Freezer Friendly - Quinoa Egg Scramble Bowl

Tired of the typical breakfast casserole for breakfast? These Quinoa and Egg Bowls are healthy, filling and freeze well. Which makes them the perfect meal prep breakfast. Best part; you can top them with anything you want, my favorite topping is Salsa!

I broke my life rule of not freezing eggs.  Here I go again, being a bad ass rule breaker.

Every time I post about a breakfast casserole, or a breakfast bowl I am asked if it is freezable.  My response is always “I dunno, I don’t freeze eggs”. Given I am asked this so frequently, I figured I would unleash my inner scientist and do my own experiment.

The moral of the story – google was right. You can successfully freeze scrambled eggs. But, like any good scientist I needed to validate it myself.

This recipe is make ahead (confirmed freezable!), has quinoa and essential veggies!  This is basically what my breakfast dreams are made of.

This recipe made me four breakfast bowls. Each was a 1 cup servings with each bowl having approximately 1 egg and ¼ cup of quinoa. You can very easily scale this up for more servings.

Given Sunday is typically the day I cook my quinoa for the week, and chop all my produce, this came together in about 10 minutes. I typically chop all of my veggies for the week, while my quinoa cooks in my rice cooker.

| Expert Tip | the more salsa you add, the more risk you have that this will be too soggy on reheat. You could add the salsa only at reheat if you prefer.

So, there you have it, the time I conquered my fear of freezing eggs!!
