How to Make Microwave Egg and Veggie Jars

These make-ahead, low carb breakfast jars are perfect for a quick, on-the-go breakfast. Store in the fridge or the freezer, and just add two eggs to the jar before microwaving. You could use any combination of vegetables—try others like asparagus, green onion, kale, zucchini. You could even use frozen or canned vegetables (look for low sodium).

Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Cook the turkey sausage in a small skillet until browned. Chop into crumbles while cooking.

  2. Toss the dice bell pepper, onion, broccoli, and mushrooms together in a small bowl.

  3. Prepare the jars by spraying the insides with cooking spray. Add 1/4 cup sausage, 1 tablespoon cheese, 1/4 cup diced vegetables mixture and 2 to 3 jalapeno pepper slices (if using) to each jar.

  4. Cover and store the jars for up to 4 days in the refrigerator, on in the freezer for up to 3 months. If storing in the freezer, transfer the frozen jars to the fridge the night before you plan to eat them to thaw.

  5. When ready to eat, add 2 eggs to the jar and stir well (or seal the jar and shake). Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Repeat until eggs are set (it may take 1-1/2 to 2 minutes depending on your microwave).

Microwave egg and veggie jars

This isn't so much of a review but a question. Is it safe and how long can you store them?

I have a bad habit of not eating breakfast so I decided to make this up to try. I LOVE it!
