Copycat “Just Crack An Egg” Jars
A high protein prep ahead egg scramble built in a mason jar, perfect for an easy breakfast. Just add eggs, microwave and serve.
Servings: 4
Equipment
- 4 wide mouth microwave-safe jars with lids
Ingredients
- 2 medium yellow potatoes washed, 1/4" dice about 2 cups
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 pinch each of garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper
- 1 bell pepper diced small
- 1/2 sweet onion diced small
- 4 slices deli ham diced small
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 eggs (to add right before serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On the prepared baking sheet, toss diced potatoes in olive oil. Season with spices.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes and then allow to cool completely. Potatoes should be easily pierced with a fork.
- In four microwave-safe wide mouth pint-sized mason jars (or other similarly sized microwave-safe jar), evenly divide potatoes, peppers, onions, ham and cheese. Refrigerate until ready to use (up to 4 days).
- When ready to serve, crack 2 eggs into each mason jar. Beat gently with a fork and mix with other ingredients until everything is coated with egg.
- Microwave for 90 seconds, then beat with a fork to break apart egg and fillings. Microwave another minute and repeat. Microwave for additional 30 second increments until egg is cooked through, usually about 3 minutes or so total. Let cool for 1-2 minutes before eating. Note: Jar will be hot so be sure to use oven mitts when removing from the microwave and handling jars.
Notes
Make sure to choose microwave-safe containers and handle carefully in the microwave, the jar will be hot!
