Chef’s Tips
If you have 2 or 3 free minutes at mealtime, you can fry your eggs fresh instead of reheating them. Just prepare the egg roll in a bowl meal prep base ahead of time as instructed, then fry your egg when you’re ready to eat. This will still cut down on your overall cook time, but ensures your eggs are your desired consistency. It’s a good option if you like sunny-side-up eggs with runny yolks.Not a fan of cabbage? Try broccoli slaw instead! It’s super similar to traditional coleslaw but replaces the cabbage with shredded broccoli.The steps for egg roll in a bowl meal prep move quickly once you start cooking, so measure out all of your ingredients beforehand. You’ll be glad you did.You can replace the fried egg with hard-boiled or even scrambled eggs if you prefer! For scrambled eggs, just scramble them separately and break them into small pieces, then mix them into your egg roll in a bowl mixture. If you’re tracking portions strictly, you may want to scramble them one at a time and mix the egg in after dividing the slaw.
