Notes

Cooking Tips

• Using cottage cheese in the eggs creates a creamier texture while adding extra protein.

• Lean shaved steak cooks quickly and keeps this breakfast bowl high in protein without excessive fat.

• Air frying the potatoes separately helps them stay crispy when added back into the bowl.

• If meal prepping, store the sauce separately and drizzle it on after reheating.

• If you prefer a thinner sauce, add 1–2 teaspoons of water or milk and stir until you reach your desired consistency.

• Provolone cheese gives a more classic Philly cheesesteak flavor, while mozzarella melts beautifully and keeps the bowl a little lighter.

Gut Health Notes

• Potatoes provide fiber and resistant starch, especially when cooled and reheated, which may help support beneficial gut bacteria.

• Bell peppers and onions provide antioxidants and prebiotic compounds that support digestive health.

• Greek yogurt and cottage cheese add protein while also providing beneficial bacteria that support a healthy gut microbiome.

• Pairing protein, fiber and healthy fats together can help support blood sugar balance and keep you feeling satisfied longer.

Made in My Magnifique Combo Air Fryer

I made this recipe in my Magnifique Combo Air Fryer, which made the entire recipe incredibly simple because everything cooked in the same glass dish.

I used Air Fry mode for the potatoes, Braise mode for the steak, peppers and onions, then finished everything with Max Crisp to melt the cheese and give it that perfect golden finish.

One of my favorite things about the Magnifique Combo Air Fryer is that the only materials touching your food are borosilicate glass and stainless steel. There are no Teflon or PFAS-coated cooking surfaces touching your food. The unit is designed around a glass cooking vessel that allows you to cook, serve and store meals in the same dish. It also combines air frying and multicooking functions in one appliance with modes including Air Fry, Bake, ReCrisp, Max Crisp, Braise, Slow Cook, Pasta, Rice, Steam and more.

Other features I love:

• Glass and stainless steel cooking surfaces
• One-dish cooking with less cleanup
• Air Fry, Braise, Pasta, Rice and Max Crisp modes
• Dishwasher-safe glass pot
• Ability to cook and crisp in the same dish
