These high-protein breakfast sandwiches have 30g of protein and just 375 calories each. They’re easy to meal prep, freezer-friendly, and made with fluffy cottage cheese eggs that stay soft — no soggy or rubbery texture. They reheat perfectly, making them ideal for busy mornings.
10largeeggs, (I love pasture raised, organic eggs)
½cupcottage cheese, 2% or full-fat
6English muffins, split (whole wheat or white)
6cooked breakfast sausage patties, pork or chicken, can substitute for turkey bacon or Canadian bacon
6slicesof sharp cheddar cheese, or your favorite kind
½teaspoonsalt
¼teaspoonblack pepper
Instructions
Prep: Preheat oven to 325°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Make the eggs: In a blender or with an immersion blender, blend the eggs and cottage cheese until just combined (do not over-blend). Stir in salt and pepper.
Bake: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the eggs are just set in the center. Let cool completely.
Cut the eggs: Cut the baked eggs into 6 equal portions (rounds using a biscuit cutter or squares).
Assemble: Place the bottom halves of the English muffins on a surface. Top each with an egg portion, a slice of cheddar cheese, and a sausage patty. Add the top halves of the muffins.
Freeze: Wrap each sandwich tightly in foil (or parchment paper + foil). Place in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Reheat (Best Method): For best texture, thaw overnight in the fridge. Remove foil, wrap loosely in a paper towel, and microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through.
Reheat (From Frozen): Remove foil, wrap in a paper towel, and microwave for 1–2 minutes, flipping halfway, until warm. For a crispier texture, finish in a toaster oven or oven at 350°F for 5–10 minutes.
Notes
Cool before assembling – let the eggs cool completely to prevent soggy sandwiches after freezingToast the English muffins – lightly toasting helps them hold up better and improves texture after reheatingWrap tightly – use parchment paper or foil, then store in a sealed bag or container to prevent freezer burnThaw for best results – thaw overnight in the fridge for more even reheatingReheat in two steps – microwave first, then finish in the oven or toaster oven for a crispier textureSkip watery ingredients – avoid tomato or avocado before freezing; add fresh after reheating
