Ingredients You’ll Need
- 10 large eggs: I prefer using pasture-raised, organic eggs for their rich flavor and nutritious benefits.
- ½ cup cottage cheese: This adds moisture and creaminess to the filling. Use 2% or full-fat for the best results.
- 6 English muffins: Whole wheat or white varieties work wonderfully; they create a sturdy base.
- 6 cooked breakfast sausage patties: I often use pork, but chicken or turkey bacon are great alternatives.
- 6 slices of sharp cheddar cheese: The sharpness balances the richness of the other ingredients; feel free to use your favorite cheese.
- ½ teaspoon salt: Enhances flavor—adjust to your taste preference.
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper: A little spice goes a long way in elevating the dish.
How to Make High-Protein Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches
- Prep the oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Blend the eggs: In a blender or with an immersion blender, blend together 10 large eggs and ½ cup cottage cheese until just combined; remember, don’t over-blend. Stir in ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper for flavor.
- Bake the egg mixture: Pour the egg mixture into the greased baking dish and bake for about 15–20 minutes, or until the eggs are just set in the center. Let it cool completely.
- Cut the eggs: Once cool, cut the baked eggs into 6 equal portions, using a round biscuit cutter or knife.
- Assemble the sandwiches: On a clean surface, place the bottom halves of your English muffins. Top each with a portion of baked egg, a slice of cheddar cheese, and a sausage patty. Finish with the top halves of the muffins.
- Wrap and freeze: Tightly wrap each sandwich in foil or parchment paper plus foil. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Reheat method (Best Technique): For optimal texture, thaw the sandwich overnight in the fridge. Remove the foil, loosely wrap it in a paper towel, and microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through.
- Reheat from frozen: Remove the foil, wrap in a paper towel, and microwave for 1–2 minutes, flipping halfway, until warm. For extra crispiness, finish in a toaster oven or regular oven preheated to 350°F for 5–10 minutes.
Storing & Reheating
These sandwiches can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days if kept in an airtight container. For freezing, wrap each sandwich tightly in foil, and they’ll stay fresh for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to eat, the best way to reheat is to let them thaw overnight and then microwave, or you can heat them from frozen and finish them in the oven for that delicious crispy finish.
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- Make sure not to over-blend the egg mixture; a well-mixed batter should still have some texture and not be completely smooth.
- Use room-temperature eggs and ingredients for better blending and fluffier eggs.
- To avoid soggy bread, ensure that the egg mixture has cooled completely before assembly.
- Feel free to mix in herbs or spices in the egg mixture for added flavor, like chives or paprika.
- Experiment with different kinds of cheese—pepper jack adds a fun kick!
The wonderful thing about these sandwiches is that they open the door to culinary creativity. Personalize them with ingredients you love, such as spinach or avocado, and you’ll find your own favorite version that’s just perfect for you. These sandwiches not only taste amazing but can make your mornings brighter and more delicious.
