Description
These high-protein vegetarian breakfast sandwiches are perfect for meal prep, combining eggs, broccoli, cottage cheese, and vegetarian sausage on toasted English muffins.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chopped broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 6 slices sharp cheddar cheese (about 1 oz each)
- 6 vegetarian sausage patties (e.g., Morning Star Farm brand)
- 6 English muffins
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spray a 10.5 x 7.5-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Whisk until fully beaten and pour into the greased baking dish.
- Evenly sprinkle chopped broccoli on top of the eggs and gently press it down so it’s covered by the egg.
- Spoon cottage cheese on top of the broccoli, adding about six heaping tablespoons to ensure each sandwich has an equal amount. Spread the cottage cheese around.
- Bake the egg mixture in the oven until firm and cooked through, about 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Cut into six equal slices.
- While the eggs bake, prepare the sausage patties (thaw in the microwave for 30 seconds and then brown in a pan over medium heat).
- Toast the English muffins.
- Assemble each sandwich by layering one slice of the egg bake, a slice of cheese, a sausage patty, and the top of the muffin. Add any extra condiments as desired.
- Allow each sandwich to cool completely. Tightly wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap, parchment, or tin foil.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
- For added spice, try adding hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the egg mixture or sandwich.
- These sandwiches are ideal for meal prep and freeze well.
- Use whole wheat English muffins for extra fiber.
- Microwave refrigerated sandwiches for about 1 minute or bake frozen ones at 350°F for 20-30 minutes wrapped in foil.
