Breakfast Sandwich

These High-Protein Breakfast Sandwiches are one of the easiest ways to stay on track while still enjoying a satisfying, grab-and-go breakfast. Made with lean turkey sausage, baked egg and cottage cheese squares, and toasted English muffins, they’re ideal for meal prep and way better than anything from a drive-thru.

Why You’ll Love These Breakfast Sandwiches

  • Packed with Protein: 30g of protein per sandwich to keep you full and fueled

  • Make-Ahead Friendly: Great for meal prep—just reheat and go

  • Easy Ingredients: Uses simple staples like eggs, cottage cheese, and turkey sausage

  • Customizable: Add your favorite sauce or switch up the bread and cheese

Ingredients (Makes 5 Sandwiches)

  • 5 eggs

  • 1¼ cup cottage cheese

  • 1 lb Jennie-O Lean Turkey Sausage

  • 5 cheese slices

  • 5 English muffins (I used Dave’s Killer Bread)

  • Sriracha mayo (optional)

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

How to Make Them

1. Make the Egg Squares
Blend eggs, cottage cheese, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, season with pepper, and bake at 400°F for 8–10 minutes.

2. Cut and Set Aside
Once baked, slice the egg into 6 squares—you’ll have 1 extra for a snack.

3. Cook the Sausage Patties
Divide the turkey sausage into 5 equal portions, flatten into patties, and air fry at 400°F for 10–12 minutes or until fully cooked.

4. Toast the Muffins
While the patties cook, toast your English muffins to your liking.

5. Assemble
Stack each sandwich with a muffin base, egg square, sausage patty, slice of cheese, and muffin top. Add sriracha mayo or any sauce you like.

How to Freeze and Reheat

To Freeze:

  1. Let the cooked egg squares, sausage patties, and toasted English muffins cool completely before assembling.

  2. Assemble each sandwich fully (with cheese, optional sauce, etc.).

  3. Wrap each sandwich tightly in parchment paper or aluminum foil.

  4. Place the wrapped sandwiches in a large freezer-safe bag or airtight container.

  5. Label with the date. They’ll keep well in the freezer for up to 1 month.

To Reheat:

From Frozen:

  • Unwrap the sandwich and loosely wrap it in a damp paper towel.

  • Microwave for 1:30–2 minutes, flipping halfway through.

  • For a crispier texture, microwave for 1–1:30 minutes, then toast in a toaster oven or air fryer for a few more minutes.

From Fridge:

  • Microwave for 45–60 seconds, or toast until heated through.

These sandwiches are perfect for busy mornings or post-workout meals. You can make a full batch ahead of time, store in the fridge or freezer, and reheat in the microwave or toaster oven when you need them. They’re simple, filling, and way better than a protein bar.
