INGREDIENTS

  • 18 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • 10 english muffins
  • 10 frozen sausage patties
  • 10 slices American cheese or cheese of choice
  • For serving: avocado, chipotle mayo, hot sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Adjust the one oven rack to the lowest position. Generously spray a large sheet pan with nonstick spray.
  • Add the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper to a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into the prepared baking pan.
    18 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese, 1 teaspoon kosher salt divided, 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, until the edges and top are set but it jiggles slightly when you nudge it. It's ok if the eggs bubble in the oven, they will deflate as they cool.
  • Cook the sausage patties according to the package directions. Cut the eggs into squares (they don't have to be perfect) or use a biscuit cutter to cut them into circles. Stack two pieces of egg on the bottom of an english muffin, top with the breakfast sausage patty, a slice of cheese, and the top of the english muffin.
    10 english muffins, 10 frozen sausage patties, 10 slices American cheese
  • Enjoy right away: heat the sandwich at 350 for 7-8 minutes, until the cheese melts. Serve with avocado and sauce of choice.
  • To freeze: Wrap each sandwich individually in parchment paper then foil. Store in a freezer safe resealable bag for up to 2 months. Repeat in the parchment paper in the microwave for 2 1/2 minutes or reheat in the oven at 350 for 10-12 minutes.

Notes

English muffins. Swap these for high protein cottage cheese bagels.
Gluten-Free. Use Canyon Bake House gluten-free english muffins.
Dairy-free. Omit the cheese or use a plant-based cheese or lactose-free cheese.
More vegetables. Saute peppers, onions, spinach, etc. and add them to the baking dish with the eggs before baking.
