These meal prep breakfast sandwiches are high in protein, easy to make ahead, and freezer-friendly. Made with fluffy eggs blended with cottage cheese, melty cheese, and your choice of meat, they're a simple balanced breakfast that you can reheat in minutes.
Cook the eggs: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a 9x12 baking dish with parchment paper and lightly coat with nonstick spray.
In a blender, add the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until completely smooth.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes until the eggs are set in the center. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing. Cut into 12 equal squares.
Assemble the sandwiches: To each English muffin, add 2 egg squares, 1 cooked turkey sausage patty or 3 slices of ham or turkey, and a slice of cheddar cheese.
If you are consuming the sandwiches right away, heat at 350°F for 5 minutes until the cheese is melted. Or heat in the microwave for 15-30 seconds. Or wrap them individually and store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
To freeze:
Wrap the sandwiches individually and freeze for up to 2 months.
To reheat:
From the fridge: Microwave for 45-60 seconds until heated through. Heat for an additional 10-20 seconds as needed. For more even heating, I like to sometimes take the sandwich apart and microwave the bottom half (bottom English muffin, egg, turkey sausage) for 45-60 seconds until heated through. Then microwave the top (top English muffin + cheese) for about 30 seconds until the cheese is melted.
From the freezer: Thaw in the fridge overnight and microwave for 45-60 seconds until heated through. Heat for an additional 10-20 seconds as needed.
Oven method: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Wrap each sandwich in aluminum foil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until heated through.
You can also finish the sandwich in a toaster oven after microwaving for a crispier, more toasted sandwich.
Notes
Let eggs cool slightly before slicing. This helps them set fully and makes it easier to cut into even portions.
Toast English muffins (optional). Lightly toasting the English muffins helps prevent sogginess and improves the texture after reheating.
Wrap the sandwiches individual. Wrap tightly for easy grab-and-go meals and better storage.
Storage. Wrap sandwiches individually and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave until warm.
