Ingredients
For the Eggs
12 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup chopped spinach or vegetables (optional)
For the Sandwiches
6 English muffins
6 slices cheddar cheese
6 slices ham, turkey, chicken, cooked bacon, or breakfast sausage
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9.5×13-inch sheet pan with parchment paper and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
2. Whisk together the eggs, milk, cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning until smooth. Blend if you prefer extra fluffy eggs.
3. Stir in the chopped vegetables if using.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 16 to 19 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set.
5. Allow the eggs to cool slightly, then cut into 12 equal squares.
6. Split the English muffins and toast them under the broiler for 3 to 5 minutes until lightly golden.
7. Place one egg square on the bottom half of each English muffin.
8. Top with one slice of cheddar cheese, one slice of ham or your preferred meat, and another egg square.
9. Finish with the top half of the English muffin.
10. Serve immediately or allow the sandwiches to cool completely before wrapping individually for storage or freezing.
Notes
Store sandwiches in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freeze individually wrapped sandwiches for up to 3 months.
To reheat from frozen, microwave for about 3 minutes, flipping halfway through.
For a crispy sandwich, finish reheating in a 350°F oven or air fryer for about 5 minutes.
Use spinach, mushrooms, peppers, or broccoli for extra vegetables.
Whole wheat English muffins add additional fiber and nutrition.
