Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

8 large eggs
1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/2 cup egg whites
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Vegetables

1/2 cup roasted red bell peppers, chopped
1/4 cup Calabrian chili peppers, chopped
1/2 cup baby spinach

Assembly

6 English muffins
6 slices sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper to prepare for baking the egg patties.
Blend Egg Mixture: In a blender, combine the eggs, low-fat cottage cheese, egg whites, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Blend until the mixture is perfectly smooth and creamy.
Add Vegetables: Add the roasted red bell peppers, Calabrian chili peppers, and baby spinach to the blender. Pulse just enough to chop the vegetables evenly into the egg mixture to maintain texture.
Bake Egg Patties: Pour the blended mixture into the prepared sheet pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and cooked through.
Toast Muffins: While the eggs bake, split and toast the English muffins until golden brown and crispy to add a nice crunch to the sandwich.
Assemble Sandwiches: Once the egg base is baked and slightly cooled, cut into six portions matching the size of the English muffins. Place one egg portion on each toasted muffin, top with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese, and sandwich with the muffin top.
Serve or Freeze: Enjoy the sandwiches immediately for a warm breakfast or individually wrap each in aluminum foil and freeze. Reheat wrapped sandwiches in the oven or toaster oven for a quick and hearty meal anytime.

Notes

For best texture, avoid over-blending the vegetables; pulse to keep them slightly chunky.
Wrap sandwiches tightly in foil before freezing to prevent freezer burn.
These sandwiches can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Reheat frozen sandwiches at 350°F for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
Use low-fat cottage cheese and egg whites to keep the recipe lower in fat without sacrificing protein.
