Description
Delicious breakfast egg sandwiches made with fluffy baked eggs, creamy cottage cheese, and melted mozzarella on toasted English muffins.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 6 English Muffins
- 3 Tbsp pesto
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish with an olive oil cooking spray to prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Add the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, and seasonings. Whisk until well combined.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the eggs are set in the middle. Cook time will vary depending on your oven.
- When the eggs are done baking, let them cool at least 10 minutes. Then cut them into 12 evenly sized squares.
- Toast the English muffins (optional). You can do this in the oven on a sheet pan at 375°F (190°C) for 6-7 minutes cut side up.
- Coat the top of the English muffins with the pesto.
- Layer the sandwich by stacking 2 egg squares and add the mozzarella cheese. Sometimes I add half the mozzarella between the egg squares.
- Top with the pesto coated top of the English muffin.
- Wrap each sandwich individually tightly in parchment paper.
- When ready to eat, remove from the paper and microwave for 1-2 minutes or heat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted.
Notes
- If you don’t like your breakfast sandwiches as thick, you can use just one square of the eggs in each sandwich and make 12 total.
