Ingredients needed to make this recipe
How To Make A Healthy Breakfast Sandwich
- Sauté the veggies. I used spinach and onion that you can just cook for a few minutes over medium-low heat with a little olive oil. Then let cool.
- Whisk the eggs with some milk, salt & pepper, add in the cooled, cooked veggies + tomatoes and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese
1. SAUTE THE SPINACH & ONION 
2. WHISK THE EGGS WITH SOME MILK COMBINE THE VEGGIES WITH THE EGGS & CHEESE
3. Pour the egg and veggie mixture onto a sprayed baking sheet (a 13-by-9 size baking sheet is the perfect size). Make sure to spray the pan so the eggs don’t stick.
4. Bake in a 375 degrees oven for 25-30 minutes until the eggs are set and firm. Remove and let cool for a few minutes.
3. POUR THE EGG MIXTURE ONTO A SPRAYED BAKING SHEET 4. BAKE AT 375 DEGREES UNTIL FIRM & COOKED THROUGH
5. Once the eggs have cooled, use a round glass, top of a mason jar, or round cookie cutter to cut 6 even size circles. To do this, you want to place the round item (noted above) over the eggs and firmly press down and wiggle it a little. You may need to run a knife around the edges to release it. Pull some of the egg away and lift the circle of egg you cut using a small spatula or pie server.
6. Slice the English muffins, place them onto another pan and toast them in the 375 degree oven for 10 minutes. After 7 minutes, add the cheddar cheese slices to the bottom halves of the English muffins and place them back in the oven to melt for the last 3 minutes.
6. CUT THE EGGS INTO CIRCLE SHAPES 7. PlACE THE EGGS ONTO THE MUFFINS
7. Place the cut eggs onto one half the English muffins and top with the other half or place the eggs onto the half with the cheese and top with the remaining side of the muffin. You can even eat them open face style.
How amazing and delicious does that look? These are so good and filing, which is even better! Plus you can make a bunch and have them ready all week long for a quick + healthy breakfast for the whole family. I mean, that is just fantastic!
Recipe Tips
- To cook the eggs, you want to use a 9-by-13 baking sheet since it is the perfect size for this recipe. You want to make sure to spray the baking sheet well with non-stick cooking spray so the eggs don’t stick to the pan.
- You can mix up the veggies and use steamed broccoli, roasted red bell peppers, mushrooms or even roasted butternut squash.
- Add some more protein like cooked sausage or ground turkey.
- If you don’t have English muffins then you can use bread and just cut the eggs into rectangle size pieces to fit the bread. Use the same method as the recipe to toast the bread and melt the cheese.
- You can easily freeze the sandwiches or store them in the refrigerator. To freeze: Let them cool, wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap, then foil. Place them into a freezer-friendly bag, label, and store them in the freezer for up to 30 days. To refrigerate: Cover each sandwich in foil and place in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, remove foil, wrap in a paper towel, place onto a plate and microwave for 30-60 seconds.
- To reheat from frozen: Remove from packaging, place the sandwich onto a paper towel line plate and reheat in the microwave for 60-90 seconds until the eggs are fully cooked through. Let is cool for a few minutes since it will be very hot.
- Save the remaining baked egg for a quick snack or quesadillas.
