Ingredients:
- 10 eggs
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 6 sausage patties (store-bought or homemade, recipe below)
- Cheese slices (your choice of cheese)
- 6 Dave’s Killer Bagels
- Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
Homemade Sausage Patty Recipe:
- 1 lb ground chicken
- ¼ large red onion, finely diced
- 1 Granny Smith apple, finely diced
- 2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1.5 teaspoon sea salt (we love @redmonds)
- Optional: 1 clove of minced garlic or a few dashes of garlic powder
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the Homemade Sausage Patties (Optional)
If you’re opting to make your own sausage patties, start by bringing 1 tablespoon of avocado or olive oil to medium-high heat in a skillet. In a bowl, combine the ground chicken, diced red onion, diced Granny Smith apple, pure maple syrup, sea salt, and garlic. Form the mixture into patties.
Once the oil is hot, place the sausage patties in the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Set aside to cool while you prep the other ingredients.
Step 2: Prepare the Egg and Cottage Cheese Bake
In a large bowl, whisk together the 10 eggs, ½ cup of cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Pour the egg mixture into a heavily greased sheet pan.
Bake at 400°F for 7-9 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked and set. Once baked, slice the egg mixture into 6 even pieces. These will be the protein-packed layers of your breakfast sandwiches.
Step 3: Assemble the Bagel Sandwiches
Toast the Dave’s Killer Bagels for some extra crunch, if desired. Place one egg slice and one sausage patty (store-bought or homemade) on each bagel half. Add a slice of your favorite cheese on top.
Step 4: Meal Prep and Store
Wrap each sandwich individually in foil or place them in an airtight container. Store them in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
How to Reheat:
- In the Microwave:
If you’re reheating from the fridge, microwave your sandwich for about 60 seconds. If frozen, microwave for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through. - In the Air Fryer:
For a crispy bagel and perfectly reheated sandwich, pop it in the air fryer at 350°F for 5-7 minutes (for frozen) or 3-4 minutes (if refrigerated).
