Ingredients:
- Avocado Oil Cooking Spray sub preferred nonstick spray
- Baby Spinach
- Eggs
- Cottage Cheese
- Kosher Salt
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Garlic Powder
- Cayenne
- English Muffins
- Frozen Pre-Cooked Sausage Patties
- Sliced Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Step-by-step:
Step one: prep the oven and baking sheet
Preheat the oven to 350℉ and generously spray a quarter sheet pan (or 13×9 baking dish) with avocado oil cooking spray. Set aside.
Step two: wilt the spinach
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray generously with the cooking spray. Add the spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Step three: make the egg mixture
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne until well combined and frothy.
Step four: bake the eggs
Add the wilted spinach and whisk once more to combine, then pour into the prepared sheet pan into a single layer. Transfer to the oven and bake until the eggs have just set, about 15 minutes.
Step five: cut the eggs
Remove from the oven and let cool enough to handle. Using a mason jar lid or biscuit cutter to cut 6 even pieces of egg mixture. Alternatively, you can just carve them into 6-equal squares.
Step six: assemble the sandwiches and freeze!
Place one egg section onto 1/2 of each English Muffin, then add a sausage patty and a slice of cheese on top. Cover with the other half of the english muffin. Wrap each breakfast sandwich in parchment paper. Store in a freezer friendly bag until ready to reheat. These keep well in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Recipe FAQs:
You sure will! I love to use a spatula and scramble the leftovers up and eat them in tortillas with a little bit of salsa as a breakfast taco, or you can even enjoy as a quick scramble reheated the next day!
I think the English muffins hold up really well in the freezer, but biscuits could work here, too!
Any frozen, pre-cookedmsausage patties work, but I prefer the Applegate chicken and sage sausage patties! If you use fresh bulk breakfast sausage you need to cook prior to adding them to the sandwiches.
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on these sandwiches! Let me know what you think!

These are delicious!! I did a can of green chiles instead of spinach and then when I microwaved them I added some of the Trader Joe’s green jalapeno sauce…sooo good!!! I also did 6 eggs and about 3/4 cup egg whites and it made 12 sandwiches.
these look amazing! question – do you pre toast the english muffins? will they be soggy if you don’t?
Great question! No need to pre-toast the English muffins. They actually hold up beautifully in the freezer and won’t get soggy. When you reheat the sandwich, the muffin toasts up perfectly on its own and gives you that nice texture.
Ok the flavor is on point. These are delicious. The only problem is that I’ve tried both reheating methods from frozen but the middle of the sandwich is freezing cold. Any suggestions?
Ok, these are amazing!! Will be regularly making these on Sunday night for the week day mornings!
I’ve made these several times for friends and myself during postpartum, they reheat great
question 🙂 if i don’t have a microwave (i know!) or an air fryer how would you recommend reheating these?
We have warmed these in the oven and they take a little time but will work! Try 350 and check after 10 min to see!
Good morning
I’m a bit confused on how much cottage cheese to use? Do you use a measuring cup for 1/2 cup or use a 5 oz container of cottage cheese? Very excited to make these
