Description

Delicious chicken sausage breakfast sandwiches with eggs, cheese, and your favorite toppings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 large eggs
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese
  • 6 cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 cup spinach, roughly chopped
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup grated apple
  • 1 tsp each: dried thyme, garlic powder, onion powder
  • ½ tsp each: dried oregano, dried parsley, red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 English muffins (or your favorite sandwich bread)
  • favorite toppings: hot sauce, avocado, cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the eggs: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray. Add the eggs, cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to a large bowl and whisk. Pour the mixture in the casserole dish. Stir in the quartered cherry tomatoes and spinach. I usually tear the spinach with my hands or roughly chop it. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the eggs are set in the middle and edges are starting to brown. Cook time will vary depending on your oven.

  2. Make the Chicken Sausage Patties: while the eggs bake, make your chicken sausage patties by adding the ingredients to a bowl. Mix to combine and form 8 patties. I like to line a baking sheet with parchment paper and add the patties to it. Heat a skillet on medium heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is heated, add the first batch of sausage patties and cook 4-6 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 165℉ (75°C).

  3. Once the eggs are done, let them cool for a few minutes and then divide into 8 pieces. You will likely have some leftovers so go ahead and taste test!

  4. Assemble your sandwiches by adding a sausage patty and egg slice between the English muffin halves. If you want to freeze them, wrap them tightly. I like to use parchment paper to wrap them. To avoid freezer burn, put the wrapped sandwiches in a freezer-safe bag or container.
