Protein Packed Egg Muffin Sandwiches Recipe

Why we love egg muffin sandwiches

This recipe is a game changer when it comes to busy mornings. We essentially just make a big batch of egg patties, and all that is left is to assemble when you’re ready to eat.

A great part about this recipe is that when you are prepping the egg patties, all you need are 2 dishes: a bowl and a baking sheet. So even the active cooking time for this recipe is straightforward!

These egg muffin sandwiches are also good for you! Our recipe calls for spinach, which has a ton of protein in it. Spinach also contains high amounts of fiber, vitamin K, and potassium. This superfood is a subtle addition from a flavor perspective, but it really uplevels this recipe in terms of nutrition!

Ways to customize our protein packed egg muffin sandwiches

The beauty of this recipe is that it is super customizable. You can really add in anything you want when making the egg patties or assembling your sandwich.

Here are some ingredients we recommend trying in the egg patties:

Any veggie would do! In fact, if you have some leftovers in your fridge, this is a great way to repurpose them. Throw in some leftover caramelized onions or stir-fried broccoli!
Deli meats also do well in this recipe! You can rip them up into little pieces so they are evenly distributed throughout. This addition will incorporate even more protein, keeping you fuller for longer!
For an Italian take on this egg patty, try adding prosciutto, parmesan, and a sprinkle of oregano.
Seasonings are always an option! Something like everything but the bagel seasoning is versatile enough for a crowd. But you can also use za’atar or another spice blend you love.

How to make our protein packed egg muffin sandwiches

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Crack eggs into a large bowl. Add milk, salt, and pepper and whisk it together until the liquid is combined.
- Note: you can use any type of egg here, whether that be whole eggs, a vegan egg substitute, or egg whites!
Pour the eggs into a 13×9 nonstick baking sheet.
Add spinach on top and bake for 12-15 minutes or until eggs are firm.
When the eggs are firm, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Cut into 12 squares.
Assemble your sandwiches. We make our sandwiches simple: an English muffin topped with 2 egg patties and a slice of cheese.
Arrange the egg muffin sandwiches on a baking sheet. Pop them in the oven to warm them up.
- Note: you can do this in a big batch if you’re serving a group, or you can heat up a single sandwich for yourself.
Remove from the oven when the cheese is melty. Enjoy!!

How to store egg muffins

Our egg muffin sandwiches are great to make for a group brunch. But, as we’ve mentioned in this post, these sandwiches are also great to make in advance for easy breakfasts.

If you have leftover sandwiches, that have already been assembled, you can store them in an airtight container or in a resealable bag. You can also roll them up into tin foil. If you use tin foil, you can easily throw it in the oven to reheat!

If you are making a batch to eat at a later time, we recommend storing the egg patties on their own. You can assemble the sandwiches in advance, but we suggest waiting to bake them until you are ready to eat them.

Stored properly, these will last for 3-5 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer!
