Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe uses simple pantry staples you likely already have. Fresh baby spinach adds a bright, healthy pop.

4 whole grain English muffins, split
8 large egg whites
2 large whole eggs
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese (2% milkfat)
2 cups fresh baby spinach, finely chopped
0.5 tsp kosher salt
0.25 tsp ground black pepper
4 slices reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
Non-stick olive oil cooking spray

Step-by-Step Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat a 9×9-inch square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, whole eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until the mixture is well combined and the cottage cheese curds are evenly distributed.
Fold the chopped baby spinach into the egg mixture.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, ensuring the spinach is spread evenly across the surface.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Slice the egg bake into 4 equal squares.
While the eggs cool, toast the English muffins until they reach the desired level of crispness.
Assemble each sandwich by placing one egg square on the bottom half of an English muffin.
Top the egg with one slice of cheddar cheese and the top half of the muffin.
Serve immediately or wrap individual sandwiches in parchment paper for refrigerated storage.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

Serve these warm with a dash of hot sauce. They pair perfectly with a side of fresh fruit. This is a great choice for a busy weeknight dinner too. Add some sliced avocado for extra healthy fats.

Storage & Reheating

Wrap each sandwich tightly in parchment paper. Store them in the fridge for four days. For long-term storage, use the freezer. They stay good for up to one month. Reheat in the microwave for sixty seconds. Breakfast is officially sorted for the week!

Recipe Tips for Best Results

Chop your spinach very finely for even distribution.
Whisk the eggs vigorously to create airy bubbles.
Use sharp cheddar for the boldest cheese flavor.
Let the eggs cool slightly before slicing them.
Toast the muffins right before you eat them.
Squeeze any excess moisture out of the spinach.
Use a silicone spatula to release the egg edges.
Season with extra pepper for a spicy kick.

Ways to Switch It Up

Swap cheddar for spicy pepper jack cheese.
Add sautéed mushrooms for an earthy flavor profile.
Use gluten-free muffins to keep it allergy-friendly.
Stir in some sun-dried tomatoes for a Mediterranean twist.

Common Questions

Can I use frozen spinach instead?

Yes, but make sure you thaw it first. Squeeze out all the excess water very well. Otherwise, your eggs will become very watery. Fresh is usually better for texture.

Why add cottage cheese to eggs?

It makes the eggs incredibly creamy and light. It also boosts the protein content significantly. You will not even notice the texture once baked.

You deserve a breakfast that works as hard as you do. These sandwiches are the fuel you need to crush your goals today!
