The Family Table: Recipe - Breakfast Sandwich Egg Patties

Friendly Reminder for recipes: C. is always cup and T. is always tablespoon. 

Recently I was looking for high protein recipes for easy meals or snacks and I came upon one that I have played around with a bit and turned into my own version for a loaded, delicious 28.9g serving of protein per patty.  

I've made it both with and without the ground sausage, but I prefer it with the added flavor and heartiness of breakfast sausage. 

It's a super easy dish that takes almost no time to put together and can be enjoyed on it's own as a side, or as a breakfast sandwich on a biscuit or English muffin.

Here's the recipe:

Pre-heat oven to 325. 

Line 12 cup muffin tin with silicone muffin liners for ease of removal.

6 large eggs

1 C. cottage cheese

1 C. shedded cheddar

*1 T. Cowboy Candy, or salsa, relish or any other type of sauce you like with eggs (optional)

* 1 t. any salt, pepper, or other seasonings you prefer (optional)

12 oz. cooked, crumbled ground breakfast sausage

Whisk eggs together, then add in cottage cheese, cheddar and any optional mix-ins. Add 1 T. cooked sausage to each cup, then pour 1 scant 1/4 C. of the egg & cheese mixture to fill to the top. Bake for 30 minutes. Use immediately or let cool slightly, then gently flatten, wrap with wax paper and place in a freezer bag & freeze for later use. 

To re-heat using a microwave, place the frozen patty on a microwave safe plate and heat for 90 seconds. Flip the patty over and heat for another 60 seconds. Enjoy on it's own or use for breakfast sandwiches on a biscuit or English muffin.
