Ingredients
- Large Eggs – A protein-rich base with healthy fats and essential vitamins, providing a creamy texture and rich, savory taste.
- Cottage Cheese – Adds a boost of protein and calcium while lending a mild tang and creamy moisture to the sandwich.
- Slices of Cheddar Cheese – Contributes bold, sharp flavor with a melty, gooey texture and a dose of calcium.
- Whole Wheat English Muffins – A fiber-rich, hearty base with a slightly nutty taste and a chewy texture.
- Scallions (green only) – Offers a fresh, mild onion flavor with a pop of color and antioxidants.
- Chili Crunch Oil – Infuses the sandwich with a spicy, garlicky crunch and healthy fats for extra depth of flavor.
- Salt & Pepper – Enhances all flavors, with salt balancing richness and pepper adding a mild heat and complexity.

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 F and set your rack to the middle position. Then, start by slicing your scallions.

- Grab a sheet pan and then add your silicone breakfast molds for breakfast sandwiches. Spray with avocado oil spray then evenly distribute your egg mixture (about ¼ cup) into each mold (there should be 6). Top each egg mixture with a teaspoon of chili crunch.
- Bake for 11-14 minutes or until eggs are set.
- Assemble your sandwiches: Grab the bottom half of the whole wheat muffin. Add the baked eggs and then top with a slice of cheese before adding the top of the muffin. Repeat.
- Wrap each sandwich with foil and then place the foil wrapped sandwiches in a gallon sized ziplock bag. Remove as much air as possible and then place in the fridge. Reheat when you are ready to serve!
