    The holidays are over, the gyms are packed and everyone is ready to get back on track with eating healthy and exercising regularly. This Healthy Egg Muffin Sandwich recipe has always been my go to breakfast option to help me stay on track for the week.

    You can make your own homemade “Egg McMuffin” right at home. And the best part, it’s healthier for you then buying it from a fast food chain or the freezer section in the grocery store.

    It's a hearty and healthy breakfast sandwich that can be made in advance, it's filled with veggies and a great source of protein from the eggs to help keep you full all morning long. This recipe is super customizable by adding additional ingredients of your choice such as: cheese, mushrooms or bell peppers, if you prefer. These are amazing to make ahead and pull out of the fridge for a hot breakfast on-the-go!

    Why You'll Love This Recipe:

    • It's an easy and healthy breakfast made in just 30 minutes.
    • Contains only a few simple ingredients like spinach, tomato, onion and eggs.
    • You can make it ahead and have it for your weekly meal prep.
    • It provides a perfect balance of carbs, fats and protein, which makes for a healthy breakfast sandwich meal prep.

    Main Ingredients in the Egg Muffin Sandwich:

    • English Muffin – I use Food For Life 7- Sprouted Grains English Muffins 
    • Egg Whites & Veggies – I always opt for protein and veggies first thing in the AM!
    • Other Ingredients – feel free to add in cheese, mushrooms or bell peppers. Not necessary, but they make great additions to the breakfast sandwhich.

    How to Store the Breakfast Sandwich:

    If you are meal planning these ahead for the work week, the best way to store them is to let the eggs cool completely. I typically let them rest in the baking cups about 10 -15 minutes after they come out of the oven. Once completely cooled, assemble the sandwich and store them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days.

    Egg Muffin Sandwich Tips:

    • To make the Egg Muffin Sandwich, I used these BPA free silicone baking cups.
    • I buy my egg whites pre-separated. If you plan to separate the egg whites yourself, you will need about 6 egg whites, 2 egg whites for each egg muffin.
    • For storing, I like to place a paper towel in each of the sandwich containers to help absorb any moisture.
