Tips and Tricks

Make it Ahead: Slice the sausage and cook the egg whites the night before for an even quicker breakfast assembly in the morning. You can even meal prep several sandwiches so you have enough for a few mornings.
Veggie Boost: Adding veggies like spinach, mashed avocado, red onions, red peppers, or tomatoes not only boosts flavor but also adds important vitamins and minerals.
Cheese Variety: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. A spicy pepper jack can add a nice kick, while mozzarella pairs nicely with tomato and herbs and a smear of light cream cheese would go great with a bit of lox or smoked salmon subbed in for the sausage.
Storage: These healthy breakfast sandwiches can be wrapped in foil and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just remove them from the foil and pop them in the microwave for a quick reheat.
