There’s something so satisfying about having a freezer full of delicious, healthy meals—and these high-protein breakfast sandwiches are one of my favorite ways to start the day strong without any morning stress. They’re easy to prep ahead, easy to reheat, and made with real ingredients you can feel good about feeding your family (or keeping all to yourself—no judgment!).

What really takes these sandwiches to the next level? The homemade bagels. Made with just a few wholesome ingredients and no yeast or rise time, they come together quickly and taste amazing with your favorite toppings. Whether you’re building a sandwich or enjoying one on its own with a smear of cream cheese or avocado, they’re a game-changer.

Homemade High-Protein Bagels (5 Ingredients!)

Don’t let the idea of homemade bagels scare you off—these are so simple to make and packed with protein thanks to the Greek yogurt base. No yeast, no boiling, no waiting—just mix, shape, bake, and enjoy! Customize the toppings however you like (I used asiago, parmesan, and rosemary sea salt) and you’ve got the perfect base for breakfast sandwiches… or a cozy snack anytime. 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2%)
• 1 cup white whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 large egg
• Asiago and parmesan cheese, rosemary sea salt

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, flour, and baking powder until a dough forms. You will have to switch over to using your hands halfway through to knead it gently, incorporating all flour, until you form one ball of dough.
3. Divide the dough into 4 sections. Roll into 4 balls (or you can do 8 if you prefer a mini size) . Poke a hole through the middle of each ball of dough and form into a bagel shape. Place on a baking sheet.
4. In a small bowl, mix together the egg with about 1/2 tablespoon of water to form an egg wash. Brush the egg wash on the bagels and sprinkle your favorite seasoning on top.
5. Bake for 25 minutes, until the top is golden and the inside of the bagel is fully cooked. Let cool before slicing. Enjoy!

Let’s make the Breakfast Sandwiches!

Ingredients:

• 12 eggs
• ¼ cup milk
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp pepper
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ cup cottage cheese
• 6 chicken sausage patties (I buy the Applegate brand from Sprouts or Target)
• 6 slices of ham
• 12 slices of cheese (I did colby jack and cheddar)
• 12 High Protein Bagels

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9 x 13 pan. In a bowl or blender whisk together eggs, cottage cheese milk, salt, and pepper. The blender will make them fluffier. Pour into greased pan and bake for 20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes then cut into 12 squares.
2. While eggs are cooking, heat sausage patties in skillet. Remove from skillet, and heat 6 slices of ham.
3. Cut bagels and assemble sandwiches with cheese, meat and eggs. I did 6 ham with cheddar cheese, and 6 sausage with colby jack.
4. Wrap tightly with saran wrap and place in the freezer.
5. When reheating microwave for 1-2 minutes wrapped in a damp paper towel, or place in air fryer or oven.
6. Add additional toppings if desired – lettuce, tomato and avocado is great!
