Tips for the Best High-Protein Breakfast Sandwich
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the eggs from sticking and make flipping easier
- Preheat the pan properly to ensure even cooking
- Wait until the eggs are firm before flipping for the best results
- Adjust the spice level by swapping the sriracha mayo for plain mayo or Greek yoghurt
Customisation Ideas
- Swap the ham for sautéed mushrooms or spinach for a meat-free version
- Add an extra egg or sliced turkey for more protein
- Try cheddar, feta, or gouda for a different cheese option
- Include sliced avocado or crispy lettuce for added crunch
How to Store & Make Ahead
- Best served fresh, but can be wrapped in foil and kept warm for up to 30 minutes
- If meal prepping, cook the eggs and assemble everything, then store in the fridge for up to one day. Reheat in a dry pan or sandwich press before eating
- Not ideal for freezing, as eggs can become rubbery when reheated
High-Protein Breakfast Sandwich FAQs
Can I use regular bread instead of whole wheat thins?
Yes, toasted bread or an English muffin also works well.
How can I make this sandwich even healthier?
Use egg whites instead of whole eggs and add more vegetables like spinach or bell peppers.
Can I use a different sauce?
Try pesto, Dijon mustard, or a light garlic aioli for a different flavour.
What’s the best way to keep it from falling apart?
The folding technique helps, but letting the sandwich sit for a minute after folding allows the cheese to melt slightly and hold everything together.
