Protein Breakfast Sandwiches
I was in desperate need of something different for breakfast! Also something that was high in protein and going to keep me full longer.
I really like breakfast sandwiches but they are quite heavy when you buy one at a fast food place. So I made my own.
First I made my eggs. I used egg whites, baked them in a pyrex @ 350 for 20-30 mins and cut into nice squares to fit in a sandwich. These taste better than buying them frozen for sure. There is about 15gms of protein in each square.
What am I using for the bread you ask? Well I was very excited to grab some of these protein Kodiak cakes. I got blueberry but they have plain and chocolate chip too. these have 12gms of protein for 2 and only 25 carbs. Not bad for waffles.
I threw some turkey bacon in the air fryer and now we are ready to create our sandwiches!
- Toast the waffles and add the egg
2. Add your cheese (I used swiss) and bacon
Put together and ta da!
I wrapped these up and have been grabbing and reheating for 1 min in the microwave. They are so good and very filling. Compared to a Mcdonalds mcgriddle, which is way smaller, the nutrition info is pretty good. If your looking for a lower fat option, dont add cheese. ๐

I will definitely try this minus the cheese since I canโt do dairy. Sounds so yummy! Thanks, Jane!
