High-Protein Egg Breakfast 🍳

This is my absolute favorite breakfast to make that’s extremely easy and high in protein but also delicious!

Here’s the recipe!

Ingredients:

🥚2 boiled eggs

🧈1 tbsp butter

🍞4 sliced bread (I used white bread!)

Instructions:

1. Mash eggs together with softened butter until nice and creamy.

2. Stack egg mixture on bread to make a sandwich!

3. Enjoy!

Would you make this at home? It packs like 14g of protein in one meal and is so tasty 😋

... Read moreI’ve tried many breakfast recipes over the years, but this high-protein egg sandwich quickly became one of my favorites because of its simplicity and satisfying taste. What I love most about this recipe is how quick it is to prepare — just boil your eggs the night before or in the morning, then mash them with softened butter. The butter adds a rich creaminess that balances the eggs perfectly, making it much more indulgent than plain boiled eggs. I usually use white bread like mentioned here, but sometimes I swap it out for whole grain or sourdough to add extra fiber and flavor. The bread choice can easily adapt to your taste or dietary needs. For a bit of crunch, you can toast the bread lightly before spreading the egg mixture. This breakfast is not only easy but also packed with about 14 grams of protein, which helps keep me full and energized well into the afternoon. It's a great option if you’re focused on building muscle, maintaining satiety, or just want a quick nutritious meal in the morning. You can also customize it by adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley to the egg mash for extra flavor, or include a slice of tomato or avocado inside the sandwich. These additions boost the nutritional profile and keep the meal exciting. Overall, this 3-ingredient high-protein egg breakfast is perfect for busy mornings or when you want a healthy, delicious start without spending too much time in the kitchen. Give it a try and see how this simple yet tasty meal can become your go-to breakfast!
