Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups egg whites
  • 4 tbsp pesto
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage
  • Sliced Gouda cheese
  • 1 package of Hawaiian rolls

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Butter a 9×13-inch sheet pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg whites, eggs, and pesto.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the buttered sheet pan. Sprinkle the top of the uncooked egg with feta cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.
  4. While the eggs are cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Form sausage into small patties and cook on each side for 4-5 minutes until they are cooked through. Use a thermometer to check the temperature as they cook. Once they reach an internal temperature of 165ºF you can remove them from the skillet.
  5. Slice the egg bake into 12-16 squares. Slice gouda cheese slices into fourths so that you have 4 small squares of cheese.
  6. Fill each sandwich with a slice of pesto egg, extra spread of pesto (optional), a couple of slices of cheese, and a sausage patty.
  7. Heat another skillet over medium-low heat and add some butter to the skillet. Pan-sear the top and bottom of each sandwich for a couple of minutes on each side to brown the tops and bottoms and melt the cheese.
