This hearty, handheld breakfast layers whole-grain bread, melty reduced-fat cheddar, and a protein-rich egg patty, served with a sweet-and-tangy honey mustard yogurt sauce. Each half-sandwich delivers 12 grams of protein and 1 oz eq of both whole grains and meat/meat alternate, making it a satisfying, compliant option for breakfast service. Ideal for same-day prep and grab-and-go formats, it’s a student-friendly favorite with a gourmet feel.

Directions

  1. Thaw egg patties overnight.
    CCP: Hold at 41° F or below.
  2. Preheat oven to 375° F.
  3. Spray a full sheet pan with butter-flavored pan release. Lay 24 slices of bread onto prepared pan.
  4. Top each slice of bread with one cheese slice, then one egg patty, and finally two cheese slices.
  5. Top with remaining slice of bread. Spray top of sandwiches lightly with butter-flavored pan release spray.
  6. Bake at 375° F for 8-10 minutes or until bread is toasted and cheese is melted. As an option, place a sheet pan on top of sandwiches for improved browning.

    CCP: No bare hand contact with ready to eat food.
