Ingredients
1 sheet refrigerated pie crust
1 scoop unflavored whey protein isolate
1 tablespoon cold water
1/2 lb lean turkey breakfast sausage
4 large eggs
4 egg whites
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh spinach
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 large egg
beaten
1 tablespoon whole milk
1 tablespoon hemp hearts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, mix the refrigerated pie crust with the whey protein isolate and add cold water if necessary to form a dough.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into rectangles for the top and bottom of the pop-tarts.
- In a skillet, cook the turkey sausage until browned. Drain excess fat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, Greek yogurt, spinach, and nutritional yeast. Stir in the cooked sausage.
- Place filling on one half of each dough rectangle and fold the other half over. Seal the edges with a fork.
- Combine the beaten egg, whole milk, and hemp hearts. Brush this mixture over the top of each pop-tart.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For a crispier crust, ensure the dough is rolled out thinly and don’t overcrowd the filling.
