Description

Start your day off right with these High Protein Savory Breakfast Pop-Tarts, packed with flavor and nutrients.


Ingredients

Scale

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.
