pretzel bun egg sandwich sliders
After a lot of testing, I finally discovered that the best, easiest way to make a big batch of eggs for breakfast sandwiches is to blend them with cottage cheese until just combined and frothy.
I used to think that blending eggs would make them tough and rubbery, but it turns out that it creates a custardy, fluffy egg bake that you can use for all sorts of things.
Here, I’m making pretzel bun egg sandwich sliders which are great for a brunch crowd. But you could use the exact same egg bake to make freezer-friendly, make-ahead breakfast sandwiches to eat all week long.

pretzel bun egg sandwich sliders
serves 9
Ingredients
- nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- several grinds black pepper
- 1 (11-ounce) package pretzel slider buns, such as King’s Hawaiian
- 4 slices American or cheddar cheese
- hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Generously grease an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick spray. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until uniform and frothy, about 5 seconds. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Bake until the eggs are just set, 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn the oven to broil.
- Separate the bottom and top halves of the buns, otherwise leaving the individual buns intact, then place cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Broil until toasted, 1 to 3 minutes.
- Run a knife around the perimeter of the eggs to loosen, then carefully transfer onto the bottom halves of the buns. Place in the baking dish and top with the cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute.
- Drizzle with hot sauce, if using, then cover with the top halves of the buns. Cut into individual sliders before serving.
