With make ahead directions, you can make even your most hectic days start right with a warm, healthy breakfast sandwich. Yum!
How do you like to start each day?
Lately, I’ve been trying to get my day started in the healthiest way possible. Somehow, it seems easier to stick to a healthy routine if I can get some protein and vegetables in first thing in the morning.
But, it can be so darn hard to find something that is good for you, filling, delicious…and portable.
Ever since leaving my office job to work at home with the baby, having a breakfast I can take with me on the run has become critical. No longer can I sit down at a quiet desk with a warm bowl of oatmeal (unless it’s the weekend).
Why portable breakfasts?
These days, my mornings are filled with chasing kids through getting dressed, teeth brushed, double checking homework, lunches and bags packed, and eventually out the door. All while also making sure the baby is fed, and has a clean diaper.
I need something that takes pretty much zero time in the mornings, and is ready to go when I am.

But, Leslie, how is a healthy breakfast sandwich fast?
It’s all in the meal prep my friends! Make a large batch of these healthy breakfast sandwiches at once, wrap them individually and stick them in the fridge or freezer. In the mornings, just grab one, stick it in the oven (or toaster oven) and let it heat up while you manage the rest of the chaos.
The heat from the oven softens up the spinach and sun dried tomatoes, and melts the feta into a deliciously salty companion.
Mmmmmm….sooooo good!
Plus, it’s the perfect balance of whole grains, protein, and fat to keep you full right up until lunchtime.
Healthy Breakfast Sandwich with Egg White, Spinach, and Feta
Healthy Breakfast Sandwich with Egg White, Spinach, and Feta
With make ahead directions, you can make even your most hectic days start right with a warm, healthy breakfast sandwich. Yum!
Ingredients
- Arnold whole wheat sandwich thins
- 6 T Store-Bought Egg Whites, or 2 whole egg whites
- 1 T Crumbled Feta
- 1/2 T julienne cut sun dried tomatoes, dry packed, diced
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup spinach, torn into small pieces
- salt & pepper to taste
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare aluminum foil by cutting it into a sheet at least 1 foot wide. Spray the matte side with a light coat of cooking spray.
- Mist a soup bowl with cooking spray. Measure 6 T purchased egg whites (or the whites of 2 eggs) into the prepared bowl. Sprinkle with Salt & pepper.
- Microwave the egg whites for 1 minute 15 seconds, or until cooked through. (Microwave times may vary based on the wattage of your microwave)
- Open up a sandwich thin and top with cooked egg whites. Layer torn spinach, feta, and sun dried tomatoes on top of the egg whites. Top with remaining half of the sandwich thin. Wrap tightly in prepared foil and plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze up to 1 month.
To reheat:
- Turn oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit for refrigerated sandwiches, or 350 degrees Fahrenheit for frozen sandwiches. Unwrap sandwiches so only one side is exposed and place the foil and sandwich in the oven together. Do not wait for the oven to preheat.
- Heat until warm, about 20 minutes, flipping the sandwich over once during cooking.
Notes
Tips for Making Healthy Breakfast Sandwich with Egg White, Spinach, and Feta:
- To freeze, wrap tightly in foil, then wrap again in plastic wrap (I like to use Glad Press 'n Seal), and store in a zip tight freezer bag.
- Make a whole week's worth by laying out all of your sandwich thins at once and loading up the toppings assembly line style
- Reheat the sandwich in an oven or toaster oven to ensure the bread isn't soggy.

I don’t like to eat as soon or even an hour after I get up. So a portable breakfast is perfect. Found you on Sunday Dinner Bell Link Party.
LIsa says
Breakfast is my favorite meal. I make sure I’m up early enough to sit down for about an hour each morning before I have to get ready for work. I am like you. I want a protein in the morning to get me going. Sometimes I have had to take my meal on the road.
Here is an idea. I like to make everything “on the go” in muffin form. You can make little egg omelet muffins by adding egg, cheese and veggies to muffin cup and bake. They are ready for the road. I love those wheat thins too. I will put peanut butter and banana in them for the road too.

We try to all sit down together and eat, never eating on the run, but I can see that these would work great in our house for an after school snack! Thanks for bringing them to Fiesta Friday.

I need to find that Glad’s seal and press!! And I agree with the meal prep – I think it is the key to a stress-free week if you are eating healthy. These look amazing and I love feta and spinach! Thanks for sharing at Fiesta Friday party!
