When Sweet Meets Savory: The Healthy French Toast Breakfast Remix
This one’s for the early risers, the gym goers, and anybody who wants their breakfast to taste bomb and fuel their day. French Toast Sammies by fitness foodie @makayla_thomas_fit take everything you love about French toast and turn it into a portable breakfast sandwich packed with protein and real flavor.
Instead of basic bread, low-calorie hotdog buns get soaked in an egg white + protein shake mix, then toasted to golden perfection. Scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, and melted cheese get sandwiched in the middle, giving you all the textures—crispy, fluffy, cheesy, and juicy. They’re sweet, savory, and totally meal prep–friendly. You can wrap ‘em, stack ‘em, or scarf ‘em right out the pan.
Ingredients
For the French Toast Buns
- 2 low-calorie hotdog buns, sliced in half
- ½ cup egg whites
- ½ cup protein shake (or milk of your choice)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
For the Sammie Filling
- ½ cup scrambled eggs
- 2 turkey sausage patties
- 2 slices cheese (your choice)
- Syrup, sugar-free if preferred
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix the Batter
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg whites, protein shake (or milk), and a sprinkle of cinnamon until well combined.
2. Dip the Buns
- Slice the hotdog buns in half and dip both sides into the egg mixture, letting them soak up the batter.
3. Cook the Buns
- In a hot skillet, toast each side of the buns until golden brown, like traditional French toast.
4. Build the Sammies
- Top one half of each bun with scrambled eggs, a turkey sausage patty, and a slice of cheese
- Close it with the other toasted half.
5. Serve or Store
- Serve warm with syrup or wrap each sammie individually for meal prep and grab-and-go breakfast.
Pro Tips & Suggestions
- Use a flavored protein shake like vanilla or cinnamon roll to boost the sweetness.
- Go dairy-free with plant-based milk and vegan cheese if needed.
- Air fry the sammies after assembling for an even crispier finish.
- Wrap in foil or parchment and store in the fridge up to 3 days.
