High-Protein Breakfast Prep: Egg Squares & Homemade Sausage Patties

For the Egg Squares:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, 0.5 tsp kosher salt, 0.5 tsp pepper, 0.5 tsp Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute, and shredded pepper jack cheese. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x9 pan.
2. Place the 9x9 pan into a larger pan. Fill the larger pan with boiling water until the water level reaches the top of the eggs in the 9x9 pan.
3. Bake in a preheated oven at 350ºF (175ºC) for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, allow to cool, and then cut into 9 squares. Serve fresh or store in the fridge in a container.

For the Breakfast Patties:

1. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground pork (or ground chicken), 3 tbsp maple syrup, 0.5 tsp dried thyme, 0.5 tsp garlic powder, 0.5 tsp onion powder, 0.5 tsp Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute, 0.5 tsp kosher salt (only if your ground pork doesn’t contain any salt), and 0.25 tsp pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
2. Form the mixture into 9 thin patties.
3. In a pan on medium heat, add olive oil and cook the breakfast patties for about 3 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Serve fresh or store them in the fridge in a container.
