Soft, savory, and deeply satisfying—this breakfast sandwich layers fluffy eggs, melty cheese, and leafy greens onto a gluten-free cottage cheese oat roll for a balanced, protein-packed start to your day. It’s perfect for supporting energy, mood, and blood sugar through the luteal or menstrual phase (or anytime you’re feeling cozy and cravey).

Ingredients

Serves 1

• 1 Cottage Cheese Oat Roll (see previous recipe, sliced in half)
  
  
• 1 large egg
  
  
• 1 slice cheese of choice (cheddar, Swiss, goat, or plant-based)
  
  
• Small handful of baby spinach or arugula
  
  
• ½ teaspoon ghee, butter, or avocado oil for cooking
  
  
• Optional: 1 slice tomato, 2 slices avocado, or 1 tsp hormone-friendly pesto
  
  
• Pinch of sea salt and black pepper
  
  

Directions

1. Toast the roll:
   
   Slice the oat roll in half and lightly toast it in a toaster or skillet until warm and slightly crisped.
   
   
2. Cook the egg:
   
   In a small skillet over medium heat, warm the ghee or oil. Crack in the egg and cook to your liking—scrambled, fried, or even as an omelet-style fold. Season with salt and pepper.
   
   
3. Assemble the sandwich:
   
   Place the cheese slice on the bottom half of the warm roll. Add the cooked egg, then top with greens and any extras like tomato or avocado. Finish with the top half of the roll.
   
   
4. Serve warm and enjoy immediately, or wrap in parchment for an on-the-go hormone-supportive breakfast.
   
   

Nourish Notes

• Eggs are rich in choline and vitamin D—vital for hormone synthesis, brain clarity, and mood regulation.
  
  
• Cottage cheese + oats provide long-lasting energy, blood sugar balance, and support for progesterone production.
  
  
• Greens like spinach add folate and iron, helpful during the menstrual phase.
  
  
• Add a spoonful of fermented veggies or pickled onion for bonus gut-love.
