Ingredients

Scale

1 sheet refrigerated pie crust

1 scoop unflavored whey protein isolate

1 tablespoon cold water

1/2 lb lean turkey breakfast sausage

4 large eggs

4 egg whites

1/2 cup cottage cheese

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh spinach

1 tablespoon nutritional yeast

1 large egg

1 tablespoon whole milk

1 tablespoon hemp hearts

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the pie crust and whey protein isolate, adding cold water if needed to form a dough.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey sausage until browned. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, Greek yogurt, spinach, and nutritional yeast.
Add the cooked sausage to the egg mixture and combine well.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface. Cut into rectangles to form the base and top for the pop-tarts.
Place a spoonful of filling on the center of each rectangle, then top with another rectangle. Seal the edges with a fork.
In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and whole milk. Brush the mixture on top of each pop-tart and sprinkle with hemp hearts.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite vegetables or proteins. These pop-tarts can be stored in the refrigerator for a quick breakfast on-the-go.
