Mozzarella and Egg Breakfast Sandwich
For an easy, healthy egg breakfast sandwich, try this one made with roasted peppers, basil, and mozzarella cheese. For easy meal prep, make 6 or more of these on Sunday and store them in the freezer wrapped individually in parchment paper and then in a zip-lock bag. To thaw, simply pull one out and place in the Microwave on Defrost for 1 minute (Courtesy of Beachbody)
