This is one of the best sandwiches for meal prep! You can easily make a few gluten free breakfast sandwiches, wrap them in aluminum foil, and then place into the freezer for up to 3 months.
To reheat, let them thaw in the fridge overnight and cook in the air fryer at 350 F for 4-5 minutes wrapped in foil.
Yes, I never make my scrambled eggs with milk so all you'd have to do is substitute the cheddar cheese with a vegan cheese or leave it off entirely. You'd also want to check your bagel, most are dairy free but it's always better to be safe.
If you don't want to make it with ham, try adding turkey bacon, sausage, or turkey lunchmeat.
It is fairly high in protein! There's 1-2 eggs which each have 6 grams of protein plus the ham. You can find full nutrition facts in the recipe card below.
STORING AND REHEATING
