Crack 8 large whole eggs into a big blender or food processor.

Add 200 g of cottage cheese to the blender.

Add 40 g of gochujang and freshly ground black pepper to the blender.

Blend the mixture on high for about 30 seconds until frothy.

Prepare two meal prep containers for baking the egg mixture.

Distribute the egg mixture equally into the two containers.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Place the egg containers in the preheated oven and bake for 17 to 20 minutes.

While the eggs are baking, prepare the sausage by mixing 600 g of ground meat with a strong pinch of salt, 2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp onion powder, and 2 tsp paprika.

Roll the seasoned meat into 8 equal meatballs, each weighing 75 g.

Take out 8 English muffins, weighing 50 g each, and place them cut side up on a baking sheet.

After the eggs are done baking, place the baking sheet with the muffins in the oven under the broiler for 2 minutes to brown them.

Optionally, spread 10 g of light mayonnaise on each muffin.

Release the baked egg mixture from the edges and cut it into 4 equal rectangles.

Place one rectangle of egg on top of each muffin half.

Prepare a large pan and add a bit of oil over medium heat.

Place 4 meatballs in the pan and gently press them flat to about half an inch thick.

Cook the patties for 2 minutes, then flip them and cover with a lid to cook through for another 2 minutes.

Remove the cooked patties from the pan and place one on each muffin with the egg.

Repeat the cooking process for the remaining 4 meatballs.

Let the assembled muffins cool for about 10 minutes before storing them.

Place 4 muffins in a Ziploc bag with space between each and store in the freezer or fridge.

To eat, microwave a muffin on medium to medium-low heat for 5 minutes to defrost.
