In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites.
Melt butter in a small non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the egg mixture.
As the eggs cook, gently push them from the edges toward the center to create soft curds, forming an omelet-like patty.
Season the eggs with salt. Once mostly set, fold the egg patty in half, then cut it down the middle to create two pieces that can be stacked.
Remove the cooked egg patty from the pan and set aside. Repeat this process for all remaining sandwiches.
To assemble, place the stacked egg patty on the bottom half of an English muffin. Top with a slice of gouda cheese and 2-3 cooked chicken sausage links.
Place the top half of the English muffin on the sandwich.

Yes. Canadian bacon, turkey sausage, or a cooked breakfast patty work well and keep protein content similar.
The combination boosts protein while the whole eggs add richness and flavor. You can use all whole eggs if preferred, though protein content will shift slightly.
Skip the Gouda or replace it with a dairy-free cheese alternative to keep the sandwich dairy-free.
