In this informal, step‑by‑step video, the host demonstrates how to assemble a high‑protein, fast‑prep breakfast reminiscent of a McGriddle, aimed at athletes who need quick fuel. Using Trader Joe’s frozen waffles and Eggwiches, the recipe walks through toasting the waffles, microwaving the Eggwiches wrapped in damp paper towels for precise 50‑second intervals, flipping them, and then stacking the cooked egg‑sandwiches between the toasted waffles. The host notes optional double‑stacking for a larger portion and recommends grabbing a banana for additional carbs and color. The entire process is presented as a 4‑minute solution for athletes on the go.

Let's make a sausage meat griddle for athletes. And the best part, you can do this in like 4 minutes. All right, athletes, so this recipe is very complicated, so please buckle up with me. First, I need you to open this waffle box from Trader Joe's and put the waffles into the toaster. Now to work a toaster, you gotta push this lever down and then you just wait till they pop up. Second, you're gonna open this Eggwich box, again from Trader Joe's. Pull both of these out 'cause you need both. You need a lot of protein in your life. Open these up, get 2 damp paper towels, wrap the eggwiches in the damp paper towels like so. Third, throw them in the microwave for 50 whole seconds. Then flip these sandwiches over and do another 50 seconds. Take them out of the microwave without burning your hands. Probably wanna let them cool for a minute or so. But after they're cool, take these out, put the eggs in there. If you wanna do a double stacker and have that thing be massive, totally you can do that. Or you could eat this one separately. And you've got your breakfast ready to roll. Grab a banana while you're running out the door 'cause you need more color in your life.
