These freezer breakfast sandwiches are my secret weapon for busy mornings when time is tight but I still want a delicious meal to start the day.
I made these on a Sunday once to save time during my hectic workweek and now we always have a stash in the freezer ready to go.
Ingredients
- Eggs: provide the protein base for filling sandwiches choose large eggs for better volume and texture
- Bacon or sausage: adds savory flavor and a satisfying bite buy quality meat for best taste
- Cheddar or American cheese: melts nicely for creaminess pick slices that are fresh with good color
- Whole grain English muffins: give a sturdy yet soft bread option select muffins with visible grains for extra fiber
Instructions
- Preheat And Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit or one seventy five Celsius. Lightly grease a muffin tin so the eggs do not stick this step ensures easy removal and keeps the recipe flowing smoothly
- Whisk Eggs:
- In a bowl whisk eight large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until blended. This mixes the eggs evenly creating a fluffy texture when baked
- Cook Protein:
- In a skillet cook four slices of bacon or sausage patties until crispy and browned. Crispy meat adds flavor and contrast to the soft eggs
- Bake Eggs:
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into the greased muffin cups filling about three quarters full. Bake in the oven for fifteen to eighteen minutes until the eggs are fully set but still moist. Let them cool for a few minutes before assembling

- Split four whole grain English muffins and toast lightly if you like for extra texture. Layer each muffin bottom with one baked egg round crispy bacon or sausage and a slice of cheese then top with the muffin lid
- Wrap And Freeze:
- Wrap each sandwich tightly in foil or plastic wrap making sure it is sealed well. Store in the freezer so you can grab one anytime for a quick breakfast that tastes homemade
My favorite part is the crispy bacon which adds a wonderful smoky crunch I remember making these early Sunday mornings with my family and sharing warm sandwiches with everyone before heading out the door
