Description

These make ahead breakfast sandwiches are the perfect solution for busy mornings. Made with fried eggs, melty cheese, and your choice of bacon or sausage, all stacked on a toasted English muffin, they’re easy to prep, freezer-friendly, and reheat in minutes.


Ingredients

  • 6 English muffins, cut in half
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 slices of center cut bacon, cut in half
  • 3 sausage patties
  • 6 slices of cheese (I used Gouda)
  • Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
  • Butter or cooking spray (for greasing the pan)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon and Sausage:
    • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
    • In the same skillet, cook the sausage patties until fully cooked. Remove and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Eggs:
    • Heat a small non-stick pan or a pan with 4 egg rings over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
    • Crack an egg into each circle. Season with salt and pepper.
    • Cook until the whites are set and the yolk is cooked to your preference, about 3-4 minutes. If you prefer firmer yolks, flip the eggs and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. You can break the yolks in the egg rings.
    • Remove from the pan and let cool slightly.
  3. Assemble the Sandwiches:
    • Place the bottom half of each English muffin on a clean surface.
    • Place a slice of cheese on each muffin half.
    • For 3 sandwiches, top with a cooked egg and two halves of bacon.
    • For the other 3 sandwiches, top with a cooked egg and a sausage patty.
    • Cover with the top half of the English muffin.
  4. Wrap and Freeze:
    • Wrap each assembled sandwich in parchment paper.
    • Place the wrapped sandwiches in a large Ziploc bag or airtight container.
    • Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  5. Reheat and Enjoy:
    • To reheat, unwrap the sandwich from the parchment paper and wrap it in a paper towel.
    • Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through.
    • Alternatively, you can reheat in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for about 20 minutes, or until heated through.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, use whole wheat English muffins and turkey bacon or turkey sausage.
  • You can also add vegetables like spinach or bell peppers to the eggs for added nutrition.
  • If you prefer crispier bread pre-toast your English Muffins before assembling your sandwiches.
