Freezer breakfast sandwiches
The breakfast sandwich has deep roots in the United States reaching as far back as the Civil War. If you ask me, a sandwich that has a history that long is a sandwich worth keeping around. There are as many variations of breakfast sandwich as you can think of, and this recipe sticks to the classic formation. English muffin, eggs, cheese, and meat - you can't go wrong!
Now you could always venture out to your local breakfast joint and pick up a breakfast sandwich, but this recipe is going to be healthier and much cheaper! With just a few ingredients, you'll have 12 breakfast sandwiches ready to go for the week or even longer if stored in your freezer.

How to make freezer breakfast sandwiches
- Gather all ingredients for this recipe and preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

- Place a slice of cheese on top.
- Add the other half of the English muffin.
- Wrap each sandwich individually in tin foil or parchment paper. Place the wrapped muffins in a sealed reusable bag and place in the freezer.
- To reheat the frozen breakfast sandwiches:
- In Microwave: Thaw in the fridge overnight. Wrap in a paper towel and place in the microwave for 1 minute. Flip and heat on other side for 30 seconds. If still frozen, cook for another 30 seconds until warmed all the way through.
- In Oven or Toaster Oven: Thaw in the fridge overnight. Place in the oven at 350 for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed all the way through.

We have been making these sandwiches on REPEAT! My little girls LOVE them and we've found a nutritious alternative to their prior sugary breakfast! Thank you, Jordan for this recipe!

LOVE these! These made breakfast so easy this past week. I threw my sandwiches wrapped in parchment right in the air fryer (flap down so the paper didn’t fly inside) and they came out so crisp and cheesy. Yum! Hubby loved them too!
My eggs did fall apart a little when I ate them so I’m going to try a little less milk the next time I make them. And I learned that pouring the mixture into the pan while it’s already in the oven was the easiest way to not spill!
Definitely a game changer for meal prep! I plan to keep these in the freezer for emergencies!

Any tips for preventing the cheese from becoming a puddle? Every time I heat, thawed or from frozen, the cheese pretty much turns to liquid.

Hi Kelly. Hmmm, I'm wondering if you're reheating too long? What method of reheating have you been doing and for how long? What kind of cheese have you been using?

These sandwiches are perfect for meal prep and delicious! I used sausage and pepper Jack cheese with whole grain muffins and 🙌🏼🙌🏼 can’t wait to see how they reheat! I did end up with too much egg 🤔 but delicious all the same!

I'm so glad the sandwiches turned out for you! You could totally double the egg for a little more next time. This recipe totally works for all accommodations!
