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.

• 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:
