I recently tried a recipe that completely changed my breakfast game. Picture a savory egg patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon and hearty sausage tucked between golden toasted muffins. These Easy Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches offer a convenient solution for busy mornings and the perfect balance of textures and flavors indeed.
I’ve been messing around in my kitchen trying to sort out an easier morning routine and stumbled upon these Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches. They’re designed for those of us who like a solid breakfast without all the fuss in the morning.
In my experiments, I used 12 english muffins, split in half, and filled each with a perfectly scrambled large egg mixed with a splash of 1/4 cup milk. Add to that a slice of cheddar cheese, a crispy bacon slice, and a fully cooked sausage patty and you’ve got a sandwich that really packs a punch.
I season mine with a pinch of salt and pepper and use a dab of butter to grease the pan. They’re a total game changer for quick healthy breakfast meal prep.
Trust me, once you try these freezer friendly meals, you’ll wonder how you ever skipped breakfast in a rush before.
Why I Like this Recipe
I like this recipe because it has a perfect mix of classic breakfast flavors that really kickstart my day. The combination of crispy bacon, savory sausage, and melty cheese with a fluffy egg patty makes every bite satisfying. I also love that it’s super easy to make and can be prepped in advance for busy mornings, so I dont have to scramble for breakfast. Plus, being able to freeze them individually means I always have a quick meal on hand when I need it.
Ingredients
- English muffins: provide carbohydrates for energy, while adding a slightly chewy crust thats toastable.
- Eggs: are protein-packed and rich in nutrients; they give creaminess and a robust flavor.
- Cheese: offers a melty, savory taste and adds extra protein as well as calcium.
- Bacon: crispy, smoky and fatty; it provides a crunch and bold flavor note but should be eaten in moderation.
- Sausage Patties: hearty and spiced, they contribute necessary protein and a satisfying taste in every bite.
Ingredient Quantities
- 12 english muffins, split in half
- 12 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 12 slices of cheddar or american cheese
- 12 slices of bacon, cooked until crispy
- 12 sausage patties, fully cooked
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
How to Make this
1. Start by splitting the 12 English muffins in half and set them aside.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the 12 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, salt and pepper.
3. Grease a pan with butter or oil and pour in enough egg mixture to make a round patty roughly the size of your English muffin half. Cook each side till the egg is set enough to flip.
4. While the eggs are cooking, warm up the 12 sausage patties and make sure the 12 bacon slices stay crispy.
5. Once an egg patty is done, place a slice of cheddar or American cheese on top so it melts a bit from the heat of the egg.
6. Take one half of the English muffin and layer on a bacon slice and then a sausage patty.
7. Carefully place the cheesy egg on top of the meat so that the cheese fully oozes on the sandwich.
8. Cap it off with the other half of the English muffin.
9. Repeat the process until all 12 sandwiches are assembled.
10. If you want to store them in the freezer, wrap each sandwich individually in foil and put them in a freezer bag. To reheat, microwave for about 1 minute or toast lightly in a pan until warm.
Equipment Needed
1. A large mixing bowl to whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper
2. A whisk for beating the egg mixture well
3. A knife to split the English muffins in half
4. A nonstick frying pan for cooking the egg patties and warming the meat
5. A spatula to flip the eggs and help transfer them onto the sandwich
6. A stove for heating up the pan
7. Aluminum foil and freezer bags if you are planning to freeze the sandwiches later
8. A microwave or a small pan if you need to reheat the sandwiches quickly later on
FAQ
Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches Recipe Substitutions and Variations
- If you dont have english muffins, try using bagels or pita bread instead
- If you’re out of regular milk, almond milk or another dairy free milk works fine
- Instead of bacon, you can use turkey bacon or even some lean ham slices
- For the sausage patties, veggie patties are a good swap if you want something lighter
- If cheddar or american cheese isn’t available, pepper jack cheese is a cool alternative
Pro Tips
1. When cooking the egg patties, try using a small round ring mould or even a cleaned tuna can so that each patty keeps its shape and cooks evenly. Sometimes without a guide they end up all wonky which messes up the look of the sandwich.
2. Save a bit of the bacon grease in the pan and use it to toast your English muffin halves a little bit. It really gives an extra hit of flavor that makes the whole sandwich more tasty.
3. To get the cheese melted perfectly on the egg, put a lid on your pan for just a minute. This trick helps the heat circulate and melts the cheese evenly without overcooking the egg.
4. If you plan on freezing the sandwiches, let them cool completely before wrapping. This helps avoid soggy bread when you reheat later in the microwave or on the stove.
