Ingredients
  

Freezer breakfast sandwiches base
  • 12 English muffins Split and ready for assembling
  • 12 eggs Crack one into each muffin tin cup
  • 12 breakfast sausage patties Use bacon slices if preferred; cook fully per package
  • 12 American or cheddar cheese slices One slice per sandwich
  • 0.5 tsp salt Season eggs to taste
  • 0.25 tsp pepper Season eggs to taste
  • 1 tbsp butter For cooking eggs (or to lightly grease if needed)
  • 1 cooking spray For greasing muffin tin and helping eggs release

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 muffin tin

Method
 

Cook the sausage
  1. Cook the breakfast sausage patties according to package directions, then set aside so they’re ready to assemble.
Bake the eggs in a muffin tin
  1. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray and crack one egg into each cup, breaking yolks if desired.
  2. Season the eggs with salt and pepper, then bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes until set.
Toast and assemble
  1. Toast the English muffins lightly so they hold up during freezing.
  2. Assemble sandwiches with muffin bottom, egg, sausage patty, cheese slice, and muffin top.
Wrap and freeze
  1. Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap, then place them in freezer bags for freezing.
  2. Freeze for up to 3 months; to reheat, unwrap and microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated through.

Notes

Pro tip: Let the baked egg cups cool 5 minutes before stacking to prevent steam from making the muffins soggy. Store wrapped sandwiches in the freezer up to 3 months; refrigerating is not recommended for best texture. Freezer yes, freezer-safe reheating is microwave-only for convenience. For a dairy swap, use reduced-fat cheddar or American-style cheese slices if preferred.
