Ingredients

  • 6 large Eggs
  • 6 English Muffins
  • Salted Butter
  • 6-12 slices of either Ham Bacon, or 6 Sausage patties
  • 6 slices Cheese
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a generous amount of cooking spray into a muffin tin.
  • Crack one egg into each muffin cup. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake the eggs for 12 minutes. If wanting a more runny yolk, take out of the oven at 10 minutes. For more hard boiled keep baking for up to 15.
  • While the eggs are baking, separate the english muffins and place the halves on a baking tray, cut side up.
  • Heat or cook your breakfast meat of choice and set aside.
  • Once the eggs are done cooking, remove from the oven and set the temperature to 400 degrees.
  • Place the english muffins in the oven and let them toast for roughly 5 minutes. Keep a close eye on them and remove as soon as they start to brown.
  • Generously brush butter over the toasted english muffins.
  • Remove the eggs, one at a time, from the pan by gently running a knife around the edges.
  • Assemble each sandwich by placing one egg on the bottom half of the English Muffin, add one or two pieces of your breakfast meat on top of the egg, top with a slice of cheese and the top half of the English Muffin.
  • Serve immediately, or allow to cool for freezing.

  • How to Freeze English Muffins
  • Once the egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches have cooled, wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
  • Place the sandwiches in a gallon sized zip top bag and place in the refrigerator or freezer.

  • How to Reheat Frozen breakfast Sandwiches

Method 1:

  • Start by removing the plastic wrap and wrap the sandwich in a damp paper towel.
  • Microwave for 1 minute.
  • Flip the sandwich over and microwave for 30 seconds- 1 minute until warmed through.

Method 2:

  • Remove the sandwich from the freeze and place in the refrigerator the night before.
  • Remove the plastic wrap when ready to heat.
  • Microwave for 1 minute and enjoy.

Notes

  • This make ahead sausage egg muffins will last up to five days wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator.
  • And I did mention, these are freezer friendly breakfast sandwiches! They last up to two months stored in the freezer.
  • Topping your sandwiches with bacon? Try baking bacon in the oven for an effortless way to prep.
  • I use plastic wrap for my sandwiches, but you could also opt for parchment paper. Parchment paper is microwave and oven safe, so you would not have to remove it before heating your sandwiches.
