Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches Recipe

Introduction

Freezer breakfast sandwiches are a perfect solution for busy mornings. They’re easy to make in large batches, customizable with your favorite meats and cheeses, and can be reheated quickly for a hot, satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

• 12 eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 12 slices cooked bacon, sausage patties, ham, or Canadian bacon
• 12 English muffins
• 12 slices cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and generously grease a 9×13-inch pan.
2. Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Using an electric mixer can make this easier.
3. Step 3: Pour the egg mixture into the greased pan and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the center is just set. Avoid overcooking to keep the eggs tender.
4. Step 4: Remove the pan from the oven and let the eggs cool completely before cutting into 12 equal squares.
5. Step 5: Split the English muffins and layer each bottom half with an egg square, a slice of cheese, cooked meat of choice, then top with the other muffin half.
6. Step 6: If eating immediately, heat the sandwiches in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.
7. Step 7: To freeze, wrap each sandwich individually in tinfoil, wax paper, or parchment paper, then place them in a freezer-safe resealable bag. Freeze for up to 1 month.
8. Step 8: To reheat, thaw sandwiches in the fridge overnight. Remove wrapping and wrap in a paper towel. Microwave on defrost or 50% power for 40 seconds to 1 minute, then flip and microwave on high for 10-30 seconds until warmed through.
9. Step 9: Alternatively, reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-15 minutes or use a toaster oven.

Tips & Variations

• Mix diced bell peppers or spinach into the egg mixture before baking for added flavor and nutrition.
• Use different cheeses like pepper jack or Swiss to change the flavor profile.
• Substitute English muffins with bagels or croissants for variety.
• Make a vegetarian version by skipping meat and adding avocado or tomato slices.
• To prevent sogginess, toast the English muffins lightly before assembling.

Storage

Store the wrapped sandwiches in a freezer-safe resealable bag for up to 1 month. For best texture, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. You can reheat in the microwave for quick meals or use an oven/toaster oven for a crispier finish.

FAQs

Can I use egg whites instead of whole eggs?

Yes, you can substitute whole eggs with egg whites for a lower-fat option. Keep in mind that the texture may be slightly different, and you might want to add a bit more seasoning.

How long can I keep these sandwiches in the freezer?

For optimal taste and texture, consume the sandwiches within 1 month. They will remain safe to eat beyond that but may lose quality.

Egg Mixture

• 12 eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Meat

• 12 slices cooked bacon, sausage patties, ham, or Canadian bacon

Other

• 12 English muffins
• 12 slices cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and generously grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare Egg Mixture: Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and freshly ground black pepper using an electric mixer or whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
3. Bake Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the greased pan evenly and bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the center is just set but not overcooked to maintain fluffiness.
4. Cool and Cut: Remove the baked eggs from the oven and allow them to cool completely before cutting into 12 equal squares to fit your English muffins.
5. Assemble Sandwiches: Split each English muffin in half and layer one piece of baked egg, one slice of cheese, and one slice of your chosen cooked meat on the bottom half. Top with the other muffin half.
6. Optional Immediate Heating: If eating right away, place assembled sandwiches in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and sandwiches are warmed through.
7. Freeze Sandwiches: To freeze, wrap each sandwich individually in tinfoil, wax paper, or parchment paper and place all parties into a freezer-safe resealable bag. Freeze for up to 1 month.
8. Reheating from Frozen: For best results, thaw sandwiches overnight in the refrigerator. Remove wrapping and rewrap in a paper towel, then microwave on defrost (50% power) for 40 seconds to 1 minute. Flip and microwave an additional 10-30 seconds on high until heated through.
9. Alternative Reheating: You can also reheat sandwiches in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven or toaster oven for 10-15 minutes until warmed and cheese is melted.

Notes

• Use your preferred cooked breakfast meat such as bacon, sausage patties, ham, or Canadian bacon to customize your sandwich.
• Do not overbake the eggs; they should be just set to keep them fluffy and moist.
• For easier assembling and reheating, cool the baked egg fully before cutting.
• Freeze sandwiches wrapped tightly to prevent freezer burn and maintain freshness.
• Microwave reheating times may vary depending on your appliance; adjust as necessary to avoid overheating.
• Choose any cheese slice you like, though cheddar melts well and adds great flavor.
