Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 6 English muffins
- 6 eggs
- 6 slices of cheese
- 6 slices of cooked bacon or sausage
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 6 English muffins, 6 eggs, 6 slices of cheese (your choice of cheddar, American, or Swiss), 6 slices of cooked bacon or sausage, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the assembled sandwiches later.
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon or sausage over medium heat until crispy. If using bacon, it typically takes about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the meat to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low. Crack the eggs into the skillet, one at a time, and season with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes. For firmer yolks, cook for an additional minute. If you prefer scrambled eggs, beat the eggs in a bowl before adding them to the skillet and cook until fluffy.
- While the eggs are cooking, split the English muffins in half and place them on a baking sheet, cut side up. Toast them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until they are lightly golden.
- Once the eggs are cooked, remove the English muffins from the oven. On the bottom half of each muffin, layer a slice of cheese, followed by a slice of bacon or sausage, and then top with a cooked egg. Finish by placing the other half of the muffin on top.
- Wrap each assembled sandwich in foil to keep them fresh for freezing. You can also place them in a freezer-safe bag or container if you prefer.
- To freeze, place the wrapped sandwiches in the freezer. They can be stored for up to 3 months.
- When you are ready to enjoy a sandwich, remove it from the freezer and unwrap it. You can either microwave it for about 1-2 minutes until heated through or bake it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes until warm.
- Serve your easy freezer breakfast sandwiches hot and enjoy a delicious, homemade breakfast any day of the week!
Tips
- Ingredient Variations: Feel free to customize your sandwiches! Swap out the bacon for turkey bacon or use a veggie sausage for a meatless option. You can also experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack for a spicy kick.
- Egg Cooking Preference: If you love runny yolks, cook the eggs just until the whites are set. For a heartier bite, scramble the eggs beforehand, ensuring they’re fluffy and fully cooked.
- Perfect Toasting: To achieve the perfect toasted English muffin, keep an eye on them in the oven. You want them golden brown, not too crispy, so they hold up well when frozen.
- Freezing Tips: For best results, wrap each sandwich tightly in foil to prevent freezer burn. If using freezer bags, try to remove as much air as possible before sealing.
- Reheating Techniques: When reheating, microwaving is quick, but baking can help maintain that just-made texture. If you have time, bake the sandwich for a better crust and flavor.
- Batch Cooking: Consider making a double batch! These sandwiches freeze well for up to 3 months, making them a great option for meal prep.
- Add Fresh Veggies: For a nutritional boost, add spinach or sliced tomatoes to your sandwiches before wrapping them for freezing. They’ll add flavor and freshness when reheated. With these tips, you’ll be a breakfast sandwich pro in no time! Enjoy your homemade creations any day of the week!
