How to Make this

Print Recipe (No Advertisments)

1. Start by cooking the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until its nice and crispy, then set it aside on some paper towels to drain.

2. In the same skillet, cook the sausage patties until they’re evenly browned on both sides. Once cooked, remove them and keep them aside.

3. Lower the heat a bit and add the butter to the skillet, then crack in the eggs into a bowl, whisk in the 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and pour the mixture into the pan to scramble until they’re just set.

4. While the eggs are cooking, split your English muffins and toast them lightly either in a toaster or in a clean pan.

5. Once all the ingredients are ready, start building your sandwich by placing one sausage patty on the bottom half of each toasted muffin.

6. Next, add a slice of the crispy bacon and spoon a generous amount of the scrambled eggs on top of the sausage.

7. Place one slice of American cheese over the eggs so it begins to melt from the warmth.

8. Put the top half of the English muffin on and press down slightly so everything stays in place.

9. Let the sandwiches cool completely on a wire rack to prevent any sogginess when freezing.

10. Wrap each sandwich individually in foil or plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. When you want to eat one, reheat it in the microwave for about 60-90 seconds until it’s heated through. Enjoy your breakfast!

FAQ

What are Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches? They are make-ahead sandwiches that you can freeze and enjoy later. They combine English muffins, eggs, bacon, sausage patties, and American cheese so you just heat 'em up for a quick breakfast.

How long will they last in the freezer? They can keep well for up to 2-3 months if you wrap them tightly so they dont get freezer burn.

How do I reheat these sandwiches? You can microwave them straight from the freezer for about 90 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave, or pop them in a conventional oven if you prefer a crispier bite.

Can I swap out bacon or sausage? Yup, you can totally use ham, turkey bacon, or even veggie patties if you want to mix it up a bit!

Do I need to let the eggs cool before freezing? Yes, letting the eggs cool a bit helps keep the sandwich from getting soggy when reheating later.

Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches Recipe Substitutions and Variations

For the English muffins, you could use bagel halves or even toasted sourdough if you want a different bite.
If bacon ain’t your thing, try turkey bacon or even thinly sliced ham instead.
You can swap sausage patties with chicken sausage or some seasoned ground turkey, which is a leaner option.
America cheese can be switched out with cheddar or provolone cheese for a slightly different flavor kick.
If you’re out of butter, a splash of olive oil works great for cooking, even though it changes the taste a bit.

Pro Tips

1. Make sure you cook your bacon and sausage in a way that they dont overcrowd the pan; this helps them get nice and crispy without stewing in their own fat.

2. When scrambling your eggs, keep the heat low so they dont overcook and turn rubbery. Stir them gently and take them off the heat just before they fully set.

3. Toast your English muffins until they just start to get a little crunch, then let them cool on a rack so they dont get soggy when you put all the hot ingredients on them.

4. If youre freezing the sandwiches, wrapping each one individually in foil or plastic wrap is key so you can pop just one in the microwave later without ruining the rest.
