Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches (VIDEO)
Make-Ahead Freezer Breakfast sandwiches are a hearty and satisfying breakfast for early working days and school mornings. They are also ideal for camping trips! This recipe comes together fast and is easy to scale up or down.
Homemade breakfast sandwiches are so much better than fast food egg mcmuffins! On more relaxed mornings, we typically make individual breakfast sandwiches or these fresh open-faced Avocado Spread Sandwiches. You’ll want to keep this make-ahead tutorial for busy mornings or to feed a crowd.

Make-Ahead Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches:
Freezer-friendly breakfast sandwiches are the best way to batch cook and meal prep for breakfast. My sister-in-law Inna gave me this helpful make-ahead breakfast idea. Prepping the English muffins and the eggs all at once is fast and couldn’t be easier. We wrap in plastic wrap and they keep really well in a freezer-safe bag.
Baking the eggs in a single casserole dish is brilliant. They puff up like a souffle and the egg patties taste like the best scrambled eggs; soft, fluffy, moist and have great flavor with the shredded cheese mixed in. You can cut the eggs into 6 equal squares or use this round cookie cutter for a prettier look (plus you’ll get to eat the remaining egg in the pan)!
Can I substitute the Ham?
We prefer ham for breakfast sandwiches since it reheats really well, but you can use your favorite deli meat like Canadian bacon, turkey or chicken. You can also use cooked strips of bacon, or breakfast sausage patties (try the homemade patties in our guacamole brunch sandwiches).
How to Reheat Breakfast Sandwiches:
Reheat from frozen: remove plastic wrap, place sandwich on a paper towel and microwave for 3 minutes, turning halfway, or warm until heated through.
Reheat from thawed: thaw overnight in the refrigerator, remove plastic wrap, and place sandwich on paper towel-lined plate and microwave 1 minute or just until hot. To reheat in the air fryer, thaw overnight then heat at 350˚F for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
To reheat for camping – thaw sandwich and keep it tightly wrapped in heavy-duty aluminum foil and place onto a grill or over a campfire. Thick/heavy-duty aluminum foil is best so the muffin doesn’t burn before it has a chance to heat through (3-5 minutes, depending on the temperature of the grill).
Breakfast Sandwich Add-Ins:
We love adding something fresh to the sandwich when serving. A fresh ingredient like salad greens, avocado or your favorite sauce is a chef’s secret to making something taste like it was freshly cooked. Serve breakfast sandwiches with:
- Mayonnaise
- Guacamole
- Sriracha or Tabasco hot sauce
- Avocado, sliced
- Fresh Spinach leaves
- Tomato, freshly sliced
More Make-Ahead Breakfast Ideas:
These are our most popular breakfast ideas that can be made-ahead:
- Cheese Crepes – also known as “blintzes” or “nalesniki”
- Banana Bread – it stays soft and moist for days
- Breakfast Egg Muffins – freezer-friendly & great for meal prep
- Overnight Cinnamon Rolls – do all your prep ahead and enjoy them in the morning
- Breakfast Burritos – enjoy them fresh or freeze for later

Make-Ahead Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 8 eggs, (large)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 Tbsp sour cream, or plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp sea salt, or to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded or your favorite cheese
- 6 English muffins
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, plus more to grease the pan
- 4 oz Monterey Jack Cheese, (6 slices) or your favorite cheese
- 8 oz Black Forest Ham, (12 slices) or your favorite deli meat
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 8 eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1 Tbsp sour cream, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper and whisk thoroughly. Stir in 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Pour mixture into buttered 9x13 casserole and bake at 350˚F for 18-20 minutes or until fluffy and not wet on top when poked with your fingertips. Remove from the oven cool 10-15 min in the pan then cut into 6 equal squares or use a large round cookie cutter to cut out 6 circles.
- Set the oven to broil on high heat. Cut English muffins into halves and butter the cut side and place cut side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil in the center of the oven for 2-4 minutes or until the tops are golden and lightly crisp. Remove from the oven and lightly cool while preparing toppings.
- Assemble the breakfast sandwiches with the bottom bun first, then the egg, followed by a slice of cheese, 2 slices of ham and finally the top bun.
- Wrap tightly in plastic wrap (or in aluminum foil if using for camping) then place in a large freezer-safe ziploc bag and refrigerate up to 1 week or freeze up to 2 months.
Notes
*From frozen: remove plastic wrap, place on a paper towel and microwave 3 min on high, (turning halfway) or until warmed through.
*From thawed: thaw overnight in refrigerator, remove plastic wrap, and microwave on paper towel-lined plate 1 min or just until hot.
*For camping - thaw sandwich, keep tightly wrapped in heavy-duty aluminum foil and place onto grill or over campfire for 3-5 min.

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
I followed the instructions but once frozen, they became all but inedible. After the microwave the English muffin is so tough you can’t bite it, the egg is chewy, and it all looks highly unappetizing. They were plastic wrapped and freezer bagged with the air pressed out. Just take 5 minutes and make a fresh breakfast sandwich.
Hi Stacey, you might need to reduce the power on your microwave. Also, wrapping in a paper towel helps. I agree that fresh is always best but this is a good option for those who don’t have time to cook a fresh homemade breakfast every morning.
Hi Natasha! I was wondering if they can be heated in air fryer instead on toast mode? Have you tried?
Thanks
Hi Elena! Yes, see my note above on “how to reheat” for air fryer instructions.
This is a total do again! We’ve been buying breakfast sandwiches, but these are a lot better. We used Colby/Monterey jack and Canadian bacon. We did a couple with regular bacon but those didn’t make it to the freezer. This is a total do-again. Question: what is the purpose of the sour cream/yoghurt? Is it just flavor or something more technical? We love your videos and recipes. Thank you for sharing this 🙂
Hi Nick! I’m so glad to hear they were a hit. The sour cream/yogurt makes the eggs creamy and adds a little more body.
Natasha,
My kids love the sausage patties too, if I were making these to freeze would I just add a frozen unthawed sausage Pattie to the sandwich and then wrap and freeze?
Thank you
Hi Amanda! Yes, you can add a cooked sausage patty to the sandwich prior to freezing.
I made these following the recipe, my husband could not quit raving. Because I wanted to serve immediately, after the sandwiches were assembled I placed back in warm over (turned off) just long enough to melt the cheese. WINNER!
Awesome! Thanks so much for your good comments and feedback, Patty.
I’m impressed that the eggs froze well. Might try the breakfast sandwiches.
Off topic. Love your sponge cake recipe.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
These are very good. I am a single and make 6 for the week. I use Jimmy Dean hot bulk sausage and cook into 6 patties. I also butter and broil my EMs before assembling and freezing. Delicious and easy to know I can throw one in overnight and reheat quickly in the morning. Saves me ~$3/sandwich from Starbucks and more from elsewhere. I would think for those with children these are an answered prayer. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi Emma! You’re very welcome. Thank you for the feedback.
I cut the recipe in half and cooked in a 8×8 pan for 12 minutes. I added sharp cheddar and they turned out perfect! I cut into 9 squares to eat on mini bagels. Super good!
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Jessica!
This make-ahead sandwich inspired me to sign up with your web site. The recipe came out great although I forgot to add the mozzarella until the dish had cooked for a few minutes, but it not an issue. I had no ham and used Canadian bacon, but that worked well.
Hi Dennis! Thank you for subscribing! 🙂
I kind of liked your Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches. I modified this recipe because I don’t like ham and my husband can not eat pork products. For me and my sister I used pork sausage patties and for my husband I made turkey sausage patties and we love it this way.
I’m glad you found a modification that you enjoy. Thanks for sharing.
I cannot keep these in my house. I’ve made them twice and they’re all gone in just a couple days. Most delish breakfast sandwich I’ve had. So much better than the fast food version. Next time I’m gonna saute a little bit of peppers and onions and add them to the egg mixture
Sounds amazing, Tabatha! So glad they are a hit! 🙂
I doubled the egg recipe and sliced my eggs into slivers (8 across and in half lengthwise) once they cooled. I used these to make breakfast wraps. This was SO much easier than scrambling the eggs! I just did bacon, egg, and cheese. So simple. Thanks so much for the idea to bake my eggs instead!
It’s my pleasure to share it and I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Wondering if anyone has tried taking them out of the freezer/thawing and heating in the oven in tin foil? How long would they be reheated?
Taking them out of the freezer and immediately heating in the oven, all wrapped in tin foil?
Hi Janet, We have a section with answers for both of those questions in the recipe. See the “How to Reheat Breakfast Sandwiches:” section. I hope this helps!
Janet, we found – for us – that wrapping them in foil instead of plastic wrap and thawing them overnight in the freezer was perfect. The muffins did not get tough like popping them into the microwave did. We removed the foil and reheated in our toaster oven for about 15 minutes.
What if I don’t have sour cream or yogurt? Will it make a difference if I use without? 🤔
Hi Cindy, I haven’t tried this recipe without sour cream or yogurt so I’m not sure how it will go.
If I could give this 10 stars, I would. I made homemade sausage patties and used sharp cheddar cheese- we are licking our fingers this morning and wondering if it’s okay to eat 2 breakfast sandwiches in one sitting lol. The baked eggs are genius for those who don’t like the “eggy” taste. Thanks so much for such an amazing recipe!
You’re very welcome, Lena! I’m so glad you loved it.
I made them, as instructed, the first time but found the egg squares were too large for my english muffins. So the second time I used some ramekins, that were the same size as my english muffins, and then added the ham in the last 10 mins of baking and they were amazing! Perfectly cooked and perfect fit! Delicious recipe to have waiting in the freezer for those “I need to make something quick” days ! Thanks Natasha 💜💜💜
Hi Nadine! Thank you for the feedback and review. I’m so glad you enjoy this recipe. The freezer options makes this so much more wonderful.
what wattage microwave is the reheat instructions based off of?
Hi Chris, it is a standard 1200 watt microwave. I hope you love the breakfast sandwiches.
These were delicious! mine made 8 squares and they were amazing from fresh or in the fridge. My daughter (who I also made some for) tried from frozen and it wasn’t great so she highly recommends defrosting in fridge night before
Thanks for the tip, Leslie. We appreciate your good comments and feedback!
I am going to make these right now and freeze them for camping for this next week. Easy-peasy breakfast Yummy!
Sounds like a plan, enjoy!
I have found that once they have cooled, put on a lined baking sheet and flash freeze. Then wrap and place in the freezer. When you reheat them in the microwave they taste like they were just made.
Thank you for sharing, Debby!
I am going to try this recipe. but I am wondering if I can not put on a muffin and just freeze as is. Then toast an English muffin separately when I am going to eat it and add the micro the egg mixture then?
Hi Art! I think that could work, you may need to use parchment paper to keep them from sticking together.
new to your website. Love it! Have made your shrimp tacos. Outstanding! Can’t wait to try more
Yay, thanks, Dorothy. I hope you’ll love all the recipes that you will try.
I am preparing these for a friend who just had heart surgery and they are nice and easy for her to heat up for breakfast! Love your recipes, I have made so many of them and I always enjoy them. Thank you.
Thank you, Sylvie! So glad you enjoy my recipes.
This recipe is perfect! Making the eggs in a 9×13 pan and then cutting them into squares is genius. These sandwiches reheat beautifully.
Thank you for the perfect feedback!
I make these every other week for my family now! They are so easy and so delicious.
Quick question – If I were to use brown n serve sausage instead of ham should I cook the sausage first?
Thank you for a great recipe!
Good to hear that, Emily. Yes, that sounds good, you can cook the sausage first just to be sure that it’s cooked.
These came together really quickly. I added a couple of drops of Louisiana hot sauce to the egg mixture and built the sandwiches using ready-cooked bacon and cheddar cheese with hatch chilis. Delicious!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us, Elizabeth!
can use bacon to , yum yum im doing this, note : of course cook the bacon first.
This is the recipe I have been waiting for. The egg part is genius (and delicious). There are so many ways to put these together. The fillings would be yummy between two pancakes or waffles. Vary the cheese, vary the meat. Whatever you like. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
That is so true, the recipe is so versatile. Thanks for sharing your good comments and feedback with us!
I made these for my husband yesterday, I made 18 and he ate 3 last night and 3 today at this rate wont have any in the freezer for long. Your recipes are excellent and i enjoy trying them all!
So glad he enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing that with us, Susan.
Easy and fun to do! I just took the rest of the cut out egg and just tucked it under the round cut out part of the egg (what I didn’t wolf down that is!). Used ham, turkey, different cheeses. Yum!
That’s good, glad you loved it!
I’ve tried a variety of breakfast freezer foods, from burritos to sandwiches. This is the ONLY breakfast sandwich that I like and reheats well without getting rubbery/tasting off! Highly recommend!
Love it! Thank you for your great comments and review, Stephanie. Glad you enjoyed this recipe!
I am just now making these for the third time. They are our go to for camping in our trailer. I happened to have a circular biscuit cutter the exact size of the muffins so after I cut the meat, eggs, and cheese they assemble to fit exactly together. I use bulk sausage rolled between two sheets of parchment and cook at the same time as the eggs. We have also used bacon and ham all with equally wonderful results. Thanks for this recipe!
Thanks for your great review, Karen. I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe that you’ve been made it 3 times already.
my kids love these for school lunches, but when I cook the egg the top is firm. I have a fan force oven, but the switch for the fan is broken, could that be the problem and how could I fix it?
Hi Steven, That could definitely be a culprit, especially if you see the same issue with other baked goods.
I made the english muffin breakfast sandwiches and froze them. They were perfect. I am going to try the quesadillas next. I will definitely make the English muffins again. Thank you for all your great receipes.
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Sandra!!
These are fantastic! I made them and took them to the cabin. So good! I was worried the English Muffin would get soggy or the eggs rubbery when reheated, but they were perfect! This will become a cabin tradition. Exceeded my expectations!
So great to hear that you loved this recipe, Jennifer. Thank you for your awesome feedback!
This was excellent! I used leftover ham we had from a holiday and it was a great way to use up those last leftovers. Easy, delicious and more affordable than other freezer versions.
I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe, Brittney. Thank you for sharing your great review with us!
Hi! I absolutely hate sour cream and I’m scared I will taste it so I was wondering can you ditch it? I saw you put plain Greek yogurt. Is this to moisten the eggs? Will they be too dry if you skip this?
Hi Savannah, plain Greek yogurt can be a good substitute. I haven’t tried this recipe without sour cream so I’m not sure how it will go.
Thanks for the recipe. Made a bunch for upcoming ski trip.
You’re welcome Patricia, sounds great, and enjoy! Stay safe.
YUMM-O! So I changed it up just a little. I added garlic powder, & dill weed and then I put diced ham right into the egg (I didn’t have sliced ham). When toasting the muffins, I buttered them with garlic/parmesan butter as it was all I had. The result is a garlic-y, ham & cheese sandwich. SO good! Thanks for this recipe!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Sherene!
I was hoping this sandwich was as great as the reviews but I don’t know what it is but it taste funky. like I can’t get rid of the taste and I think it’s sour cream in the eggs….
Hi Sumara, just 1 Tbsp of sour cream for 8 eggs, you normally shouldn’t taste the sour cream, but it does make the eggs moister. I’m always happy to troubleshoot – I wonder if there was too much sour cream used or maybe the eggs were overbaked?
Thank you for another wonderful idea! I’m not well – so some days it’s all I can do to get up and take my morning meds and then I go back to bed. BUT – I need to eat – especially with the meds. This is helpful!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! I hope you’re better soon, Pam.
Hi Natasha,
What size cookie cutter you used in the video to cut the egg? “3 or “3.5? Thanks!!!
Hello Nina, I used this Cookie Cutter from my Amazon Affiliate Shop.
can you freeze with avocado, tomato, or spinach already added to the muffin? I like the idea of fresh ingredients.
Hello Jodie, I wouldn’t recommend freezing the sandwiches with those ingredients you mentioned. It would be best to just add those when you’re ready to consume this.
Hi
I love your video’s and recipe’s btw. I just started weight watchers and this would be perfect to make sure I eat breakfast. Wondered if I could use Jenny O turkey bacon. And if so would I not cook it if it’s thawed. Jenny O turkey bacon cooks pretty fast in the microwave so I’m thinking just put it on the sandwich as is and when I reheat it it would cook then. what do you think? Also could I use egg whites instead of the whole egg?
Hello Jennifer, I imagine that should be alright too. This recipe is very flexible and you can swap or change the ingredients according to your preference.
Oh my gosh these are insane! I make them every single week. I mix it up all the time- I use bagel thins, croissants and English muffins. I add cooked breakfast sausage to the egg mixture sometimes, and I’ve also add chopped, cooked bacon. The favorite though, remains the traditional ham and cheese. They are so easy and so delicious and save me a ton of time. Thank you Natasha! I have yet to make something from your recipes that doesn’t hit it out of the park!
Hello Allison, your comments and feedback make me so happy! Thank you so much for sharing your great feedback with us.
Do you preheat your air fryer to cook the thawed sandwiches or just cook for a total of 5 minutes?
Hi Rose, we preheat it.
Hello Natasha,
I have a silly question. When you microwave the sandwich from frozen, do you use the “defrost” or “high” setting?
Thank you,
Christine
Hi Christine, you can use the high setting or the 50% setting for extended time.
I’m so glad i found this. My son doesn’t care for eggs, but when I found this decided to try it and OMG! It’s now his favorite breakfast. I do have to make 12 of those, but instead of ham i use bacon. With my I’m able to freeze a few, but usually by the end of the week i have to take them out. My son doesn’t complain about the egg. He actually loves this. Every time he eats this he tells me “ I really like this mom thanks for making it” so I’m happy..
Wow, that is so heartwarming. Thank you so much for sharing that with us, Christina. I hope your son will also love the other recipes that you will try for him!
These were delicious fresh but for some reason after freezing them and reheating in a microwave, the eggs had freezer burn on them. Any idea what I am doing wrong? I wrapped each one tightly in plastic wrap.
Hi Marina, after wrapping them in plastic wrap, it helps to put them into a freezer-safe Ziploc bag or wrap in foil to prevent freezer burn.
What is the secret to mixing in the sourcream? I could not get mine to blend well
Hi Stephanie, I haven’t had that experience but it does help to mix the sour cream a bit to “soften” it before hand too.
Can I use croissants instead and would they freeze well? Have made the English muffins and they are delicious.
Hi Leni, the recipe itself is freezer friendly but I have not tested this with croissants to advise. If you experiment please let me know how you like that.
Super easy, filling and delicious.
For a mother of 3 boys, I struggled to feed them a filling, cheap and easy breakfast that could last them until lunch. This recipe actually allows me to be able to sleep in an extra 30 minutes, and not get up way before the boys just to feed their bottomless pits. I really liked how easy it is to store and reheat. It also goes great with fresh cut fruit or yogurt on the side for a more rounded breakfast.
This is definitely being added into the family favorites. Thank you Natasha. I look forward to many more mornings of silence as my boys devour a healthy nutritional breakfast, and less “mom, I’m hungry” only an hour after breakfast.
You’re welcome, Sarah! I’m so glad you found a family favorite on our blog!
These never made it to the freezer. We devoured them in just a couple of days. Super tasty and super easy recipe. I used maple glazed ham slices and one less egg – still perfect!
That happens around here also! Double batch it is next time!
Very easy great recipe
Thank you for giving this recipe a great review!
Hi I don’t use microwaves. Could I reheat these in an oven?
Hello Anita, that should work too.
Making these for my daughter and her family to save some time from cooking She is expecting in November 2022.
That’s nice of you, I hope they love it and congratulations in advance!
They are SO good. I’ve added Avocado, sometimes just spinach or just some Tapatio salsa and they’re always delicious. The warming instructions for when frozen are spot on as well! I’ve also just started making my eggs like this because they are delish on their own!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe, Natalie! Thank you for that wonderful review!
I have now made these several times and YUM! I love that you can make them ahead of time. I had no problems with rewarming them (from the fridge or freezer).
Hi Michelle. Thank you for your great feedback and glad to know that this became an all-time favorite!
Hi Natasha
I live in England and am a HUGE fan of many of your recipes. Lost count how many I have tried and all are just brilliant. Today I made breakfast sandwiches and burritos for my husband and he thought them scrumptious. Love your blog and recipes
That’s so great Anna! Thank you for sharing that awesome feedback with us! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe.
These are so delicious! I just prepped them and made half with ham and the other half with cooked bacon and sliced Gouda on each. Freshly prepared, it exceeded my expectations! Far better than McDonald’s egg McMuffins. I’m excited for breakfast this week!
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Leisha!
Hi I found this recipe searching for a way to do this myself from scratch vs buying the store-bought ones. I love the idea of cooking the eggs in the casserole dish I’m just wondering if you can exclude the sour cream? Is there a reason for the sour cream other than flavor. I don’t really use sour cream often so buying it just for this recipe seems to negate the cost-effectiveness.
Also I’m wondering if you could add cubed ham or pre-cooked bulk sausage to the eggs before cooking them and if anyone is tried that. Seems like it might save a step.
I plan to have these setup for my son to quickly make and Grab & Go in the mornings on his way to college so the English muffins will be toasted fresh versus all of this in the freezer. I guess I’m just feeling like toast the muffin heat the egg slab in the microwave and add a slice of pepper jack cheese in your off would work well.
Will probably give this idea a try on my own but just wondering if anyone else has tried it or thought of it this way.
At any rate thanks for the wonderful tip an idea for how to cook the eggs ahead of time
Hi Lianne, you can omit the sour cream and the egg bake will still work great. I love your idea of using pre cooked meats mixed into the egg. As long as they are pre-cooked, they should work fine. I would suggest slicing the meat into small bites so it heats through adequately.
Two questions: do you think this would work just as well with bagels? I am making for my husband’s army unit and get nervous haha. Don’t want them to be soggy and wasn’t sure if somehow English muffins were the perfect vessel haha. Also, I’m not freezing mine just making the night before. I plan on using the reheating instructions for if you thawed them the night before.
I have been promising breakfast sandwiches and no time in the mornings every weekend thanks for this!
Hi Sarah, I haven’t tested that with bagels but I imagine that should work! If you experiment please let me know how you like the recipe.
I love making these sandwiches, however my bottom bun is always very hard and crunchy compared to the top? Why could this be?
Hi Tashmier, I’m wondering if that is due to the type of bun used? Also, are you cooking the bottom side longer by chance?
Thank you!
My BF Loves them! I don’t add the bun with it..I defrost, eggs over night, pop into a buttered stick free pan, and toast the English muffins for that fresh extra crunch! I add a bit more cheese, and let it get all gooey and browned! Making again tonight!!! YUM!!
I love that idea! Thank you for sharing!
I haven’t tried this yet, it looks great. I was wondering if you could use sausage patties or bacon in them and how the cooking time would differ.
Hi Tashmier, the reheating time would be about the same. If you mean cooking the sausage patties and bacon, yes those would be different. I would cook the patties as individual patties and you can crisp the bacon in the oven (400˚ for 15-20 min depending on bacon thickness), or on a skillet on the stovetop.
I use Thomas English muffins, regular, and I broil for about 2 minutes, then wrap and freeze, I microwave for about 90 seconds a side
So grateful for this recipe! I made the sandwiches this morning for a friend who just got out of the hospital. I’d love to hear more about recipes that can be easily frozen and re-heated. I can imagine that I will be using many more of your delicious recipes in the coming days!
Awww that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I’m all smiles!
I have made these several times. They are great for work, camping and just to grab on the run.i use ham, bacon or chicken and they all are great. Thanks for the recipe.
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it Billie!
Hi
Can’t wait to try this can you tell me what type of serrated knife you used for the muffins
Thanks
Hi Kris, all of our favorites are located in our shop here.
Your recipe of ‘freezer-breakfast-sandwiches’ looks very delicious and I am going to try it now. Thank you for sharing it.
You’re welcome! I hope you love it!
These are fantastic. Using a biscuit cutter helped make the egg fit the english muffin much better.
Yes! It is so much easier with that. Thank you for that great review, Vickie, I’m happy you enjoyed that.
these are fantastic, my husband loves them. Easy to make, and pop in the freezer. Thank you
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Can we have instructions on reheating in a normal oven or stovetop (microwave-free household…no airfryer…) Would love to batch cook a bunch of these for on the go, or future family road trips, etc.
Hi Marie, if you are a microwave free household, I would highly highly recommend an airfryer. I think you’d love it. It’s basically a super fast convection oven/toaster oven that doesn’t need to be preheated. It cuts the bake time in half or more for most things. We are smitten with our airfryer. For a normal oven, you will have best results if you thaw first then wrap in foil and bake at 350˚F for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through.
Hi Natasha!
Love this recipe. So much better than any breakfast sandwich you can buy. I wanted to share something with you. When I made this recipe, I cut out circles to make the regular sandwiches. With the ‘leftovers’ in the pan, I scraped these together and threw them in a folded flour tortilla with the sliced cheese and meat (I used bacon). I microwaved it for 20 seconds to melt the cheese, and then threw it in the toaster oven to brown up. I then cut them into triangles, and voila, breakfast quesadillas! Served with a little side of salsa (or ketchup). Deelish!!! Could be a burrito too, I guess. Cheers!
I love that idea, John! Thank you for sharing that great review with me.
Love your shirt. Do you mind sharing where you found it?
Hi Laura, thank you! It is from the LOFT store.
I would like to make these the night before, and serve the next morning without freezing. Will this work or will the muffins become soggy? And, if you think it would work, how long to reheat in a 350 oven?
Hi Dorothy! See step 4 in the recipe card. We wrap them tightly in plastic wrap (or in aluminum foil if used for camping) then place them in a large freezer-safe ziploc bag and refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months. Also, see my note in the blog above titled, “How to Reheat Breakfast Sandwiches.”
I hope you love the recipe!
Delicious. My husband loves heating these up for breakfast, especially if he has to run out the door fast! I thought I took the eggs out of the oven a tad too soon, so I just finished cooking them on a frying pan–totally good still!
That’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me!!
Did anyone else have trouble with the frozen sandwiches becoming super soggy after microwaving, even with multiple sheets of paper towels? Sandwich was great fresh, but after freezing, a soggy mess. Any tips?
Hi Alice, I haven’t had that happen and don’t see any comments mentioning that. I am more than happy to troubleshoot though! Were any changes or adjustments made? Did you microwave right after pulling from freezer or letting it thaw?
No changes to the recipe, microwaved right after pulling from the freezer. Today I microwaved them after thawing in the fridge last night and they were a lot better, no sogginess, so not sure what happened!
there super good wish my granny made me these when i was in school
thanks Natasha
just out of curiosity whens a giveaway going to happen?
I’m so happy you enjoyed that Abbigail! Thank you for that awesome review! & stay tuned they usually come towards the holidays.
Thank you for this recipe!!! I absolutely love it because of its simplicity and what a time saver. My daughter has to be at a bus stop at 6:20am so breakfast was such a struggle during school days but not anymore 😁. Woot!!! One happy mama here
Wow! That is early!!! I’m happy you found this recipe. Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Anna!
I used pastrami for these and they turned out amazing!!!! Thanks so much for the delicious recipe!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Yuliya!
So excited to make these. I bought a vacuum sealer and am meal prepping for when my first baby arrives. I’m going to try them with cooked turkey bacon.
That’s so great! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I hope you love this recipe!
I love these! I’ll be adding them to my meal prep for sure.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that Krissy!
Perfect! So cool that you included the camping reheat. While reading the recipe I was thinking about how I would take these camping with me. My usual camp breakfast is scrambled eggs with bacon or sausage. Your recipe, as you said, can be made ahead or quickly recreated in the morning over the fire. Nice job, Natasha!!
Btw…. maybe I never noticed before but great idea posting different pictures of you and your family at the bottom. They’re nice to see. Have a great day!!
Thank you for noticing the family photo Frank! I hope you enjoyed these sandwiches.
A freezer recipe! Love those. Thank you for this quick and easy recipe so much!
You’re so welcome, Kseniya! I hope you love this recipe!
This recipe has for sure come just in time for back to school season! Love this idea; can’t wait to make these for my kids!
Yes! Just in time to start planning for those busy mornings!
I am always looking for easy breakfast ideas and this is perfect! Thanks so much!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Lauren!
Thank you so much for this! Sometimes with a kid I find myself having no time and grab a McDonald’s breakfast sandwich and then feel major regrets. This solves the issue!
That it does! Thank you for watching and for that awesome review!
These are just perfect for when you need to grab something quickly and go! We love them!
Yes! We love it for that reason also! Thank you for sharing your great review!
Just on time before my camp. That’s good that I have one day to prepare it. Thank you so much… I will add some bacon to the sandwiches as well.
Perfect timing! Have lots of fun camping!
