These easy make-ahead breakfast sandwiches are perfect for busy mornings, combining fluffy eggs, melty cheese, and savory fillings on toasted English muffins that freeze and reheat beautifully.

Ingredients

Scale
  • English muffins, split and toasted
  • 6 large eggs, beaten
  • Sharp cheddar or American cheese slices (or pepper jack for a spicy kick)
  • Cooked breakfast meat: bacon, sausage patties, or ham slices (turkey sausage for leaner option)
  • Butter (optional, for toasting muffins)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional add-ins: fresh spinach leaves, sliced avocado, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Split each English muffin and toast lightly in a pan with a bit of butter (about 2-3 minutes per side over medium heat). Set aside.
  2. Cook breakfast meat (bacon, sausage patties, or ham slices) in a skillet until cooked through and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease and keep warm.
  3. In a bowl, whisk 6 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until frothy. Pour into skillet over medium-low heat and stir gently and constantly until soft curds form but eggs remain tender and slightly runny, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat before fully firm.
  4. Assemble sandwiches by layering toasted muffin bottoms, about 1/4 cup cooked eggs per sandwich, a slice of cheese, then the meat. Top with muffin halves.
  5. Let sandwiches cool completely on a wire rack for about 15 minutes to prevent condensation and sogginess.
  6. Wrap each sandwich tightly in parchment or wax paper, then place in freezer-safe bags or containers. Label with date and contents. Freeze flat.
  7. To reheat, unwrap and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until heated through. For a crispier muffin, toast in a toaster oven for 2-3 minutes after microwaving.

Notes

Cook eggs gently over low heat to keep them fluffy and moist. Toast English muffins before assembly to prevent sogginess. Let sandwiches cool completely before freezing to avoid ice crystals. Reheat in microwave then optionally toast for crispiness. Adjust reheating times based on microwave power.
