I made breakfast sandwhiches to put in the freezer for grab and go breakfast! These are sausage, egg and cheese on English muffins. Only .82 cents a sandwich!
I toasted the English muffins in the oven at 425.
Got frozen sausage patties and cooked them in the oven at 425 for about 20 minutes
Scrambled 12 eggs with a little milk, salt and pepper and put in a 9X13 baking pan sprayed with cooking spray. Cook them at 300 for 20 minutes.
Cut the eggs into 12 squares put one egg square, one sausage and a slice of cheese (I used provolone and Swiss cause that’s what I had on hand) on the toasted English muffin. Then I wrapped in parchment paper and froze them!

Here are some tips to ensure your Freezer-Friendly Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches turn out perfect:
1. Batch Preparation:
- Consider preparing the sandwiches in larger batches to save time and ensure you have a convenient supply in the freezer.
2. Egg Consistency:
- To achieve a consistent thickness for your egg squares, use a spatula or knife to smooth the scrambled eggs evenly in the baking pan before baking.
3. Choose Your Cheese:
- Experiment with different cheese varieties to find your favorite combination. Cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack can also work well.
4. Personalized Ingredients:
- Customize the sandwiches to your liking by adding extras like sliced tomatoes, avocado, or a dollop of salsa before freezing.
5. Portion Control:
- Ensure that each component of the sandwich is proportioned correctly to avoid one ingredient overpowering the others.
6. Wrapping Techniques:
- Wrap the sandwiches tightly in parchment paper to prevent freezer burn and maintain freshness. You can also use aluminum foil or plastic wrap before placing them in a labeled freezer bag.
7. Labeling:
- Clearly label each wrapped sandwich with the date of preparation. This helps you keep track of freshness and ensures you consume them within a reasonable time frame.
8. Thawing Instructions:
- Include a note with instructions on how to thaw and reheat the sandwiches, whether it’s in the microwave or toaster oven. This will make your grab-and-go breakfast even more convenient.
9. Storage Organization:
- Arrange the wrapped sandwiches in the freezer in a way that makes it easy to access individual portions. Stacking them with parchment paper between layers can help prevent sticking.
10. Freeze Flat:
- Lay the sandwiches flat in the freezer initially, and once they are frozen solid, you can stack them to save space.
11. Breakfast On-the-Go:
- If you often find yourself in a rush, consider keeping a few sandwiches in the refrigerator for quicker thawing and reheating.
12. Seal Properly:
- Ensure that each sandwich is sealed tightly to prevent moisture from getting in, which can affect the texture of the components.
