Instructions:
1. Prepare Biscuits:
- Bake or microwave the biscuits according to the package instructions.
- Allow them to cool completely.
2. Cook Sausage Patties:
- Cook the sausage patties in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and browned.
- Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease.
3. Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Cut each biscuit in half.
- Place a sausage patty on the bottom half of each biscuit.
4. Add Cheese:
- Lay a cheese slice on top of the sausage patty.
5. Wrap in Parchment Paper:
- Cut a square of parchment paper (about a foot long).
- Place the assembled sandwich in the center and fold the parchment paper around it, creating a neat package.
- Make sure the parchment paper completely covers the sandwich.
6. Place in Freezer Bags:
- Once wrapped in parchment paper, place each sandwich in a Meijer quart freezer bag.
- Label the bags with the date for easy organization.
7. Freeze:
- Store the sandwiches in the freezer. They can be stored for up to a week or more.
8. Reheating:
- In the morning, your husband can take a sandwich out of the freezer and remove the Meijer quart freezer bag.
- Microwave the sandwich in the parchment paper for about 30 seconds, or until heated through.
Optional: Add Eggs (for those who like them):
- If you want to add eggs to the sandwiches, mix eggs and bake them in a casserole dish.
- Once cooked, cut the eggs into squares to fit the sandwiches.
- Layer the egg squares with the sausage and cheese during the sandwich assembly process.
