Ingredients
Base
- English Muffins or Bagels – 6 to 8 pieces
Eggs
- Eggs – 6 large
- Salt – 1/4 teaspoon
- Black Pepper – 1/4 teaspoon
Cheese
- Cheddar, Mozzarella, or Swiss Cheese Slices – 6 to 8 slices
Breakfast Meat
- Bacon strips (about 12), or
- Sausage patties – 6 to 8 pieces, or
- Ham slices – 6 to 8 slices
Additional Ingredients
- Butter or Cooking Spray – for toasting
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Cook your breakfast meat (bacon, sausage, or ham) until fully browned. While the meat cooks, whisk eggs with salt and pepper, then scramble gently until just set. Toast or lightly butter your English muffins or bagels so they are ready for assembly.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Place scrambled eggs on the bottom half of each muffin or bagel, add your choice of cooked meat, then a slice of cheese. Top with the other half of the muffin or bagel. Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or foil to seal in freshness.
- Freeze for Later: Place the wrapped sandwiches into a zipper freezer bag or airtight container. Push out as much air as possible to avoid freezer burn, then store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Reheat and Enjoy: When ready to eat, unwrap the sandwich and heat it in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, flipping halfway, or reheat in a 350°F oven or toaster oven for 10 to 15 minutes until warmed through and cheese is melted.
Notes
- Use day-old English muffins or bagels for better toasting and reheating results.
- Let cooked eggs and meat cool fully before assembling to prevent sogginess.
- Double wrap sandwiches in plastic and foil to lock in moisture and flavor.
- Label each package with contents and freeze date for easy organization.
- Do not overcook eggs during preparation as they will continue cooking slightly during reheating.
