I love a good easy breakfast! Usually my morning time is spent running around trying to get the day started, so I love a breakfast option that’s ready to go with minimal thinking or preparing. That’s why I wanted to make these Make Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches. These sandwiches are freezer friendly, great for meal prep and a healthy way to start the day!
You know those mornings when you are running out the door and don’t have time to make anything for breakfast? Or when you wake up a little late and have a meeting in 5 minutes that you need to hop on Zoom for? These Make Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches are there for you during these times!! Not only are they so easy to throw together but they make for a great option to prep for breakfast. Let me tell you, they are a close up to the favorite McDonalds Egg Sausage McMuffin that we all grew up with.

It’s important to start your day by fueling yourself with a nutritious breakfast and these sandwiches are just that.

How to freeze and reheat these sandwiches:
These breakfast sandwiches can easily be made ahead of time and reheated during the week! The best way to freeze them is to wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap (make sure they are cool before doing this!) and then store in a large freezer bag. I used this one! Once you’ve done that, you can place them in the freezer. You can prep as many as you’d like!
I recommend leaving them out of the freezer the night before you want them. Let the sandwich defrost in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat in the morning by placing in the microwave for 45 seconds.
How to make these breakfast sandwiches:
- Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. If you’re making 4 sandwiches, whisk 4 eggs into a bowl with a little sea salt and pepper.
- Using the silicone mold, pour mixture to fill. You should be able to fill each one making it an egg each!
- Toast English muffins in the air fryer, toaster or oven.
- Place eggs in the oven to bake for 12- 14 minutes.
- Cook breakfast sausage patties according to package. I heated mine in the microwave!
- Prepare breakfast sandwiches by taking toasted English muffin, breakfast sausage, egg cup and a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Wrap in plastic wrap while still hot. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
- If you’re prepping and storing these in the freezer, allow to cool before placing in the freezer bags.
Recipe tip:
This recipe makes 4 breakfast sandwiches! If you want to prepare more, you can adjust to do that. I aim to do 1 egg in each silicone mold.
In the morning, try topping these with:
- Avocado
- Sriracha
- Add fresh spinach
