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.

How to make these breakfast sandwiches:
- Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.

How to store your breakfast sandwiches for the week:
It’s best to keep your sandwiches stored in the freezer. They last up to 3 months in the freezer when stored properly! I will pull one out of the freezer the night before I want it and place in the fridge. In the morning, wrap in a paper towel and then place in the microwave for 45-50 seconds. I keep them stored in the freezer in these large reusable bags.
FAQs:
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.
