- Total Cost (6 sandwiches): $8.19
- Those Other Guys: $4.00 per sandwich
Ingredients
- English Muffin - You can use your favorite type of bread: whole-wheat, white, sourdough, etc...
- Breakfast Sausage Patties - Grab a good brand of breakfast sausage patty that's thick and delicious. Our family uses chicken, but pork, turkey, or beef will work great as well.
- Sliced Cheese - A thinly sliced variation of cheese will melt a little better than the thick ones.
- Eggs - We season with a pinch of salt + pepper and add plain Greek yogurt for extra protein.
Variations and Substitutions
Protein: If you're not a huge sausage person, you can use your favorite brand of bacon, ham, or deli meat instead.
Cheeses: Try this recipe with provolone, American, pepper jack, or Colby jack cheese.
Vegetables: To get extra veggies in your sandwich, you can stir ingredients like spinach or chives right into the eggs.
Southwest-Style Breakfast Burritos: More of a burrito person? These Breakfast Burritos are packed with bell peppers, onions, eggs, and juicy sausage.
How to Make Frozen Breakfast Sandwiches at Home
These are incredibly easy to make - it's all about cooking the individual parts, and assembling/wrapping each sandwich!
- Start out by cooking your eggs. We're steaming them for a fluffy light texture, so start these first in the oven using a water bath. Once the eggs are done and slightly cooled, cut into even squares.
- While those are baking, go ahead and sear your sausage. If it came pre-cooked, no need to reheat.
- Toast the halved English muffins for a little extra flavor and texture.
- That's it! Assemble, and you can enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator/freezer for later.
Recipe Pro Tip
- Don't overcook the eggs! Especially if you plan to reheat these, make sure to cook the eggs until just set. That way they won't turn rubbery later.
Recipe FAQs
I have a lot of homemade jam recipes on Coined Cuisine - try a spread of my strawberry preserves or blackberry jam.
A toaster oven usually reheats more evenly - simply wrap the sandwich in a damp paper towel to help it steam.
If using a microwave: first, use the "defrost" setting to remove any layers of ice. Once the sandwich is soft, go ahead and heat on the normal power setting for another 40 seconds or so.
