Ingredients
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for cooking eggs)
- 4 breakfast sausage patties, cooked (or turkey sausage, bacon, or vegetarian sausage patties)
- 4 cheddar cheese slices (or Swiss, American, or plant-based cheese)
- 4 English muffins, split and toasted (or bagels, biscuits, sandwich thins, or gluten-free alternatives)
- Optional: spinach leaves (fresh or sautéed)
- Optional: tomato slices
- Optional: hot sauce or mustard
Instructions
- Heat skillet over medium heat and cook sausage patties or bacon until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Melt butter in skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in egg mixture and cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes.
- Gently fold and push eggs toward the center to form a flat, round patty roughly the size of the muffin. Cook another 1-2 minutes until eggs are set but still moist.
- While eggs cook, split and toast English muffins until golden and slightly crisp.
- Assemble sandwiches by placing egg patty on bottom muffin half, then cooked sausage patty, a slice of cheese, and optional toppings like spinach or tomato. Top with muffin’s other half.
- Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper, then place in freezer-safe bag or container. Label with date.
- Freeze sandwiches for up to 1 month. To reheat, microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, flipping halfway, or thaw overnight and heat in toaster oven for 5-7 minutes for crispier finish.
Notes
Use sturdy English muffins like Thomas’ to avoid soggy sandwiches when reheated. For gluten-free, use gluten-free English muffins or sandwich thins. For dairy-free, swap cheese with plant-based alternatives and butter with olive oil. Cook eggs low and slow for fluffiness. Drain cooked meat on paper towels to reduce grease. Wrap sandwiches tightly to prevent freezer burn. Reheat by microwaving in short bursts flipping halfway or use toaster oven for crispiness.
