Ingredients to make breakfast sandwich

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. In the same skillet, cook the sausage patties until browned and cooked through. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Eggs
Lightly grease a non-stick pan or use egg rings for a perfectly round shape. Crack an egg into the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the whites are set. If you prefer a firmer yolk, flip and cook for another minute. Once done, remove from the pan and let them cool slightly.

Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches
Lay out the bottom halves of your English muffins. Place a slice of cheese on each one. For half the sandwiches, add an egg and two bacon halves; for the others, add an egg and a sausage patty. Top with the other half of the muffin.

Step 4: Wrap and Freeze
Wrap each sandwich in parchment paper and place them in a large freezer-safe bag or airtight container. Store in the freezer for up to three months.

Step 5: Reheat and Enjoy
Unwrap the sandwich, wrap it in a paper towel, and microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated through. If you prefer, bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 20 minutes.

Make It Your Own: Delicious Variations

  • The Classic Ham & Cheese: Swap out the bacon and sausage for a slice of ham and Swiss cheese. A little Dijon mustard spread on the muffin takes it up a notch.
  • Veggie Lover’s Delight: Sauté some spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers and add them to the eggs before cooking. Pair with a slice of pepper jack cheese for a little kick!
  • Avocado & Turkey: Use whole wheat English muffins, swap out the bacon for turkey bacon, and add a slice of avocado before serving for a creamy, nutritious twist.
  • Everything Bagel Style: Use everything bagel-flavored English muffins and add a sprinkle of everything seasoning to the eggs before cooking. So good!
