How to Make Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches
1. Cook the Bacon
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and bake bacon at 325°F (165°C) for about 15 minutes, or until crispy.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
2. Cook the Sausage
While the bacon cooks, add sausage patties to a skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
3. Bake the Sheet Pan Eggs
In a large bowl, whisk together 12 eggs, ¼ cup milk, salt, and pepper.
Pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (pull the oven rack out slightly first to prevent spills).
Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 30 minutes, or until set and slightly golden around the edges.
Let cool, then cut into 12 portions (square or round).
4. Assemble the Sandwiches
Split the English muffins in half and lightly butter each side.
Layer in order:
- Egg
- Bacon or sausage
- Cheese slice
Top with the other muffin half.
How to Freeze
Once your sandwiches are completely cool, wrap each one in parchment paper or plastic wrap.
Label each with the type (bacon or sausage), then store them in a large freezer bag.
Squeeze out any air before sealing.
Freeze for up to 3 months.
