Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches
These make ahead Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches are something that I have wanted to perfect for awhile now. I worried they might not live up to the hype, but boy was I totally wrong! Seriously, these breakfast sandwiches are not only delicious and simple, but they store wonderfully in the freezer and still taste great after rewarming them.
Another thing I wanted to point out is that you can definitely customize them. I make my freezer breakfast sandwiches with an english muffin because I think english muffins store best in the freezer, and my family loves them. You could also try making them with bagels, or sandwich thins.
Also, if you wanted to make them healthier there are so many ways to do this. I have a whole section (see below) with ideas of how to make healthy freezer breakfast sandwiches.
How to make freezer breakfast sandwiches:
Prepare the eggs: Whisk the eggs, milk, salt and pepper and pour the egg mixture into a greased 9×13 pan.
Bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes, or just until the center is set. When baking the eggs, make sure not to over-cook them! You want the center to be just barely set. The eggs will get cooked more when the breakfast sandwiches are reheated, so we want their texture to still be good, and not overcooked. Allow the eggs to cool and cut them into 12 squares.
Assemble: Top each English muffin half with egg, cheese, and meat.
Eat or Freeze: If you are consuming your breakfast sandwich right away, heat the sandwiches at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes or until the cheese melts. If you are freezing your breakfast sandwich, wrap each sandwich individually in wax paper, parchment paper, or tinfoil and place them in a freezer safe resealable bag. Freeze for up to 1 month.
How to reheat frozen breakfast sandwiches:
Remove the plastic wrap and wrap the sandwich in a paper towel. Microwave for 1 minute on defrost or 50% power. Flip the sandwich over and microwave for 30 seconds- 1 minute on high power, until warmed through.
You could also reheat these freezer breakfast sandwiches in the toaster oven or regular oven. My family even likes to bring them camping and reheat them over the campfire!
To Make Healthy Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches:
There are so many variations you can use to make these freezer breakfast sandwiches healthy!
- Switch to whole grain bread. Switching to whole grain will add fiber which helps our bodies regulate digestion, lowers our risk for obesity related diseases, and helps you feel full for longer!
- When preparing your eggs, add vegetables! Add any vegetables you like to the eggs before baking, including: mushrooms, onions, peppers, spinach, zucchini, etc. Adding vegetables will also add valuable vitamins, minerals, and fiber and it will help the sandwich feel even more hearty!
- Use egg whites. You could cook your egg bake with egg whites only! This will help lower the cholesterol content and overall calories or your freezer breakfast sandwich. If you are using this method, you will want to add a few more egg whites than called for.
- Swap out the meat. You could swap bacon for turkey bacon, sausage for turkey sausage, or forgo the meat entirely!

- 12 English muffins
- 12 slices cheddar cheese , or your favorite cheese
Instructions

- Remove from oven and allow to cool before cutting into 12 squares.
- Top each English muffin half with egg, cheese, meat, and the other half of the muffin. If you are consuming right away, heat the sandwiches at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.
To Freeze:
- Wrap each sandwich individually in tinfoil, wax paper, or parchment paper and place them in a freezer safe resealable bag. Freeze for up to 1 month.
To reheat:
- Thaw in fridge overnight, for best results. Remove paper and wrap sandwich in a paper towel. Microwave for 40 seconds - 1 minute on defrost (or 50% power). Flip the sandwich over and microwave for 10-30 seconds on high power, until warmed through.

I made a half batch of these breakfast sandwiches to use up some bacon and English muffins I had left over after a weekend with guests. The sandwiches were really good–surprised me because I expected they would be dry and dull, but they were moist and flavorful. I’ll make again–thanks!
Thank you so much for this recipe. It’s been difficult trying to find an acceptable pre-made breakfast sandwich that I can use on Weight Watchers.
I used light English muffins, turkey sausage, Canadian bacon, reduced-fat cheese, added spinach to a few. The results were great. Now my son wants a set of his own.
Thanks again.
Can you swap out the Egg McMuffins for biscuits on the breakfast sandwiches?
Sure! Sounds delicious.
It says these are good in the freezer for about a month. Will they be okay longer than that? I assume as long as they are stored correctly they would be okay, but maybe not… any insight?
Food a “safe” standpoint, yes. The quality will just go down.
I love this recipe!! I made it a couple weeks ago and we loved it. Yummy and easy too! What’s not to like?! 🙂 Thanks for sharing the recipe and your website!. 🙂
About How long will these last frozen? I’m making these as an easy meal for a senior/adult and like to mark the “use by” date. Thanks so much
Up to three months.
Fantastic! Was a bit wary of how they would turn out but love them. Going to be a regular breakfast for me. I thaw in the fridge overnight. Then throw in the microwave for a short time and then throw it in the sand which press. I find the heating a bit first in the microwave makes sure everything is warmed through by the time the muffin toasts (I like stuff lightly toasted)
If reheating from frozen in oven, do you unrwap and place directly on wire racks, or put on baking dish?
I would wrap them in tinfoil and place them directly on the oven rack.
Can you use hamburger buns my kids don’t like the English muffins??
Sure!
What are the instructions for reheating in the toaster oven?
Would regular sourdough sandwich bread work for this? A few in my family have dental issues and English muffins and bagels are difficult for chewing. Thanks!
Yes that would work! Enjoy
You could also use English Muffin Toasting bread for that English muffin taste without all the English muffin chewiness.
I make 6 at a time. I lightly toast, cool, then butter the muffins. I place egg, cooked meat, cheese on muffin bottom, then place top on, wrap in foil, store all sandwiches in freezer ziplock and freeze. To serve, I reheat foil wrapped frozen sandwich in my countertop oven, 350° for about 12-15 minutes (time depends on your oven). I prefer this to microwave method which can make eggs and muffins rubbery.
Love the recipe, my family loves the convenience factor and it is delicious! I have a question though. When defrosting in the refrigerator over night, how long are they good in the refrigerator? I ask, because sometimes life makes changes and they may be thawed in the fridge.
I would eat them within 1-3 days (Depending on how fresh your ingredients were before freezing them 🙂 )
Hi Lauren,
Have you ever tried using biscuits instead of English muffins?
That would work great! Enjoy!
