Servings: 12 sandwiches
Ingredients:
12 eggs
¼ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 package of bacon
6 sausage patties
12 slices of cheddar cheese
12 English muffins
Instructions:
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 325°F to begin preheating.
Cook The Bacon: Lay out the bacon slices on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until crispy. Once done, use tongs to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease. Set aside for later.
Prepare the Sausage Patties: While the bacon is cooking, place the sausage patties in a skillet over medium-high heat on the stove. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and fully cooked. Set aside.
Sheet Pan Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30 minutes or until set. Once cooled, slice the eggs into 12 servings using a cookie cutter or a knife.
Assembling Breakfast Sandwiches: Split each English muffin in half and spread butter on each side. Place an egg serving on the bottom half of each muffin. Top six of the halves with sausage patties and the other six with bacon slices. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each. Place the remaining English muffin halves on top to form sandwiches.
Freezing Instructions: Individually wrap each sandwich in parchment paper or plastic wrap, labeling them with the type of filling (sausage or bacon). Place the wrapped sandwiches in a freezer bag, removing as much air as possible before sealing. These sandwiches can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Reheating Instructions: When you're ready to enjoy your breakfast sandwiches, follow these instructions:
From Frozen (Oven): Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the sandwiches from the freezer bag and parchment paper, placing them on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes until heated through and the cheese has melted.
From Thawed (Oven): Thaw the sandwiches overnight in the refrigerator, still wrapped in parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350°F, then bake for 5-8 minutes until heated through and the cheese has melted.
Microwave: Thaw the sandwiches overnight in the fridge. Remove them from the parchment paper and wrap in a paper towel. Microwave on defrost for 40 seconds, then flip and microwave on high for 20 seconds or until heated through and the cheese has melted.
Recipe Notes:
Get creative with your toppings! Add your favorite sauces like hot sauce, salsa, guacamole, or hummus to enhance the flavors.
For a healthier option, consider adding sweet potatoes and spinach to the sheet pan eggs before baking.
Enjoy these sandwiches hot and fresh or grab them from the freezer for a quick and convenient breakfast on busy mornings.
