• 1 package of bacon
• 12 slices of cheese (American, cheddar, or your fave)
• 12 English muffins (whole wheat, sourdough, or gluten-free)

Customizations and Healthy Add-Ons

Step-by-Step Instructions

This is batch cooking breakfast magic right here. You’ll want to set aside about an hour total.

1. Cook the Bacon

• Preheat oven to 325°F
• Lay bacon strips on a foil-lined baking sheet
• Bake for 15–20 minutes until crispy
• Transfer to paper towel-lined plate

2. Sizzle the Sausage

• Heat skillet over medium heat
• Cook patties 5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through
• Drain excess grease

3. Make Sheet Pan Eggs

• Line a 9×13 sheet pan with parchment paper
• Whisk 12 eggs with salt, pepper, and optional veggies
• Pour into sheet pan
• Bake at 325°F for 25–30 minutes until set
• Cool slightly, then cut into 12 squares

Pro Tip: Place the empty sheet pan in the oven as it preheats, then pour the egg mix directly into the hot pan. Less spill, better texture.

4. Toast Those Muffins

• Slice your English muffins and toast lightly. This keeps them from going soggy later.

5. Sandwich Assembly Line

Start with the bottom muffin:

• Add a slice of sheet pan egg
• Top with sausage or bacon
• Lay on the cheese
• Cap it with the muffin top

Optional: Add a swipe of pesto, hot sauce, or salsa. This is your sandwich, own it.

Freezer Instructions: Wrap It Right

Alright, let’s talk freezer-friendly breakfast skills.

How to Wrap Each Sandwich

• Wrap individually in parchment paper, then in aluminum foil
• Use freezer-safe wrapping to lock in freshness and prevent freezer burn

Label & Stack

• Use masking tape or freezer labels to note date and contents
• Stack in a freezer-safe zip-top bag or container

Shelf Life: Up to 3 months

Avoid This Mistake: Don’t freeze them while still warm! Let them cool completely to avoid ice crystals.

How to Reheat Freezer Breakfast Sandwiche

Okay, so your sandwich is frozen solid and you’re hangry. Here’s what to do:

Microwave Instructions (Quickest Option)

• Unwrap from foil, keep parchment paper on
• Microwave on defrost for 40 seconds
• Then cook on high for 20–30 seconds
• Add 10 more seconds if needed

Pro Tip: Put a mug of water in the microwave with your sandwich to keep it from drying out.

Oven Reheating Guide (Crispier Option)

• From frozen: keep sandwich in foil, bake at 350°F for 30–35 minutes
• From thawed: 350°F for 5–8 minutes

Toaster Oven Lovers: Unwrap and toast at 375°F for 8–10 minutes

Breakfast Sandwich Variations & Custom Ideas

Feeling creative? Let’s switch things up.

• Eggless version: Use a tofu patty or veggie hash instead
• Meatless Monday: Use roasted portobello mushrooms or vegan sausage
• Low-carb: Skip the muffin and use lettuce wraps
• Global twist: Add kimchi, sriracha mayo, or chimichurri
• Mini Version: Make slider-sized ones with dinner rolls or mini muffins
