  • 1 tbsp Cooking spray Use for muffin tin and light greasing.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Cook sausage and bake the eggs
  1. Cook the breakfast sausage patties according to package directions, then set aside so they’re ready for assembly.
  2. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray, crack 1 egg into each cup, and break the yolks if you want more even filling.
  3. Season the eggs with salt and pepper, then bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes until the eggs are set.
Toast and assemble sandwiches
  1. Toast the English muffins lightly so they hold up during freezing and reheating.
  2. Assemble each sandwich using a muffin bottom, egg, sausage patty, one cheese slice, and a muffin top.
Wrap and freeze
  1. Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap, then place the wrapped sandwiches into freezer bags for storage.
  2. Freeze for up to 3 months, then unwrap and microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated through.

Notes

Pro tip: Let the baked eggs cool 5 minutes in the muffin tin before removing—this keeps them from tearing when you build the sandwiches. Refrigerate assembled (unwrapped) only if using within 2 days; for longer storage, keep frozen up to 3 months. Freezing is best; thawing isn’t required—microwave unwrapped for 1-2 minutes until hot. For a lighter option, use turkey sausage and reduced-fat cheese slices (same assembly and timing).
