Homemade Frozen Breakfast Sandwiches: Easy, Affordable, and Delicious
My husband and I enjoy the convenience and taste of frozen breakfast sandwiches from the grocery store, but at four sandwiches per box, the cost adds up quickly. So, I decided to make my own at home. The result? Super easy, delicious, and cost-effective sandwiches that we both love. Here’s how I do it:
Ingredients:
- Eggs
- Pork sausage patties (Kroger brand)
- English muffins
- Sliced cheese
- Olive oil (for coating the molds)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Method:
- Prepare the Eggs:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (or 375°F for convection).
- Coat the egg molds with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Crack an egg into each mold. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake the eggs for about 17 minutes if you prefer a fully set yolk. If you like a runny yolk, reduce the baking time slightly.
- Cook the Sausage Patties:
- Place the pork sausage patties on a sheet pan.
- Cook them in the oven until they are fully done.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Split the English muffins and toast them if desired.
- Place a cooked egg on the bottom half of each muffin.
- Add a sausage patty on top of the egg.
- Place a slice of cheese over the sausage.
- Top with the other half of the English muffin.
- Wrap and Freeze:
- Wrap each assembled sandwich in plastic wrap or parchment paper.
- Place the wrapped sandwiches in a freezer-safe bag or container.
- Store in the freezer for up to one month.
Reheating Instructions:
To reheat the sandwiches, remove the plastic wrap and wrap them in a paper towel. Microwave on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds. This method keeps the sandwiches from drying out, and they come out perfectly every time.
Cost Efficiency:
Making a dozen of these sandwiches costs about $10, which is a fraction of the price of store-bought ones. Plus, you have the satisfaction of knowing exactly what’s in your breakfast.
Conclusion:
Homemade frozen breakfast sandwiches are a great way to enjoy a quick, tasty, and economical meal. With just a bit of preparation, you can have a delicious breakfast ready to go every morning. Give it a try and enjoy the convenience and savings!
