Equipment

  • 1 muffin tin

Method
 

Cook sausage
  1. Cook breakfast sausage patties according to package directions, then set aside.
  2. If using bacon slices, cook them until cooked through and set aside so they can be assembled later.
Bake eggs in muffin tin
  1. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray, then crack one egg into each cup, breaking yolks if desired.
  2. Season eggs with salt and pepper.
  3. Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes until the eggs are set.
Toast and assemble
  1. Toast English muffins lightly so they hold up during freezing and reheating.
  2. Assemble sandwiches with the muffin bottom, egg, sausage patty, cheese slice, then the muffin top.
Wrap and freeze
  1. Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap, then place wrapped sandwiches in freezer bags.
  2. Freeze for up to 3 months; to reheat, unwrap and microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated through.

Notes

Pro tip: after baking, let the egg cups cool 5 minutes so they release cleanly and stack without tearing. Store wrapped sandwiches in the freezer up to 3 months; freezer storage is best and there’s no need to freeze separately beyond the individual wraps. For a lower-fat option, swap the sausage patties for turkey sausage or use Canadian bacon.
