This Breakfast Has Parents Everywhere Rejoicing—You’ve Gotta Try It

These genius Make Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches are a morning game changer. No longer do I have to se the looks of disappointment as I serve of bowls of cereal day after day. Instead, my kids’ eyes light up when they see me heating up a hot and delicious breakfast sandwich. Full of eggs, cheese and bacon—they are the ultimate weekend breakfast that’s quick enough for a weekday.

Since discovering this recipe (or method, really) I’ve made these more times than I can count and always have a few stashed in our freezer. Our whole family loves being able to have these hearty sandwiches on hand to fuel up for their day.

Ingredients

6 whole wheat English muffins

6 bacon slices (or other meat choice)

6 large eggs

6 slices cheese

12 pieces cheese

1 gallon-size zip-closed bag

Directions

Cut English muffins in half and toast, set aside.

Cook your choice of meat and set aside.

Add a drizzle of olive oil to a small pan and add a 3-inch biscuit cutter to a pan. Break the egg into the cutter, break the yolk and let it cook for a bit to set up and remove cutter. Flip the egg to the other side and fry until fully cooked. Note: When you break the egg into cutter it may leak out a little but it helps keep the general shape. If you’re not too overly concerned about the size of your egg you can also just cook it free form in the pan.

Cook all the eggs and set aside.

Once all the ingredients have been cooked, start assembling your sandwiches.

Lay out 6 English muffin bottoms and top with eggs, bacon, cheese and English muffin top.

Lay out 6 pieces of plastic wrap and wrap each sandwich. Wrap each sandwich again with another piece of plastic wrap.

Add wrapped sandwiches to a large zip-closed bag and put in the freezer.

To reheat the sandwiches, remove the plastic wrap, microwave on a plate for 30 seconds, open the sandwich and cook for another 45 seconds. Total heat time will depend on microwave strength. It could take anywhere from 1-2 minutes to be completely cooked.
