Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Components
- 6 English muffins, cut in half
- 6 large eggs
- 3 slices of bacon, cut in half
- 3 sausage patties
- 6 slices of cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Butter or cooking spray (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Once done, remove the bacon and drain on paper towels to remove excess grease. Set aside.
- Cook the Sausage Patties: Using the same skillet, cook the sausage patties over medium heat until fully cooked through. Remove the patties and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat a small non-stick pan or use a pan fitted with 4 egg rings over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or cooking spray. Crack one egg into each circle, seasoning the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare Eggs to Preference: Cook the eggs until the whites are set and the yolk reaches your preferred doneness, about 3-4 minutes. For firmer yolks, gently flip the eggs and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove the eggs from the pan and let them cool slightly.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Place the bottom halves of the English muffins on a clean surface. Add a slice of cheese to each muffin half. For three sandwiches, top each with a cooked egg and two halves of bacon. For the remaining three sandwiches, top each with a cooked egg and one sausage patty. Finally, cover each with the top half of the English muffin.
- Wrap for Freezing: Wrap each sandwich tightly in parchment paper. Then place all wrapped sandwiches into ziplock bags or an airtight container. Store in the freezer for up to three months to maintain freshness.
- Reheat Before Serving: When ready to eat, unwrap the sandwich from the parchment paper and wrap it in a paper towel. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, reheat sandwiches in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes until thoroughly warmed.
Notes
- For even cooking, use egg rings or a similar tool to shape the eggs uniformly.
- Adjust seasoning on eggs according to your preference.
- These sandwiches freeze well, making them excellent for meal prepping.
- Ensure sandwiches are fully cooled before freezing to avoid sogginess.
- You can substitute bacon or sausage with other cooked breakfast meats if desired.
- Use cheese slices that melt well such as cheddar, American, or Swiss for best results.
