Freezer Friendly Breakfast Egg Sandwiches
Who’s up for a delicious breakfast meal prep? I’m going to be honest, whenever I have a super early shift at work and H drives me to work, we indulge and go through the golden arches’ drive thru for a breakfast sandwich.
This year, I’m aiming to be a little more prepared when it comes to these last minute morning outings. So, I’m working on creating more freezer friendly breakfast meal preps. I plan on making a large batch that will hang out in my freezer so I can pull them out whenever I’m in need of a quick, easy breakfast.
Eggs, Eggs, and More Eggs
I always try to keep the recipes on my blog healthy because I want to share how easy it is to eat healthy and still be budget friendly. Eggs are one of the most budget friendly ways to meal prep and eggs are the highest quality source of protein available which contributes to a healthy, balanced diet. One serving of Canadian eggs includes 65% of your daily requirement of B12, which plays a role in in preventing heart disease. Because of these health benefits, eggs are a great ingredient to incorporate into your daily diet for a healthier 2019!
What You’ll Need To Make These Freezer Friendly Breakfast Sandwiches
- eggs
- milk
- salt/pepper
- bacon
- english muffins
- cheese
If you are freezing them, you’ll also need
- parchment paper or tinfoil
- freezer ziploc bag or an airtight container
- freezer marker
How To Make These Freezer Friendly Breakfast Egg Sandwiches
- Heat the oven to 375F.
- In a large bowl, beat together your eggs before adding in milk, salt, and pepper. You can also add additional seasonings if you’d like (such as garlic powder, paprika, etc).
- Once mixed, pour into a 5.5 x 4 inch baking dish (sprayed with non-stick). Set aside.
- On a large sheet pan, place your bacon strips on evenly.
- Set an alarm for the oven for 35 minutes. At the 20 minute mark, pull out your bacon and let cool. Let the eggs cook until the 35 minutes are up.
- Optional: you can also place your english muffins in the oven as well to toast them if you prefer a toasted bun.
- Once your eggs are done, pull them out as well.
- Cut your eggs into 6 equal pieces and your bacon strips in half.
- Finally, assemble your breakfast sandwich in the order you wish it to be.
How To Freeze These Breakfast Sandwiches
- Wrap each sandwich in a square of parchment paper or tin foil. Then before putting it into a freezer friendly ziploc bag or airtight container, use a permanent marker to write the contents and date on the sandwich (or write it on the ziploc).
How To Reheat Frozen Breakfast Egg Sandwiches
- Be sure to unwrap the bacon egg and cheese sandwiches first.
- Place a paper towel under your sandwich and reheat the frozen breakfast sandwiches in the microwave. Microwave for 1.5 to 2 minutes until the sandwich is hot all the way through and the cheese has melted.
- In a toaster (or regular) oven, heat the sandwich for 10-15 minutes at 350F.

This is a genius idea, Carmy. Breakfast sandwiches are always a smart start to the day and prepping them ahead of time for a weeks worth of meals just makes sense. Way better than a bowl of raising bran, too! I’m also really loving the way you’ve baked the eggs so they just get sliced to fit on each sandwich. That’s really smart.
Tracy
Girl you are speaking my breakfast love language. I have super early mornings too so I usually just hard boil a bunch of eggs and grab and go with them all week. But it’s sooooo boring. This is a WAY better idea – while still being pretty healthy but SO much tastier!!
Marisa Franca
What a fantastic idea. I love a savory breakfast and eggs are one of my favorites. This sandwich would be wonderful on those busy mornings when I don’t want to cook plus don’t have time. It’s delicious and ready to go!! This recipe is a keeper.

I have a complicated relationship with breakfast. On the one hand, I love a good breakfast meal, and I’m particularly fond of breakfast sandwiches (though I try to take the DIY route when I can, as the fast food versions are often so salty and high in calories). On the other hand, I’m often not in the mood to make anything substantial early in the morning. The idea of a freezer-friendly breakfast sandwich is right up my alley. Given how busy our lives are these sound like a godsend! Thanks for the idea – I think I’m going to have to make some room in the freezer now! Cheers!
Carmy
I am on that same boat! I’m barely awake in the mornings, let alone awake enough to make something every morning from scratch lol
Debra
This is such a great idea. Not only do you save time, but you save $$ as well. Plus when you make it yourself, you can customize (I would put a squirt of hot sauce or sriracha on each) for health or taste preferences. No excuses to skip breakfast.
Donna
Ooh yum, these sound like a great breakfast option. I am glad you included re-heating instructions for the oven, we don’t have a microwave and I always thought it would be a pain to re-heat something like this without one, but sounds totally doable!
Traci
Breakfast meal prep is, hands down, my favorite meal prep task! Probably because it means we’ve got every morning covered. We love to make breakfast egg sandwiches and I’m craving yours right now! Thanks for sharing yours! :)
Trish
This is such a good idea! We like just simple egg and cheese muffins but rarely eat them. Gotta try this out thanks for the inspo!
Dana
Oh my god these are AMAZING. I’m going to make so many of these before I have my baby because I am *so* going to need a quick, filling, and nutritious breakfast for myself. And breakfast sammies are SUCH a treat!
Tammy
Wow this sounds great!! We are going camping for two weeks and I think these will go down well!! Just wondering do you think I could reheat in a frying pan??
Carmy
I haven’t tried myself but I don’t see why not! I’ve reheated it in a toaster oven as well as the microwave so it shouldn’t be much different other than you’d have to manually flip them!
Juhi
Can you store them in the refrigerator instead of the freezer. Not sure if I can freeze them correctly
Carmy
If you store them in the fridge, it’s 3-4 days max. Freezing is best!
jamee
Do you put the eggs and the bacon in the oven together?
Carmy
Yes, be sure to set an alarm to pull them out at different times.
