Ingredients
  

English muffins

Eggs
  • 12 eggs Crack one into each muffin cup.
Sausage
  • 12 breakfast sausage patties Cook according to package directions (or use bacon slices as a swap).
Cheese
  • 12 American or cheddar cheese Use slices; place on hot eggs so they melt.
Seasonings
  • 0.25 tsp salt and pepper To taste; season eggs before baking.
Cooking fat
  • 1 tbsp butter for cooking eggs Use for cooking eggs in the muffin cups if desired.
Cooking spray
  • 1 cooking spray Grease muffin tin to prevent sticking.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 muffin tin

Method
 

Cook sausage
  1. Cook the breakfast sausage patties according to package directions, then set aside.
  2. Keep the sausage warm so it layers cleanly in the sandwiches.
Bake the eggs in a muffin tin
  1. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray and crack one egg into each cup, breaking yolks if desired.
  2. Season the eggs with salt and pepper and bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes until set.
Toast and assemble
  1. Toast the English muffins lightly so they hold up to freezing and reheating.
  2. Assemble each sandwich with muffin bottom, egg, sausage patty, cheese slice, and muffin top.
Freeze and reheat
  1. Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap, then place them in freezer bags.
  2. Freeze for up to 3 months; reheat by unwrapping and microwaving for 1-2 minutes until heated through.

Notes

Pro tip: If your freezer batches tend to stick, let the egg cups cool 5 minutes before assembling, then add cheese while the eggs are still hot for better melt. Store wrapped sandwiches in the freezer for up to 3 months; freezing works great and there’s no need to thaw. For a lighter option, use turkey sausage patties and reduced-fat cheese slices.
