This tasty frozen breakfast sandwich has an egg, kale, bacon, and of course cheddar cheese. It’s an easy make-ahead breakfast for busy mornings or weeknight meals. What’s even better is that it just takes a few minutes to prep and 30 minutes to bake, no need to cook individual eggs or bacon.

How will this frozen breakfast sandwich make your life easier?

Usually the easiest breakfasts are yogurt, oatmeal, and cereal. Those are great but they can get old real quick. So why not add fun breakfasts that you can make ahead and freeze for a quick breakfast, or even snack, or another meal?

Here are a couple of my favorite make-ahead freezer breakfasts: Healthy Breakfast Tacos, Whole Grain Zucchini Bread, Breakfast Sausage Casserole, PB Granola (no freezer needed, but it’s a great make-ahead breakfast), and Mini Dark Chocolate Waffles.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Crack 6 eggs in a medium mixing bowl. Pour 1/2 c of milk, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper into bowl. Whisk together until eggs are smooth and all ingredients are incorporated.

Expert Tip: Crack up to 8 eggs if you like a bit more egg in your sandwich.

Spray cooking spray or butter 8×8 baking pan. Pour egg mixture into pan. Cover with 3-4 washed kale leaves and 3-4 slices of bacon. Bake for 20 minutes.

Expert Tip: Use a larger baking pan if you need to, but egg mixture will be thinner.

Expert Tip: Add all ingredients to baking pan and bake for quicker prep than individual eggs and toppings.

When 10 minutes remain in cooking time, place 4 slices of cheddar cheese on top of egg mixture.

Cook 10 more minutes. Check temperature with thermometer. Eggs are done when they reach 165 degrees.

Flip eggs onto cutting board and cut into 6 slices. Freeze until use.

Expert Tip: Freeze sliced eggs on a cookie sheet or cutting board for 1-2 hours then transfer to a freezer bag so they don’t stick to each other.

When ready to eat, microwave eggs for 30-60 seconds, or until warm and toast an English muffin. Assemble and eat immediately.

FAQ

How do you cook frozen breakfast sandwiches?

Don’t assemble sandwiches prior to eating, freeze eggs and English muffins separately for best results. Toast English muffin while you heat up the eggs in the microwave for 30-60 seconds (depending on your individual microwave)

Can I freeze egg sandwiches?

Yes, you can. Here are my tips to a well frozen egg sandwich: cook all eggs/ingredients together to make really easy prep. Once egg mixture is cooked through, slice into individual servings and freeze on a cutting board or cookie sheet for about 1-2 hours so individual slices don’t freeze together. Transfer to freezer bag. Freeze English muffins separately.
