    This time saving frozen breakfast sandwich is an easy make-ahead breakfast for busy mornings or weeknight meals. What's even better is that it takes a few minutes to prep and 30 minutes to bake, no more cooking individual eggs, bacon.

    How will these freezer breakfast sandwiches 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 try frozen breakfast sandwiches that you can make ahead & freeze for a quick breakfast, 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)
    • Mini Dark Chocolate Waffles.

    What makes this make ahead breakfast sandwich so good?

    • Eggs
    • Milk
    • Kale
    • Bacon
    • English muffins
    • Cheddar cheese

    How do I cook these breakfast sandwiches?

    eggs and milk in a glass bowl with a whisk in it

    The first step to make a batch of frozen breakfast sandwiches is to Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk eggs, milk, and salt/pepper together until eggs are smooth and all ingredients are incorporated.

    uncooked eggs, kale, and bacon slices in a square baking pan

    Spray cooking spray or butter 8x8 baking pan. Pour egg mixture into pan. Add kale and bacon slices (or whatever you want in your eggs). Bake for 20 minutes.

    cooked eggs with cheese on top in a square baking pan

    When 10 minutes remain in cooking time, place 4 slices of cheddar cheese on top of egg mixture for your frozen breakfast sandwich.

    sliced eggs for breakfast sandwiches on a cutting board

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

    When ready to eat, microwave eggs for 30-60 seconds, or until warm and toast an English muffin. Assemble and enjoy your frozen breakfast sandwich.

    Expert Tips/Substitutions

    • Crack up to 8 eggs if you like a bit more egg in your frozen breakfast sandwich.
    • Use a larger baking pan if you need to, but egg mixture will be thinner.
    • Swap the bacon and kale for other toppings like: feta cheese + sliced tomatoes + red onions, crumbled sausage + spinach + sauteed onions, crumbled sausage + cheddar cheese, whatever meat/vegetables/cheese you have that you want to use up.
    • Add all frozen breakfast sandwich ingredients to a baking pan and bake for quicker prep than individual eggs and toppings.
    • 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.

    FAQ

    How to heat frozen breakfast sandwich?

    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.

    Can I freeze egg sandwiches?

    Yes, here are my tips for a frozen egg sandwich: cook all eggs/toppings together. Cut into individual servings, freeze on cutting board for 1-2 hours, transfer to freezer bag. Freeze English muffins separately.

    What can I make with leftover ingredients?

    • English Muffins: Slide a slice of this Sausage Egg Casserole in an english muffin. Smear peanut butter on it.
    • Bacon: Broccoli Salad with Grapes, No-Mayo Potato Salad, & Chicken and Bacon Sheet Pan Dinner.
    • Eggs: Freezer Breakfast Tacos, Egg & Veggie Roll-Up, Sausage Egg Casserole, or this Apple & Sharp Cheddar Omelet.
    • Kale: Kale Apple & Pecan Salad, Egg and Sausage Casserole (with kale), this Warm Kale Salad with Pomegranate Balsamic, and a Simple Sauteed Kale Salad recipe.
    • Cheddar Cheese: Protein Mac & Cheese, Cheesy Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Minute Queso Dip, Easy Burrito Bowl, Pumpkin Chili, Microwave Egg Bowl, or Huevos Rancheros.
