These freezer-friendly egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches are quick, easy, and perfect for busy mornings. Made with simple ingredients, they deliver a satisfying and delicious start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature for fluffiness)
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk or cream
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 6 English muffins, split and lightly toasted
  • 6 slices American or cheddar cheese
  • Optional: cooked bacon or sausage patties

Instructions

  1. Crack 6 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk gently but thoroughly until combined and slightly frothy, about 30 seconds.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit undisturbed for about 1 minute until the edges start to set.
  3. Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, cooking slowly for about 3-4 minutes until soft curds form.
  4. While eggs cook, split and lightly toast the English muffins until just golden.
  5. On the bottom half of each muffin, place a slice of cheese. Spoon a generous amount of scrambled eggs over the cheese, then add optional cooked bacon or sausage if desired. Top with the other muffin half.
  6. Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place wrapped sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid, about 1-2 hours. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag for storage.
  7. To reheat, unwrap the sandwich and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or toast in a toaster oven until heated through and cheese is melty.

Notes

Toast the English muffins before freezing to prevent sogginess. Freeze sandwiches individually on a baking sheet before bagging to avoid sticking. When reheating in the microwave, place a paper towel underneath to absorb moisture and finish in a toaster oven or under the broiler for crispness.
