Freezer Breakfast Sandwich with Oven Baked Eggs are easy to make, wrap up and stick in the freezer. Then, on a busy morning, all you have to do is toss them into the microwave and your breakfast is ready! They use english muffins, sausage, eggs and cheese.
I’ve been in a huge cold cereal rut recently and my poor kids have definitely been missing a bit of variety (and nutrition) in their morning meals. Last week, my 15 year old son kindly requested if I could restock the freezer with his favorite breakfast sandwich because he just couldn’t take one more bowl of rice crispies….
With as crazy as my schedule has been recently, I knew there wasn’t going to be time for me to make my normal recipe for these handy breakfast freezer sandwiches. I needed my sous chef to make a big batch of these for the freezer and I wasn’t quite sure how she would do with the egg portion of my original recipe. I needed something that was going to be easy for my 10 year old to make all on her own.
I remembered seeing somewhere on Pinterest the idea to oven bake the eggs in muffin tins and I knew it was the perfect solution. She made them all on her own and I was able to get a ton of work done while she slaved away kept busy in the kitchen.
I had her break the yolk up a bit so that each bite of the breakfast sandwich had some yolk, but feel free to keep it whole if you would like it that way. Also, if you would prefer your eggs soft and a bit runny on the inside, just reduce the baking time to 15 minutes.

PinDescription
This easy recipe makes a large batch of breakfast sandwiches that you can freeze, then toss in the microwave on a busy morning.
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- salt and pepper
- 12 english muffins
- 12 slices cheese
- 12 sausage patties
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease 12 muffins tins. Crack one egg into a small dish and be sure there are no shells before pouring that egg into one of the muffin tins. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Sprinkle the tops of all the eggs with some salt and pepper. Use a butter knife to break open the yolk, if desired, and then bake for 20 minutes until eggs are set.
- Assemble the sandwiches, wrap them each in plastic wrap and freeze. To reheat, unwrap the sandwich, open it into two pieces and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes – 2 minutes depending on the power of your microwave.

These look just genius. I loved the baked egg concept. I am making these this week. Do you just put a frozen already cooked sausage patty on each egg?
Great question Teresa. Yes, I buy the precooked sausage patties…usually turkey sausage
Nice post. I learn something totally new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon every day.
It’s always exciting to read articles from other writers and practice something from other
websites.
Thanks Mathias!
What do you use to store them in to be placed in the freezer and how long can they stay in the freezer?
I wrap them individually in plastic wrap and they last about a month!
do I need to pre cook the sausage ahead of time while the eggs are baking?
Howdy Barbara! I used the frozen precooked sausage patties but if you were going to use uncooked ones, that would be the perfect time to cook it!
I wanted to tell you I have a white and black and brown terrier Age 8. She is a rat terrier and smart as can be. I will also try the egg and muffin. Thanks.
Thanks for the comment Carol!
I love this! I’m making eggs now. Have you ever just stored the eggs without being made into a sandwich?
You can easily just freeze or refrigerate the eggs once they are fully cooked!
So just to clarify you are using precooked frozen sausage and assembling the frozen sausage with the cooked egg and then freezing? So not defrosting frozen sausage and then refreezing? I’m terrified of food poisoning so just double checking about frozen vs defrosted sausage. Thanks
Hey there Janette! That is correct. The frozen sausage is completely cooked and no worries at all about food poisoning.
I’m assuming I can kick it up a bit by adding jalapeños and cheese?
You bet Carmen! I add the cheese to the sandwich instead of the eggs, but either way works!
Hi, quick question, i want to make some for testing and i dont have a microwave so my question i could i put them on the low part of my freezer when they don’t get all frozen like a popsicle ? You think they last?
Hi Juliana! I’m not sure I am understanding your question. You can freeze them anywhere in your freezer but without a microwave, you should probably thaw them overnight in the fridge before heating them in the oven.
Do you toast the muffins before assembling?
You certainly can if you would like to!
