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.

Teresa says
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?
Carole says
Great question Teresa. Yes, I buy the precooked sausage patties…usually turkey sausage
Mathias says
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.
Carole says
Thanks Mathias!
Shena says
What do you use to store them in to be placed in the freezer and how long can they stay in the freezer?
Carole says
I wrap them individually in plastic wrap and they last about a month!
Barbara Williams says
do I need to pre cook the sausage ahead of time while the eggs are baking?
Carole says
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!
Carol says
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.
Carole says
Thanks for the comment Carol!
Heather says
I love this! I’m making eggs now. Have you ever just stored the eggs without being made into a sandwich?
Carole says
You can easily just freeze or refrigerate the eggs once they are fully cooked!
Janette says
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
Carole says
Hey there Janette! That is correct. The frozen sausage is completely cooked and no worries at all about food poisoning.
Carmen Meyer says
I’m assuming I can kick it up a bit by adding jalapeños and cheese?
Carole says
You bet Carmen! I add the cheese to the sandwich instead of the eggs, but either way works!
Juliana says
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?
Carole says
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.
Lisa says
You also could heat up the microwave the meat, egg & cheese, toast the english muffins.
Carlene says
Do you toast the muffins before assembling?
Carole says
You certainly can if you would like to!
Austin says
Hey There. I discovered your blog using msn. That is
an extremely well written article. I’ll make sure to bookmark it
and come back to read more of your helpful info. Thank you for the post.
I’ll certainly comeback.

Have you ever made these with bacon or Canadian bacon/ham instead of sausage? Separate question, have you ever tried using JUSt egg product and cheese ( no meat)?
Carole says
Hi Kim! No, I haven’t tried those variations but I bet they would work well.
Lucretia says
The whole family loved it
