Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich

For those mornings when you hit snooze. Twice. Or when the thought of peanut butter toast again makes you want to crawl back under the covers.

Just reach into your freezer!

It’s on those days you’ll be glad you meal prepped a batch of these freezer friendly sandwiches. We’ve talked about it before, so you are well aware how much I LOVE a meal prep breakfast. Lunch is great but remade breakfast is where it’s at! Having homemade breakfast sandwiches on hand is a life saver and most importantly, a time saver.

For example, Pat reheats one of these on workdays because he wakes up early without time to eat. This way he can reheat it and eat it on his way into work.

Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches

Start your morning off right with these wholesome Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches! English muffins are toasted and topped with homemade turkey sausage, scrambled egg and cheese! Great for meal prep!! These sammies are freezer friendly and reheat easily!

Ingredients

  • olive oil spray
  • 6 large eggs
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 recipe turkey breakfast sausage
  • 3 slices cheddar cheese, cut in half
  • 3 slices pepper jack cheese, cut in half
  • 6 english muffins, halved

Instructions 

MAKE THE EGGS:

  • Preheat your oven to 350℉ (or 180℃) and lightly spray a silicone mold (set into a rimmed baking sheet) with nonstick spray.
  • In a liquid measuring cup, crack and add in the eggs. Whisk well to thoroughly scramble. Divide egg mixture into the wells of the silicone mold and season with a pinch of salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Bake for 10 minutes (rotating the pan half way through) or until set.

MAKE THE BREAKFAST SAUSAGE:

  • Combine the ingredients for the low fat turkey sausage (linked in ingredient list). Then measure and divide into 6 (1/3 cup) portions. Gently shape into large meatballs.
  • Place one portion onto a piece of wax paper and cover with a second piece of wax paper. Next press flat using either a mallet or the flat side of a drinking glass. Set aside and repeat with a second patty. I use new wax paper as well.
  • Heat a teaspoon of oil in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Once hot, working batches of 2, cooking the patties for 3 to 4 minutes a side. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and repeat with the second batch. Allow the sausage patties to cool if meal prepping and planning on freezing.

BUILD THE BREAKFAST SANDWICHES:

  • Cut the english muffins in half. I like to use sourdough, but you can use your favorite. If making these to eat right away, I would toast them. If freezing, I do not.
  • On the bottom half of each english muffin, stack with an egg round, breakfast patty and a half slice of both cheddar and pepper jack cheese - or use any cheese you like and then top with the top half of the English muffin. Pop it into the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds or until the cheese has melted.
