Homemade Breakfast Sandwiches

Homemade Breakfast Sandwiches: Easy, Affordable, and Delicious

My husband and I love the frozen breakfast sandwiches from the grocery store, but they can get quite pricey with only four in a box. So, I decided to make my own, which turned out to be super easy and much cheaper! Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

• 12 eggs
• 12 pork sausage patties (Kroger brand recommended)
• 12 English muffins
• 12 slices of cheese
• Olive oil (for coating molds)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Eggs:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (375°F for convection).
• Coat the molds with olive oil to prevent sticking.
• Crack an egg into each mold.
• Bake for 17 minutes for fully cooked yolks. For a runny yolk, reduce the baking time.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper on each egg to taste.

1. Cook the Sausage Patties:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F.
• Place the sausage patties on a sheet pan.
• Cook according to package instructions or until fully cooked, usually about 10-12 minutes.

1. Toast the English Muffins:

• Slice the English muffins in half.
• Lightly toast them in a toaster or oven to your preferred level of crispiness.

1. Assemble the Sandwiches:

• On each English muffin, place a cooked sausage patty, a baked egg, and a slice of cheese.
• Top with the other half of the English muffin.

1. Storage:

• Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
• Store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.

Reheating Instructions:

• For refrigerated sandwiches, microwave wrapped in a paper towel for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
• For frozen sandwiches, microwave for 2-3 minutes, checking halfway to ensure even heating.

Tips and Variations:

• Healthier Options: Use turkey sausage or a plant-based sausage alternative for a lower-fat option. Whole wheat English muffins and reduced-fat cheese can also make the sandwiches healthier.
• Customization: Add a slice of tomato, avocado, or spinach for added flavor and nutrients.
• Cheese Variety: Experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack, to find your favorite combination.
• Batch Cooking: Make a larger batch and freeze them for easy, grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the month.

Enjoy your homemade breakfast sandwiches! They are not only cost-effective but also customizable to your taste. Perfect for busy mornings or a quick snack anytime.
