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