These Make Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches are a convenient and delicious way to start your day. Featuring fluffy baked eggs, melted cheese, savory turkey bacon, and buttery toasted English muffins, these sandwiches can be assembled in advance, frozen, and quickly reheated for a tasty homemade breakfast on busy mornings.

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 12 large eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Sandwich Assembly

  • 12 english muffins
  • 4 Tablespoons salted butter (melted)
  • 12 slices cooked turkey bacon
  • 12 slices pepperjack or cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Egg Base: In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper using a fork, whisk, or hand mixer. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the eggs are just set in the center. Be careful not to overcook. Allow the baked eggs to cool before cutting.
  3. Toast English Muffins: Split the English muffins and arrange the halves cut side up on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter. Toast in the oven for 5-8 minutes, or until lightly toasted and crisp around the edges.
  4. Assemble Sandwiches: Cut the cooled baked eggs into 12 squares. Top 12 English muffin halves with an egg square, a slice of cheese, and a slice of cooked turkey bacon. Then cover each with the remaining muffin halves to create sandwiches.
  5. Serve Warm or Store: For immediate eating, heat the assembled sandwiches in a 350°F (177°C) oven for 5 minutes until the cheese melts and sandwiches are warmed through.
  6. Freeze for Later: Individually wrap each sandwich with waxed paper, aluminum foil, or parchment paper. Place all wrapped sandwiches in a large ziplock bag and freeze for up to 1 month.
  7. Reheat from Frozen – Microwave: Unwrap a sandwich and wrap it in a paper towel. Microwave on defrost or 50% power for 1 minute. Flip the sandwich and microwave on full power for another 10-30 seconds until heated thoroughly.
  8. Reheat from Frozen – Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Wrap a sandwich in aluminum foil and bake for about 30 minutes until hot throughout. If you thaw the sandwich overnight in the fridge or defrost it in the microwave first, it only needs 10-15 minutes in the oven to be heated through.

Notes

  • Do not overbake the eggs; they should be just set to maintain fluffy texture.
  • You can substitute turkey bacon with regular bacon, ham, or sausage if preferred.
  • Butter brushing on English muffins adds flavor and crispness but can be omitted for lower fat option.
  • Freeze sandwiches individually to prevent sticking and for easier thawing.
  • Use paper towel when microwaving to avoid moisture buildup.
  • These sandwiches are perfect for meal prep and quick breakfasts.
