Freezer breakfast sandwiches are the ultimate grab-and-go breakfast idea that pack in both veggies and protein.
The Ultimate Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches
What is better than waking up to breakfast already being made? These freezer breakfast sandwiches are truly your breakfast meal prep solution and we can’t wait for you to make them.
The breakfast sandwiches are made with whole grain English muffins, a veggie and sausage egg patty, and cheese. All you need is 45 minutes and you’ve got a healthy breakfast for the next 12 days.
Why you’ll love them
The beauty of these freezer breakfast sandwiches is that:
- You only need to dirty one pan
- You’re basically prepping breakfast for the next 12 days. Yes, 12 days!
This recipe makes 12 breakfast sandwiches, so you’ll need 12 English muffins. If you really want to amp up your protein or need to eat more calories in the morning, you can totally double up your egg patties to serve 6.
How to Make Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches
Make Egg Patties
Make sure to scroll all the way down to the recipe card to get the full ingredient list and written recipe.
The basis of these amazing sandwiches are actually an egg patty that you bake on a baking sheet and cut into squares.
This egg batty is basically like one GIANT frittata and super simple to make. We wanted to make sure that these freezer breakfast sandwiches had veggies, protein, and a lot of flavors and that’s why we used:
- Pre-cooked breakfast sausage
- Sun-dried tomatoes
- Spinach
- Onion
- Garlic
Begin by broiling spinach and chopped breakfast sausage on a baking sheet.
Then, whisk your eggs and milk together and add the rest of the veggies to the baking sheet. Pour egg mixture on top and mix until everything is combined.
Bake at 350ºF for 18-22 minutes or until the egg mixture is firm in the middle. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing into 12 squares.
Assemble Breakfast Sandwiches
In order to assemble, place an egg patty square on one half of your English muffin and then top with a slice of cheese. Then, top with the other half. If you’re eating immediately, feel free to add a little hot sauce or any other toppings your heart desires.
Toast the English muffin or not? Good news, we tried both! And? They both work! Since these are freezer breakfast sandwiches, we actually prefer assembling them without toasting the bread. This is mostly because you need to reheat the sandwich once thawed and we found that the texture of the bread is better when the English muffin is not pre-toasted.
However, if you plan on eating these breakfast sandwiches immediately, we HIGHLY recommend giving them a toast in your toaster for ample tastiness.
Make A Simple Breakfast Sandwich Instead
Not into the bells and whistles of a complex breakfast sandwich? Keep things super simple with a simple egg and cheese breakfast sandwich!
How? Follow the same exact steps in making your sheet pan egg patty, but instead of adding in all of the fixings, you whisk together JUST eggs and milk. Then, bake, slice, and assemble! Check out the recipe card below for more details.

- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 12 links pre-cooked breakfast sausage, sliced
- 14 large eggs
- 1/3 cup milk, any kind
- 1/2 medium white onion, finely diced
- 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
Sausage, Sun-Dried Tomato, and Spinach Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches
- Frist, turn your broil function on high and generously spray an 18-inch by 13-inch baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or any oil (really grease up the pan to prevent sticking)!
- Then, place sausage and spinach onto the baking sheet. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil onto spinach and sprinkle with salt.
- Broil sausage and spinach for 4 minutes stirring half way. This will wilt your spinach and make it perfect for these sandwiches. Remove from oven and set your oven to 350ºF.
- Next, crack 14 eggs into a large bowl and add in 1/3 cup of milk. Whisk until scrambled.
- Add onion, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes to the baking sheet and mix with breakfast sausage and spinach. Then, pour on scrambled eggs and mix again until everything is submerged. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake at 350ºF for 18-22 minutes or until the eggs are firm in the middle.
- Remove egg bake from oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes.
- Now it’s time to prepare your breakfast sandwiches. Cut egg bake into 12 square patties. To create a sandwich, place an egg patty on one half on your English muffin. Then, top it with a slice of cheese, and then with the other half of the English muffin. Repeat until all egg patties have been used.
- Option to eat immediately (we recommend toasting your English muffin first if you do this) or freeze your breakfast sandwiches for later. To do so, tightly wrapping each sandwich in plastic wrap (be sure to remove as much air as possible), then wrap with tin foil and write the date of preparation so you don’t forget. Place in the freezer for up to 3 months.

In looking for menus to feed family when they all come for the Holidays, I decided to give this a try. It was an easy to follow recipe. Better still, it was delicious once frozen, thawed and broiled. The size is large enough to split or perfect for someone hungry. Thank you for this recipe!
Under the ingredients for Basic Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches, it lists 4 Dave’s Killer Bread Organic English muffins. Shouldn’t it be 12?
Love making these! Sometimes I’ll eat it as an egg casserole if I don’t have English muffins/toast on hand, and it’s still just as filling! And as the person in the last comment before mine says, it’s so easy to swap in and out different ingredients — I’ve also used sliced mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, diced bell pepper, etc. It’s very versatile.
Easy to change the toppings that you want… I did sausage and onion then added cheese, but you can definetly make it want you want.
Delicious breakfast.
The way your reheating from frozen instructions are written implies that a person can pull these out of the freezer and put them in the oven on low broil and have a nice hot sandwich in less than 10 minutes. However, this is not the case. Is your recommendation to defrost in the microwave and then put in the oven?
These are delicious !!!! Just started intermittent fasting, they are perfect for by Break from fasting!!! Love it and enjoy your posts.
Mary 🙂
Thank you!
I like your recipe and will certainly try it, however it is heavy on items that do not recycle. How about wrapping in those new reusable cloths that can be washed, etc?
Do you have a brand or type of cheese you recommend?
White cheddar is our favorite!
Quick question…
(And may be a dumb one)
We don’t have a microwave.
When you place the sandwich in the oven after being in the freezer, would you leave the plastic wrap on the sandwich?
Hey Lyn! For sure take the plastic wrap off and then re-wrap with tin foil before reheating in the oven!
Have you tried wrapping in tinfoil and storing them all in the same bag? How’d that work out? Do you chop the sausage before or after the broil?
Are you supposed to re-wrap before broiling? The blog says to unwrap and place on a baking sheet. I’m just confused because I broiled for 12 minutes, flipping and taking the sandwich apart.
