Servings: 6

Equipment

4 egg rings

Step by Step Guide

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Set aside.

In the same skillet, cook the sausage patties until fully cooked. Remove and drain on paper towels. Set aside.

Heat a small non-stick pan or a pan with 4 egg rings over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

Crack an egg into each ring and season with salt and pepper.

Cook until the whites are set and the yolk is cooked to your preference (about 3-4 minutes). For firmer yolks, flip the eggs and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Remove from the pan and let cool slightly.

Place the bottom half of each English muffin on a clean surface.

Add a slice of cheese to each muffin half.

For 3 sandwiches, top with a cooked egg and two halves of bacon.

For the remaining 3 sandwiches, top with a cooked egg and a sausage patty.

Cover each with the top half of the English muffin.

Freeze:

Wrap each assembled sandwich in parchment paper.

Place the wrapped sandwiches in a large Ziploc bag or airtight container.

Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Reheat

To reheat, unwrap the sandwich from the parchment paper and wrap it in a paper towel.

Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through.

Alternatively, reheat in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for about 20 minutes, or until heated through.

Note

• Allow the cooked bacon, sausage, and eggs to cool completely before assembling to prevent condensation, which can make the sandwiches soggy when frozen.
• Customize your sandwiches with other ingredients like avocado, spinach, or hot sauce for added flavor.
• For a crispier muffin, you can toast the English muffin halves before assembling the sandwiches.
• For a healthier option, use whole wheat English muffins and substitute turkey bacon or turkey sausage.
