Meal Prep Breakfast Sandwiches are the ideal make-ahead morning solution. Baked eggs paired with your choice of bacon, sausage, or Canadian bacon, topped with cheese and served on a toasted English muffin—these sandwiches freeze well so you can simply grab one and go.
I’m not proud of how often I skip a proper breakfast. My alarm goes off early so I can make a healthy smoothie, but the snooze button usually wins. More often than not I end up with a large coffee and a cheese stick while rushing out the door.
We Need a Better Plan
Waiting in a drive-thru every morning or skipping breakfast doesn’t have to be the norm. Making a batch of Meal Prep Breakfast Sandwiches, wrapping them individually and freezing them gives you a hot, satisfying breakfast without the morning hassle.
Cooking breakfast on weekends is something I enjoy, but making full meals for one isn’t always worth the cleanup. These make-ahead sandwiches are a simple answer: bake, assemble, freeze, and you’ll have a quick hot breakfast ready all week long.

- Cheddar or American cheese
How to Make Meal Prep Breakfast Sandwiches
Preheat the oven to 375°F and spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, water, salt, pepper, onion powder, and parsley.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pan. Arrange your chosen breakfast meat on a separate non-stick baking sheet. Bake both the eggs and the meat for 20–25 minutes.
Remove from the oven. Gently turn the baked eggs out onto a cutting board and set the cooked meat aside. Use a round cookie cutter, biscuit cutter, or an upside-down glass that matches the size of your English muffins to cut six circles from the egg sheet.
Switch the oven to Broil and move the rack near the top. Split the English muffins and place them, cut side up, on a baking sheet or directly on the rack. Broil for 1–2 minutes to toast—watch closely to prevent burning.
Assemble each sandwich: toasted muffin, egg round, meat, and a slice of cheese. Serve immediately or prepare for freezing.
For freezing: allow sandwiches to cool completely. Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap, then place them together in a large zip-top freezer bag. Freeze for up to one month.
To reheat: remove the wrap, wrap the sandwich in a paper towel and microwave for 1–2 minutes. Alternatively, split the sandwich and toast the muffin separately while warming the filling.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Breakfast
- The baked egg will be puffy right out of the oven—let it rest a minute and it will settle.
- Customize each sandwich to suit family preferences so everyone gets what they like.
- Broiling multiple muffin halves at once saves time if your toaster has limited slots.
- To make a lighter version, use multi-grain English muffins, add vegetables to the eggs, or substitute egg whites—just increase the egg quantity if using whites only.
- Swap in turkey bacon, turkey sausage, or ham as desired.
- Label wrapped sandwiches if you make several varieties to avoid guessing later.
- These sandwiches are great for feeding a crowd during sleepovers or holidays—easy and crowd-pleasing.
