If your mornings are busy (same here 🙋‍♀️), these make ahead breakfast sandwiches are about to save your life. They’re warm, cheesy, protein-packed, and ready in minutes—no drive-thru required. Make a batch once, stash them in the freezer, and you’ve got breakfast handled for the entire week (or longer!).

Bonus: you can totally customize them with whatever your family loves. Our family loves breakfast sandwiches. I love these because I can easily make a croissant, bacon, egg and cheese batch for my son. Or, a biscuit, egg, sausage and cheese for my husband. The sandwiches in this post are my personal favorite: English muffin, egg, spinach, cheese and chicken sausage. Yum!

These sandwiches makes weekday breakfasts a breeze! In a hurry? They are easy to take to go. The eggs are baked in a casserole dish, which is the simplest way you’ve ever made eggs, plus they cut into perfectly stackable squares.

Meal prep has never been easier!

Ingredients

9×13 Baking Dish
Nonstick spray
12 eggs
1/4 cup milk (any)
Seasonings- salt & pepper- feel free to add any other seasonings you like
2 cups spinach (optional)
12 English muffins- you can also use biscuits, croissants or even pancakes
12 precooked sausage patties- I’m using maple flavored chicken sausage. You can use cooked bacon strips, Canadian bacon, ham or omit the meat.
12 slices cheese (any kind you love!)
Parchment paper or foil to wrap the sandwiches

How To Make It

1. Bake the Eggs

Preheat your oven to 325°F and generously grease a 9×13-inch pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. (Pro tip: use a hand mixer for extra fluffy eggs!)

Stir in the spinach, then pour the mixture into your prepared pan.

Bake for 18–22 minutes, just until the center is set. Don’t overbake—you want soft, fluffy eggs!

Let cool completely, then cut into 12 squares.

2. Assemble the Sandwiches

Layer each sandwich like this:

Bottom half of English muffin
Egg square
Cheese slice
Sausage (or bacon/ham)
Top half of English muffin

If eating right away, pop them in a 350°F oven or toaster oven for about 5 minutes until warm and melty.

How to Freeze Breakfast Sandwiches

Once assembled:

Wrap each sandwich individually in foil, parchment paper, or wax paper
Place wrapped sandwiches in a freezer-safe zip-top bag. Label the bag so you don’t forget what’s inside!
Freeze for up to 1 month

Tips for the Best Breakfast Sandwiches

Don’t overcook the eggs – they’ll cook more when reheated
Let everything cool before assembling to prevent soggy sandwiches
Switch up the cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, Swiss all work great!)
Switch up the meat: try Canadian bacon, ham, or cooked bacon slices

FAQs

Can I use scrambled eggs instead of baking them?
You can, but baking makes it much easier to portion and assemble evenly.

How long do these last in the freezer?
Up to 1 month for best texture and flavor.

Can I use bagels or croissants instead of English muffins?
Yes! Just know croissants are softer and may not hold up as well in the freezer.

Can I make these dairy-free?
Absolutely—skip the cheese or use a dairy-free alternative.

Why are my sandwiches soggy?
This usually happens if they’re wrapped while still warm—make sure everything cools first!
