Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches
Easy, make-ahead freezer-friendly sandwiches, perfect for breakfast-on-the-go! Ready in just 2 minutes!
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but who really has the time to make breakfast?
When I was working a full-time 9-5 office gig, I barely had time to shower before I ran out the door to sit in the usual 1-hr commute.
That’s when I’d munching on some dry cereal. It never really hit the spot, and I was always counting down the seconds until my lunch break, all the while my stomach was grumbling very loudly.
But now these breakfast sandwiches. Man, oh man. I could probably live off of these sandwiches for the rest of my life.
Just think of these as the healthy version of McDonalds McMuffins, except they taste 10000x better. Plus, you can make them ahead of time and pop them right into the freezer.
Now I was never the biggest fan of using the freezer until I made these. You wouldn’t believe how amazing these sandwiches still tasted after being frozen. It tasted the same as when they were first made!
Best of all, you can nuke these sandwiches between 1-2 minutes right in the microwave, no defrosting necessary. From there, you’ll have a piping hot, cheesy breakfast sandwich ready for you in the hectic morning.
With these, you’ll always have time for a hearty breakfast meal. Or if you’re like us, you’ll be munching on these for dinner with a side of tater tots and bacon!
Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 6 English muffins, split
- 12 slices deli-sliced ham
- 6 slices cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil six 10-ounce ramekins or coat with nonstick spray and place onto a baking sheet.
- Add one egg to each ramekin, beating slightly; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place into oven and bake until egg whites are cooked through, about 12-14 minutes.
- Place one egg over the muffin bottom. Top with 2 slices ham and 1 slice cheese, and then cover with another muffin top to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining English muffins to make 6 sandwiches. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in the freezer.
- To reheat, remove plastic wrap from the frozen sandwich and wrap in a paper towel. Place into microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through completely.
- Serve immediately.

Hello- I was looking for the calories and such and do not see it at the end of recipe. I looked several times. Can you advise. BTW, I love all your recipes! Bobbie
I’ve made a few batches of these and they’ve been a big hit in our house. I have used both ramekins and jumbo muffin tins, sprayed well with canola oil cooking spray. No issues with the egg sticking. I bake bacon in the oven. When we reheat the sandwiches, we first tap off any ice crystals that have formed, wrap in a paper towel and microwave. The paper towel seems to collect any excess moisture. We have also tested finishing them off (after a quick microwave) in the air fryer, which helps to crisp them up a bit.
What temp and how long did you reheat these in the air fryer? Love these! I have 4 kids. These were a huge hit with everyone.
My kids love this
Would using a muffin tin work instead of ramekin?
When you say to wrap it in a paper towel to reheat should it be a damp paper towel like when steaming corn tortillas? Or just a fry one?
Oops, meant to say “dry” not fry.
Could I add cooked mushrooms, onions, and peppers to these? I like to get in vegetables at every meal.
I was looking for a savory, quick breakfast – and this was perfect! I didn’t have ramekins, so just poured the eggs into a 9” x 13” then cut into 12 squares to make 12 sandwiches. I did use 15 eggs instead of 12. Also, I used baking paper in my tray, as I saw many people had issues with the egg sticking – this was perfect bc I could pop the paper out to let the eggs cool quicker. I had the same issue as others where the egg was frozen while everything else was hot – using 50% power did fix this, but I realized just thawing one overnight in the fridge is much easier. Just 30 seconds on each side, and then good to go!
Oiled one batch; Pam sprayed another 6 ramekins and still the eggs stuck. what to do?
Oh no – what a bummer! PAM should have done the trick. What kind of ramekins did you use?
There’s a cooking spray called Bakers Joy that’s much better then Pam! Give that a shot.
Question before I make this, what size Ramirez’s did you use? I’m ordering some as this looks so easy and good!
10 ounces. 🙂
My sandwiches came out super freezer burnt! How do I avoid this next time?
To prevent freezer burn, you want to reduce the food’s exposure to air, squeezing out any excess air before sealing. I hope that helps!
Do you toast your English muffins first
No, they were not toasted but you can certainly toast them if that’s what you prefer. 🙂
Made these on Sunday and have eaten them these past two mornings. Easy, tasty, convenient and heat up nicely in the microwave. Will continue to make these.
So glad you’re enjoying them!
I made these and they were so easy! I made for an upcoming “camping” trip!
Thanks!
Great!
I LOVE this but every time I hear it up the English muffins are so hard! Any way to remedy this?! I’ve tried different heating times but then it’s not heated thoroughly 🙁 please help because this is such a great idea!!
I find that reheating in the oven is best! 🙂
In the oven what temp should I cook at and for how long?
Allow to thaw in refrigerator overnight, then reheat on medium power for 30 seconds on one side, flip over, 30 seconds on next side at 50% power, and you should be good. if that isn’t hot enough for you, just heat at 15 seconds on high, test it, flip and do another 15 if you have to. Should be soft and perfect.
Has anyone tried using these for camping? What were the methods you used for heating? Foil and fire pit? Grill? Thanks so much in advance!
This recipe was great, but I had one problem. My eggs were green the next day. I used a silicone baking pan and wrapped the sandwiches tightly with Glad Press ‘n Seal wrap and putting them right in the freezer overnight. I removed them and put them in an insulated lunchbox for my 15 minute commute, went to heat one up an hour later and the egg was green. Any ideas as to what I might have done wrong or what might have happened?
Oh no – what a bummer! That sometimes happens when eggs have been cooked for too long or at too high a temperature.
Greetings & Thanks for this terrific recipe. I’m gonna try these for next week’s fast breakfast . One question: 1) We don’t microwave so how long in an oven at what temp?
Thanks in advance
You can use a convection oven, although that would take about 20-25 minutes to reheat.
Hi there, these look great!! Do you happen to know what the calorie value for each sandwich would be please?
I would love to have these all the time but not sure all that bread would be too good for me!
Many thanks 🙂
The nutritional information is listed below the recipe. 🙂
Oh gosh yes – so sorry I should have had a better look! Thank you 🙂
Would these also work with wholemeal english muffins?
Yes, absolutely.
I just made these last night (and yeah they rock!). I used the Thomas original whole grain english muffins and everything is perfect.
What a great idea! I love it! I’m sharing it with my readers today. Thanks for a delicious recipe!
Made these last night and my husband and I each grabbed one this morning on our way out Delicious. So easy and so convenient. Healthier, Tastier, and Cheaper then the drive-thru! I will continue to have these stocked in my freezer. Thank you for sharing.
