Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches (Meal Prep)
If mornings in your house are anything like mine, they move fast. These freezer breakfast sandwiches are one of the easiest ways to set yourself up for a stress-free week. You can make a full batch in about 30 minutes, freeze them, and reheat a hot, filling breakfast in minutes.
This version uses muffin tin eggs and a Jimmy Dean sausage roll, so it’s simple, hearty, and super family-friendly.

Cost Breakdown (Approx. Price Per Sandwich)
One of the biggest reasons I love making these freezer breakfast sandwiches is the cost savings. Even with grocery store prices, homemade comes out way cheaper than buying breakfast sandwiches all week.
Estimated Cost (Spokane / Yoke’s Fresh Market)
- English muffins (6-pack): ~$3.50–$4.50
- Jimmy Dean sausage roll: ~$4.00–$5.50
- Eggs (6 eggs): ~$1.25–$2.00
- Cheese slices (6): ~$1.50–$2.25
Approximate Total Cost (6 sandwiches)
~$10.25–$14.25
Approximate Cost Per Sandwich
✅ ~$1.70–$2.40 per sandwich
That’s a huge win compared to grabbing breakfast out — and you get a full week of breakfasts ready in the freezer.
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Eggs (baked in muffin tins)
- Jimmy Dean sausage roll
- Cheese slices
- English muffins (or bagels)
- Cooking spray or butter (for muffin tin)
- Parchment paper (for wrapping)
Optional add-ons:
- Hot sauce
- Spinach
- Avocado (add after reheating)
- Sriracha mayo
How to Make
1) Bake the Eggs
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Grease a muffin tin well with cooking spray or butter
- Crack 6 eggs into a bowl and whisk
- Pour evenly into muffin cups
- Bake 12–15 minutes, until set
2) Cook the Sausage
- Divide into 6 portions (shaped into patties)
- Cook the Jimmy Dean sausage roll in a skillet until browned and fully cooked
3) Toast the Muffins
Toast your English muffins until lightly golden. This helps them hold up better after freezing.
4) Assemble the Sandwiches
Layer:
- English muffin bottom
- Egg round
- Cheese slice
- Sausage patty
- English muffin top
5) Wrap and Freeze
- Wrap each sandwich in parchment paper
- Place in a freezer bag
- Freeze up to 2 months
6) Reheat
- Microwave: 60–90 seconds
- Air fryer: 350°F for 5–7 minutes
Tips
- Grease your muffin tin well so the eggs pop out clean (and look better for photos).
- Toasting the muffins helps prevent sogginess after reheating.
- Wrap in parchment, not foil (microwave-friendly).
- For the best texture, thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating (optional but great).
What to Serve With
- Fresh fruit
- Greek yogurt
- Hash browns
- Coffee or a protein smoothie
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a muffin tin well with cooking spray or butter.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until combined. Pour evenly into 6 muffin cups.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the eggs are set. Remove and let cool slightly, then pop out the egg rounds.
- Divide into 6 portions and shape into patties. Cook the Jimmy Dean sausage roll in a skillet until browned and fully cooked.
- Toast the English muffins until lightly golden.
- Assemble each sandwich: English muffin bottom, egg round, cheese slice, sausage patty, then English muffin top.
- Wrap each sandwich in parchment paper and place in a freezer-safe bag.
- Freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 60–90 seconds or in the air fryer at 350°F for 5–7 minutes.
Notes
- Toasting the muffins helps prevent sogginess after freezing.
- Parchment paper is best for wrapping because it’s microwave-safe and won’t stick.
- For best results, thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
