Remember the goal I made at the start of the year to eat breakfast more? Well I’ve actually been doing pretty well! I’ve been doing my best to make smoothies and muffins and other things I don’t mind eating first thing in the AM. This recipe though, has taken my easy breakfasts to the next level! I love egg sandwiches, (yes even the crappy McDonald’s ones,) but I’m always too lazy to make something so involved when I’m tired and in need of caffeine. Luckily these require little to no effort at all so this little lady is eating breakfast! Miracles do happen.
Prepping these takes a few minutes, but once you have them all assembled, they can easily be frozen and reheated when you’re ready to eat them. The result is a crispy, melty, perfectly portioned breakfast. You can use any kind of cheese you like and add things like bacon/sausage, but I like mine with American Cheese. (I actually found Organic American Cheese- who knew?) Once the eggs are cooked and the sandwiches are assembled, wrap them in foil and freeze until you’re ready to eat them. 30 mins in the oven and a cup of coffee later, and you’re ready to go. I’m a breakfast person now!!

My sons favorite! Making them for a rainy day breakfast now!
Brilliant idea!
These look perfect! Yum!
Making these for guys today!
This is such a good idea. I love egg sandwiches – and its great to know you can store these for later.
Hey Lisa! I did not toast mine. Since I was planning on baking them in the ken before serving, I figured that would get them crispy enough. Enjoy! :)
Do you toast the english muffins? This is such a great idea.
Oh my gosh this is SUCH a good idea. Putting the eggs in the muffin cups is genius. Great job on eating more breakfast :)
And you can keep it on the freeze??? Wonderful, just bake once and you can eat all the week, it make breakfast more easy, and that is what I need, the morning runs so fast when I have to go to work and have my kid ready for school..and of course…my husband..
I’ve never been a fan of soggy microwave re-heating either. These look mighty tasty!
Wow… That’s a great post! Will want to try this sometime for sure! My husband would love this! Thanks for sharing :)
Another winner. Never would have thought about eggs in a muffin pan..
What a great way to make Egg McMuffins!!! LOVE your new goal to eat more breakfast :)
I love getting new ideas for breakfast, and these look great!
“Organic” and “American Cheese” seem like an oxymoron. There’s just something so not-real about that rubbery cheese that it seems weird it could be organic. How funny. I guess we learn something new every day. :)
Nice! I love making my own breakfast english muffins :) Never thought to freeze them, though, very nice!
Wrapping them and freezing them is a great idea! Certainly does make getting out the door with breakfast in hand easier in the morning.
Oh my gosh, cooking the eggs in the muffin tins is genius! AND I can freeze them for later? Swoon.
I love the idea of making these ahead of time, great idea!
Yes! Thanks Maggie! :)
So fun! Can’t wait to have this on my plate!
wow nice idea for breakfast
I’ve been wanting to do this for so long! They look delicious. I eat an egg sandwich or oatmeal almost every day for breakfast, and this would save so much time. I know Macheesmo had this on his blog a couple years back…maybe the pin was from there?
