How to Freeze and Reheat Breakfast Sandwiches
If you’re going to make one batch of these, you might as well make more and fill your freezer. They are so handy to pull out for a quick breakfast or lunch. Here’s how to freeze and reheat your breakfast sandwiches for the best results.
Freeze For Later
Build your sandwiches and wrap each one in foil, but do not warm them up. Place the individually-wrapped sandwiches in a gallon-sized freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
Prepare From Frozen
There are three options for thawing and warming these sandwiches.
Option 1 (preferred method): Thaw in refrigerator for 24 hours. Remove foil and wrap in a moist paper towel. Microwave in 30 second intervals, until warmed through (about 1-2 minutes).
Option 2: From frozen, remove foil and wrap frozen sandwich in a moist paper towel. Microwave for 1 minute and then in 30 second intervals, until warmed through.
Option 3: From frozen, place foil-wrapped sandwiches in 350° F oven for about 30 minutes or until warmed through.

Ingredients
- 9 whole wheat English muffins
- 4–5 tablespoons butter, softened (optional)
- cooking spray
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (your choice of milk)

Instructions
Make It Now:
- Adjust the top oven rack to 6 inches below the broiler. Turn the broiler on high.
- Set the English muffins on a sheet pan and open them up with the insides facing up. Spread a little softened butter on the insides (optional). Toast under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, just until toasted. Keep a close eye on them.
- Turn off the broiler and preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a 9×9 inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture into the casserole dish.
- Place the casserole dish on the middle oven rack. Bake the eggs for 20 minutes, or until set in the middle. Let cool slightly and slice into 9 equal squares.
- To assemble the sandwiches, top each muffin bottom with one egg square, one cheese slice, and 1-2 slices of Burgers’ Smokehouse Bacon that have been broken in half. Place the muffin top on and wrap the sandwich tightly in foil. (Freezing instructions begin here.)
- If eating immediately, warm the foil-wrapped sandwiches in the oven for about 5 minutes, or microwave uncovered (no foil!) for 30 seconds, until cheese is melted.
Freeze For Later: Follow directions through Step 6. Place the individually-wrapped sandwiches in a gallon-sized freezer bag and freeze.

Good morning my wonderful and loving Thriving home family.. As many of you know , our beautiful 14 year old daughter who has special needs and is just about to graduate 8th grade life skills in may and will start high school in the fall here in kingwood, tx.. yesterday morning i wanted to try something different for breakfast before her bus came and decided to heat up one the frozen turkey sausage and egg sandwiches from Walmart and she liked it but their English muffin was a little tough. Any ways i found your delicious breakfast sandwich recipe and was wondering if i could replace the cooked bacon with breakfast sausage even though she likes bacon just may not like it all of the time even though my husband and I like either one..
God bless you all..
Hi Lydia! I’m sorry we didn’t respond to this question yesterday. Yes! You can sub different meat on the Breakfast Sandwiches for sure! If you want it to still be a quick breakfast, the sausage patties would need to be fully cooked before frozen and assembled. And they they would need to be thawed longer than bacon before reheating. But I am confident you can find a patty that your daughter likes and a way to prepare it that makes it a grab-and-go breakfast for you! Blessings to you and your family Lydia!
Just made these for a new mama friend (and doubled for us just because, duh!) and they were easy and fun to make! I will note the yield says 6 but ingredients list 9 muffins and the 9×9 pan is easily cut into 9 pieces so I think that might e off. I ended up 1.5x-ing the recipe to use the 12 muffins in the 2 packages I got and will just save the extra eggs for toddler breakfasts 💪

Hi Jen. I’m not seeing where it says the yield is 6. Were you looking at a printed recipe perhaps? We appreciate your feedback.
Hey Carla, I saw Jen’s comment and updated the recipe. She was right! Thanks for letting us know, Jen!!
My family is excited to eat breakfast when I make these sandwiches. Thanks for a great recipe!

So great to hear that, Kim. Thanks for the review!
Do you let everything cool before assesmbling? I would imagine it could get soggy with the moisture that is trapped in the tin foil prior to it being frozen.
Yes, it’s a good idea to let it cool first. That’s a good rule of thumb with all freezer meals, actually.
The recipe sounds and looks so yummy and delicious ..
Could we use egg whites for the scrambled eggs ?
With all of your recipes that I’ve found can definately help my family eat better especially with a soon to be 8 year old princess on the Autsim scale who is not picky all of time ,just when we want her to eat..
Bless you both..
I think egg whites would work perfectly fine! I’m so glad to hear our recipes are helpful, especially with a little girl who needs a little extra love and attention. Let us know if you have questions!
