FAQs

How to make your own breakfast sandwiches and freeze them? ›

Assemble the sandwiches: Lay the bottom halves of the English muffins in a row on your counter. Top each one with an egg round, a slice of cheese, and 2 pieces of bacon (if using). Finish by adding the muffin tops. Wrap the sandwiches for freezing: Wrap each sandwich in a square of aluminum foil.

The secret is to cook the eggs in a round egg ring. Set the ring on a hot pan, crack in an egg and let it cook. The finished egg is the perfect size and shape to fit on an English muffin.

How do you keep frozen breakfast sandwiches from getting soggy? To keep freezer breakfast sandwiches fresh and crispy, be sure to wrap each sandwich individually with parchment paper or aluminum foil before storing them in a freezer bag.

To assemble sandwiches, spread insides of English muffins with butter. Fill each English muffin with 1 egg, 1 slice Cheddar cheese and 2 slices Canadian bacon. Wrap each tightly with plastic wrap. Store in freezer up to 2 months, or in the fridge up to 1 week.

Squish out as much air as possible before sealing them. Lay the sandwiches in a single layer in the freezer on a cookie sheet or other flat surface and freeze them for about an hour until they hold their shape. Then place the sandwich bags in a larger freezer-quality bag, such as a gallon freezer bag.

In a small frypan, put in the white first, and swirl so that it covers the bottom of the pan, and put the yolk dead center. Add a few drops of water and put on a lid to finish cooking. Voila. Round egg.

Wrap each sandwich individually in tinfoil, wax paper, or parchment paper and place them in a freezer safe resealable bag. Freeze for up to 1 month.

One tip. I toast the English Muffins ahead for two reasons. First, it dehydrates the bread so it freezes better. Second, you can easily reheat the whole sandwich and be on your way.

Oven: Similarly, microwave the Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches for 30 seconds or thaw them overnight. Bake them in the oven at 360°F for 5-10 minutes, until heated through and the English muffin is crispy.

You can safely refreeze frozen food that has thawed—raw or cooked, although there may be a loss of quality due to the moisture lost through thawing. To safely refreeze, the thawed product must have been kept cold at 40 degrees or below for no more than 3-4 days.

Can you air fry a frozen breakfast sandwich? ›

Can I air fry a pre-frozen breakfast sandwich? Yes! If you happen to buy a pack of frozen breakfast sandwiches (such as Jimmy Dean) simply separate it into two halves (sausage on one side, egg on the other), add any other toppings you want and air fry for about 8 minutes!

Worst: Jimmy Dean Sausage, Egg & Cheese Cheddar Biscuit Sandwiches. This breakfast sandwich is made with a cheddar-baked biscuit filled with sausage, eggs, and cheese. Biscuits tend to be made with ingredients that are high in saturated fat, reflected by the 55% of the recommended daily maximum of saturated fat.

Allow egg sandwiches to cool for 20 minutes before wrapping each one with foil. Place wrapped sandwiches back on the baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer sandwiches to a large plastic zip-top bag or another freezer-safe container for storage. Store up to 3 months in the freezer.

If you plan to store them for more than three days, freeze them. Sandwiches made with hearty ingredients like hard cheeses and deli meats are perfect candidates for freezing, but ones made with more delicate ingredients (such as soft cheeses) are not the best bet.

Wrap each sandwich individually in tinfoil, wax paper, or parchment paper and place them in a freezer safe resealable bag. Freeze for up to 1 month.

Sandwiches that freeze well include peanut butter and jelly, sunflower seed butter and jam, chia seed jam and cream cheese, hummus, DIY Uncrustables, and any deli meat and sliced cheese.
