Quick Tips and Variations For The Best English Muffin Sandwiches

Super customizable you can make these any way you want. Just make them!

  • Egg: Flipping the egg gives it an extra layer, if you want a thinner sandwich, do not flip it. But you do want eggs similar to the omelet consistency. This way they will stay on the English muffin better. You can also make a large amount of egg at once in the oven. Use 12 eggs, 2 Tablespoons of cream, and salt and pepper. Whisk till it’s super good and mixed. Place in a well-greased 9×13 pan and bake at 325 for 18-22 minutes. then cut into squares.
  • Meat Options: Sausage isn’t the only thing you can use. Bacon, Ham, or no meat at all are all good options.
  • Cheese: Not a fan of American, no problem you can use any kind of good melty cheese you’d like. Havarti, cheddar, swiss, pepper jack, and Colby jack are all good options.
  • Toasting: This is a must in my book. Toast the English muffins and lightly butter them before assembling. This will keep them from getting soggy when you freeze them. Also, place the cheese on last, place them on a cookie sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes or till cheese is good and melty. Remove from oven and top with the other half of the English Muffin.

How to Freeze English Muffin Breakfast Sandwiches

This is so worth the extra effort. If you are going to make one of the breakfast sandwiches, you might as well make a dozen or more for those times you really need a meal idea. These are so easy to freeze and reheat, it’s a real-time saver!

  • To Freeze: Wrap each sandwich in plastic, parchment, or tin foil and place in a gallon sealable freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Thaw: If you can thaw in the fridge overnight. Or remove the outer covering and wrap it in a paper towel. Heat the sandwich in the microwave at 50% for 40seconds to 1 min. Flip and repeat. Once warmed, heat it for 15 seconds on full power to heat it all the way through. They can also be heated in the oven at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes without the paper towel. Or in a toaster oven.

  1. Can this recipe do ahead of time? My family leaves at different times in the morning. Can I make it early in the morning, then put in the refrigerator, and my family can grab and heat it up later? Thank you
