These sausage, egg, and cheese sandwiches on English muffins are perfect for a quick grab-and-go breakfast. At only $0.82 per sandwich, they’re not just delicious, but also budget-friendly. Enjoy the satisfaction of a homemade breakfast with the convenience of a store-bought option. Here’s how to make them!
Ingredients:
- English muffins: 12, split and toasted
- Frozen sausage patties: 12, cooked
- Eggs: 12
- Milk: A splash, for scrambled eggs
- Salt and pepper: To taste
- Cheese slices: 12 (Provolone and Swiss recommended, but any cheese will work)
- Cooking spray: For the baking pan
Instructions:
- Toast the English Muffins: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Split the English muffins and place them on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.
- Cook the Sausage Patties: Arrange the frozen sausage patties on another baking sheet. Cook in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are fully cooked and browned.
- Prepare the Scrambled Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the 12 eggs, a splash of milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture into a 9×13 baking pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the eggs are cooked, cut them into 12 equal squares. On each toasted English muffin, place one egg square, one sausage patty, and one slice of cheese.
- Wrap and Freeze: Wrap each assembled sandwich in parchment paper. Place the wrapped sandwiches in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container for longer storage.

Reheating: To reheat, remove the parchment paper and wrap the sandwich in a damp paper towel. Microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes.
