Homemade Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches

Why didn't I try this sooner?  

I have been eating a piece of wheat toast with peanut butter for breakfast for as long as I can remember.  

With the weather getting colder, I wanted something warm and hearty for the early morning.  It's dark when I wake up and it's still dark when I leave for work each morning.  There is no possible way I would ever wake up earlier (this girl needs her beauty rest) to actually cook me an egg and put this sandwich together.

That is why this Freezer version is perfect.  I prepared them on Sunday.  Then, each morning throughout the week, I grabbed one out of the freezer, wrapped in a paper towel and microwaved for a few minutes.  It doesn't take any longer than a piece of toast.  They really do taste great.  

All you do is crack your eggs into ramekins and season with salt and pepper.

Bake the eggs and remove from ramekins.  Put sandwiches together, then wrap in plastic wrap and freeze.  

Super fast and easy.

Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches

(Printable Recipe) or (Printable with Picture)

5 English muffins

5 large eggs

5 slices Cheddar cheese

10 thin slices deli ham

salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray 5 ramekins (or a jumbo muffin tin) with cooking spray and place on a cookie sheet.  Crack one egg into each ramekin.  Pierce each egg yolk with a fork and very slightly beat.  Season with salt and pepper (I like lots of pepper).  Bake eggs for 12-15 minutes or until set.  Remove from oven and cool slightly.  Run a knife around the edge of ramekin and flip over to remove eggs.  Allow to cool while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

Slice English muffins in half.  Layer each with one slice of cheese and two slices of ham and one cooked egg.  Top with other English muffin half.  Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in the freezer.

To reheat:  Remove plastic wrap from the frozen sandwich and wrap in a paper towel.  Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute, flip over and microwave for 1 more minute on regular power.   

Jenn's Notes: I think these taste great and they are a perfect on-the-go breakfast.  I ate mine plain, but they would be good with some ketchup or salsa.
