Make a batch of these simple healthy breakfast sandwiches on Sunday and enjoy a hearty, warm breakfast all week long!<\/em><\/p>\n I know I should get to bed early. I try, I really do! But then something happens that keeps me up (and yes, that something <\/em>is often a show like The Bachelorette sucking me in and dragging out a storyline until all of a sudden, it’s 11pm!).<\/p>\n Lucky for me — and the girls — David is a super dad and when I’m moving slowly, he picks up the slack.<\/p>\n How that man does it sometimes, I have no idea.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Speaking of David, he has an odd schedule and spends a lot of time in the car. He\u2019s up early and can\u2019t always count on having time to eat lunch. He\u2019s not a big fast food fan, so I try to stock his car with easy-to-grab snacks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bars<\/span><\/a>, fruit<\/span><\/a>, almonds<\/span> <\/a>and extra waters. No-cooler-necessary snacks.<\/p>\n Being that he gets up and out early, I try to make sure he has a hot breakfast before he goes. You can call me a 1950s housewife, but knowing he has something decent to eat before his day starts makes me feel good.<\/p>\n \u2026however, waking up earlier than 6am to cook up eggs isn\u2019t happening. I guess I\u2019m not that<\/em> 1950s-ish.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n David is a big fan of my freezable breakfast burritos<\/a>, but they do take some time to assemble. I decided to experiment and loved how quickly these Sausage, Egg and Cheese sandwiches came together so quickly. David loved how they tasted.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These came together in about 5 minutes.<\/p>\n [Tweet “These make-ahead mom-McMuffins store in the freezer so you heat and eat in moments!”]<\/p>\n First, I cooked the eggs. You could baked them in muffins tins and they\u2019d be the right size, but I opted for stove top.<\/p>\n I cracked the eggs in a heated pan, making sure to break the yolks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once the bottom set, I added 1-2 Tbsp of water and covered the pan. I use this trick when I fry my eggs in the mornings<\/a>, too. It keeps the eggs from sticking and essentially steams the egg.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n While the eggs cooked, I slightly toasted each muffin, then set up my assembly station.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The muffins can be toasted or untoasted. If toasting, allow them to cool fully before assembling.<\/p>\n Once the eggs were cooked, I topped each one with cheese and allowed them to sit for a minute until slightly melted.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This helped the tops stick.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once mostly cool, I wrapped each sandwich in Saran wrap, then put them into a labeled freezer bag.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Voila!<\/p>\n To reheat, simply remove from plastic and loosely wrap in a paper towel. Microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated through.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nPrint<\/a><\/span>\n
