EASY FREEZER BREAKFAST SANDWICHES

Steps:

• To make the sausage patties, combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well. Form 4 patties and set aside.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan and fry the patties until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.
• To make the egg, whisk together the egg with the seasonings.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the butter. Allow to melt.
• Pour in the egg mixture and allow to cook until set through (you can place a lid on the pan and this will aid the cooking).
• Once cooked, slide the egg omelette out of the pan then cut out rounds with a large cookie cutter/round cup measure. Allow to cool.
• Assemble the sandwiches by layering the sausage, egg and cheese onto the toasted English muffins.
• Wrap first in baking/parchment paper and then in foil. Place in a freezer-proof container or freezer bags and place in the freezer for up to 1 month.
• To re-heat remove the foil and place the muffin in the baking paper on a plate. Heat for 2-3 minutes until the sandwich is defrosted and heated through. Serve immediately.

MAKE-AHEAD SPINACH AND MUSHROOM BREAKFAST SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or grease with butter.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted and beginning to brown; about 5 minutes. Add the spinach, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until spinach just begins to wilt, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and set aside to cool.
• Whisk the eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper together in a large bowl. Gently whisk in the cooled mushroom mixture, then pour the egg mixture into the prepared pan. Bake until puffed and set, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Place the English muffins cut-side up on a baking sheet and brush with some butter if using. Bake until slightly toasty, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, use a large round biscuit cutter (about 3 3/4 inches in diameter) or the rim of a juice glass to cut out 6 rounds of egg. (For ways to use the leftover egg scraps, see Cook's Note.) Using an offset spatula or a butter knife, remove each egg round from the pan and place on bottom half of an English muffin. Top each with a slice of Swiss cheese and the other muffin half. Wrap each sandwich individually with aluminum foil, put in a resealable plastic bag and freeze up to 1 month or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
• To reheat, unwrap a sandwich and place on a paper towel on a microwave-safe dish. Microwave 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and eggs are warmed through. Alternatively, thaw a foil-wrapped frozen sandwich overnight in the refrigerator, then bake in a 425-degree F oven until warmed through and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.

MAKE-AHEAD FREEZER BREAKFAST SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350℉.
• Grease a large, rimmed baking sheet with butter. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour whisked egg mixture into the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the egg is set and slightly puffed no longer jiggly in the center.
• While the eggs are baking, place 12 English muffin halves face-up on another large baking sheet. Top each with 1 slice of bacon (cut into 2 pieces) or a slice of ham. Top each muffin with a slice of cheese.
• Using a knife to cut the eggs into 12 equal portions. Top each muffin with an egg patty and the other half of the English muffin. 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.

MAKE AHEAD BREAKFAST SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Bake biscuits according to package directions.
• While biscuits are baking start browning sausage.
• In a mixing bowl combine eggs dry mustard and pepper.
• Add egg mixture to the browned sausage and cook until eggs are done.
• After biscuits have cooled cut them in half and spread with butter.
• Sprinkle buttered biscuits with garlic salt (DON'T add the salt to the eggs while they are cooking, the salt will make the eggs rubbery).
• Cut cheddar cheese slices into fourths.
• Put one fourth of cheese slice on bottom half of biscuit.
• Spoon a small amount of cooked egg and sausage mixture onto the bottom half of each biscuit (on top of cheese).
• Place another fourth of a cheese slice on top of the egg and sausage mixture (putting the cheese on this way "glues" the sandwich together when it is reheated).
• Place top of biscuit onto sandwich.
• Wrap each sandwich in wax paper and put them in large freezer bags.
• Place them in the freezer.
• To reheat, leave sandwich in wax paper and microwave on high for approximately one minute to a minute and a half.

MAKE-AHEAD BACON AND CHEESE BREAKFAST SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or grease with butter.
• Add the bacon to a cold medium skillet heat over medium heat. Cook, flipping occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
• Whisk the eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper together in a large bowl. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake until puffed and set, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Place the English muffins cut-side up on a baking sheet and brush with some butter if using. Bake until slightly toasty, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, use a large round biscuit cutter (about 3 3/4 inches in diameter) or the rim of a drinking glass to cut out 6 rounds. (For ways to use the leftover egg scraps, see Cook's Note.) Using an offset spatula or a butter knife, remove each egg round from the pan and place on bottom half of an English muffin. Top each with a slice of bacon, one slice of Cheddar and the other muffin half. Wrap each sandwich individually with aluminum foil, put in a resealable plastic bag and freeze up to 1 month or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
• To reheat, unwrap a sandwich and place on a paper towel on a microwave-safe dish. Microwave 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and eggs are warmed through. Alternatively, thaw a foil-wrapped frozen sandwich overnight in the refrigerator, then bake in a 425-degree F oven until warmed through and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.

FRIED EGG SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium high heat. Crack eggs in pan and cook to desired firmness. Just before eggs are cooked, place a slice of cheese over each egg.
• After cheese has melted, place each egg on a toasted slice of bread. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Spread mayonnaise and ketchup on remaining slices of bread and cover eggs with bread to make 4 sandwiches. Serve warm.

MAKE AHEAD BREAKFAST WRAPS (OAMC)

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a pan or on a greased rack over a sheet pan in the oven at 350 until done.
• Mix eggs (or egg substitute) with milk.
• In a large pan over medium heat, coat with cooking spray and scramble eggs. Allow them to cook until they are moist and tender but not dry. Add salt and pepper to taste. Allow to cool.
• To assemble, lay a tortilla flat, place one scoop of scrambled eggs, 2 tbs of shredded cheddar cheese, and one slice of bacon (I use a 1/4" measuring cup). Roll into shape.
• OAMC: Assemble wraps while contents are still warm. Wrap with waxed paper and allow to cool. Place into resealable bags, label, refrigerate or freeze.
• To reheat: Place wrap with waxed paper into microwave for 30 seconds on high, more if needed as microwave ovens vary greatly in power.

MAKE-AHEAD BREAKFAST SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Cook eggs in medium nonstick skillet on medium heat 2 to 3 min. or until set, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
• Cover bottom halves of muffins with Singles, ham, eggs, spinach and tomatoes.
• Spread mayo onto split sides of remaining muffin halves; place, mayo sides down, over sandwiches. Wrap individually in waxed paper or foil.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Place 1 unwrapped sandwich on microwaveable plate just before serving. Microwave on HIGH 1 min. or until heated through. Repeat with remaining sandwiches if necessary for additional servings.
