Required Kitchen Tools and Egg Preparation

Kitchen Tools You’ll Need

Having the right tools will make assembling these Meal Prep Breakfast Sandwiches a breeze:

1. Non-stick skillet or griddle – For cooking eggs and sausage patties evenly.
2. Mixing bowl – To whisk eggs with milk and seasoning.
3. Muffin rings or round molds (optional) – For perfectly round egg patties.
4. Toaster or oven – To lightly toast the English muffins.
5. Meal prep containers or freezer bags – For storing sandwiches.

Preparing the Eggs

Egg patties are the heart of any breakfast sandwich. Here’s how to make them:

1. Whisk the Eggs:
   Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk until combined.
2. Cook the Eggs:
   Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, cooking it like an omelet until set. If using molds, divide the egg mixture into portions for even circles.
3. Slice and Cool:
   Once cooked, cut the egg into 6 portions if not using molds. Let them cool completely before assembling the sandwiches.

Assembling the Breakfast Sandwiches

Now that the eggs are ready, it’s time to put together your Meal Prep Breakfast Sandwiches!

How to Assemble the Sandwiches

1. Toast the English Muffins:
   Lightly toast the English muffin halves in a toaster or oven until golden. This step helps prevent soggy sandwiches when reheating.
2. Cook the Sausage Patties (if using):
   In the same skillet, cook the sausage patties according to package instructions or until browned and cooked through.
3. Layer the Ingredients:
   Start building your sandwich:
   • Place the bottom half of the English muffin.
   • Add a slice of cheddar cheese.
   • Place the egg patty on top.
   • Add the sausage patty (or bacon strips).
   • Top with any optional add-ons like spinach or avocado.
   • Cover with the top half of the muffin.
4. Wrap for Storage:
   Wrap each sandwich in parchment paper or foil to keep them fresh and easy to reheat later.

Storage Instructions and Reheating Tips

Meal prep is all about making your mornings easier! Here’s how to store and reheat your breakfast sandwiches for maximum freshness.

How to Store the Sandwiches

1. Refrigeration (Short-Term Storage)
   • If you plan to eat the sandwiches within 3–4 days, store them in an airtight container or zip-top bag in the refrigerator.
2. Freezing (Long-Term Storage)
   • For longer storage (up to 3 months), wrap each sandwich in parchment paper or foil, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. This prevents freezer burn and keeps them fresh.

How to Reheat the Sandwiches

• From the Refrigerator:
  • Microwave for 30–40 seconds, or toast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes until warm.
• From Frozen:
  • Microwave on 50% power for 1 minute, then on full power for another 30–40 seconds.
  • For a crispier texture, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes or in an air fryer at 350°F for 6–8 minutes.
