I don’t know about you, but I love an egg and cheese sandwich in the morning. However, the time to cook the egg and clean the pan often prevent me from having it. I have a solution for you!
Enter the “make ahead” breakfast sandwich!
There are a few options for making the eggs/cheese. I have been making them on a muffin top pan. I realize this was invented in the Seinfeld days, so they probably don’t exist anymore! You can make them in a regular muffin tin, although they won’t be as wide. The other option I’ve read about is to put eggs on a baking sheet and bake them that way, you just need to cut them apart.
Find instructions for eggs in a muffin tin here:
Once your egg is cooked, put a slice of cheese on it on the english muffin. If you’re eating it right then, you can add tomato or avocado to get some veggies into your morning. If you’re saving them for later, simply put in a container for the fridge, or wrap individually to place in the freezer. They are so easy to pull out and reheat!
I had one this morning and it went from the freezer, I unwrapped it, heated it for 45 seconds and ate it. Delish!!
