Muffin tin egg sandwiches are easy to whip up then freeze. Perfect for mornings when you are on the go.
I recently posted on my Facebook page that I was spending an hour making a bunch of freezer breakfasts for my daughter who has to be at work at 5 am this summer.
She’s been an absolute trooper about getting herself up and out the door in the morning.
Since I am still in bed at that hour, I wanted to have some healthy options for her that wouldn’t take a lot of time in the morning.
These Muffin Tin Egg Sandwiches are super easy to prepare.
Muffin Tin Egg Sandwiches
You start by cracking one egg into each muffin cup.
Once you’ve filled all 12 cups, lightly scramble the eggs. No need to go crazy, you are just looking to break up the yolk.
It’s optional, but we always add a tablespoon of grated sharp cheddar cheese to our eggs.
Plus, we really like to add about a tablespoon of green chiles. Again, it’s an optional ingredient.
Being from Colorado, we take our green chile pretty seriously. I buy the huge jars of 505 Southwestern Hatch Green Chile at our Costco. It’s out of this world good and makes these egg sandwiches so tasty!
If you can’t find it in your Costco, you can find it here.
Okay, enough about my love of green chile.

You are now ready to bake your eggs. They bake up super light and fluffy.
While the eggs are baking, you need to be cooking your bacon and slicing your English muffins.
Finally, once everything has cooked, you assemble your sandwiches.
I use one strip of bacon, torn in half, on each sandwich. Then I wrap them tightly in foil and slide them into a freezer safe bag.
I know I don’t have to tell you this – but don’t heat the sandwich in the foil, k?
We use foil because once the sandwich has been microwaved, it can be rewrapped for eating on the road and the foil helps keep it warm. Then it can be tossed in the recycling bin.
Here’s a super awesomesauce picture of how I freeze them. Ok, terrible picture but you totally get the idea now, right?
That’s it! It only takes about 30 minutes to complete 12 sandwiches!

I love having quick and easy meals in the freezer, don’t you?

I used to make these all the time for my hubby but I got out of the groove. May just have to get back in that groove.. he loved them.

Thank you for the suggestion! This is a great way for me to use leftover biscuits, English muffins, bagels, you name it, and make breakfast sandwiches ready for the freezer.
