Do you want delicious, homemade breakfast sandwiches prepped and ready for the entire week and made in less than an hour? Then you have to try this extremely easy breakfast sandwich meal prep recipe and grab the ingredients next time you are at the store.
Waking up in the morning knowing that a hot breakfast is already prepped is always something to look forward to.
The other day I was craving a hot breakfast and decided to stop by a local deli for a sandwich. I realized that they literally assembled the thing in 2 seconds and popped in in the microwave before handing it over to me.
And I thought to myself, “Self, you can do that for less money and with more nutritious ingredients.”
Ding! A lightbulb went off and that weekend I headed to the store to get the needed ingredients to meal prep breakfast sandwiches of my own.
Breakfast Sandwich Meal Prep Ingredients:
- Whole Wheat English Muffins (BOGO at Publix if you can snag them—I made some regular muffins for Brett)
- Cage-free or Free-range Eggs
- Good Cheese from the Deli
- Low Sodium Ham from the Deli
- Salt & Pepper from the pantry
- Non-stick Cooking Spray
Supplies:
- Aluminum Foil
- Cupcake Tin
Makes six sandwiches
It’s so easy to cook all the eggs at once in the oven. I sprayed the cupcake tin with a little non-stick cooking spray, cracked them open in each of the cupcake molds, sprinkled on salt and pepper, and baked them in the oven at 350 for 15-20 minutes.
While they baked, I laid out the aluminium foil and prepped the English muffins with the cheese and ham.
They were ready and waiting for the eggs!
I let the eggs cool a bit before finishing the assembly so the cheese wouldn’t melt prematurely.
Then topped off the sandwich and wrapped in foil.
I stored them in the freezer for the week to keep them fresh.
Enjoy Each Morning
To prepare these babies in the morning, cook on defrost for about 2 minutes. Check the center, and if it’s still frozen inside, nuke them on medium for another 30 seconds and they should come out perfectly!
These sandwiches turned out to be around $2 each. A 50% savings compared to the $3.93 sandwich I bought AND I know exactly what ingredients went into them.
I am already thinking of some interesting combos of this sandwich to try in the future! There are so many possibilities!
I’m doing this thanks!
