Homemade Breakfast Sandwiches: A Delicious and Cost-Effective Alternative

My husband and I have always enjoyed the convenience of frozen breakfast sandwiches from the grocery store, but the cost can add up quickly—especially when you’re only getting four sandwiches per box. That’s why I decided to make my own! Not only are they super easy to prepare, but they’re also much more affordable. For about $10, you can make a dozen sandwiches! These homemade breakfast sandwiches feature eggs, pork sausage patties, English muffins, and sliced cheese. They’re perfect for a quick and satisfying breakfast.

Ingredients:

12 eggs
12 pork sausage patties (Kroger brand recommended)
12 English muffins
12 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or your favorite)
Olive oil (for greasing)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (375°F for convection).
Cook the Sausage Patties:
- Place the pork sausage patties on a sheet pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fully cooked. Check the package instructions for exact cooking times.
Bake the Eggs:
- Lightly coat egg molds or a muffin tin with olive oil.
- Crack an egg into each mold. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake in the oven for 17 minutes. If you prefer a runny yolk, reduce the baking time slightly.
Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Split the English muffins and lightly toast them if desired.
- Place a sausage patty on the bottom half of each English muffin.
- Top each patty with a baked egg.
- Add a slice of cheese on top of the egg.
- Cover with the top half of the English muffin.
Store and Reheat:
- Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
- Store the sandwiches in the refrigerator if you plan to eat them within a few days. For longer storage, place them in the freezer.
Reheating:
- To reheat, remove the sandwich from the plastic wrap or foil.
- Wrap the sandwich in a paper towel.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds. This reheating method ensures the sandwiches stay moist and delicious.
