You guys, these sandwiches are the best food thing in my life right now. The eggs are baked to barely-set perfection in a sheet pan with crisped bacon and spinach, and they get tucked in under a blanket of melted white cheddar cheese and sandwiched between two crispy English muffin slices. And when you wrap them up with foil, stash them away in the fridge or freezer, toast them up on short / hungry notice, and maybe load them with a smashed avocado and a squeeze of sriracha because you are just that kind of person, it is simple magic. Real food meets convenience food meets YUMMY. The whole thing just works.

How To Make Meal Prep Breakfast Sandwiches (With Reheated Eggs That Are Actually Good)
It’s really simple. First, cook up some bacon and spinach (or kind of whatever you want – sausage, veggies, etc.) Mix it with your eggs. Pour it on a sheet pan and bake it gently – remember, barely set. Then use a jar lid or, I don’t know, a proper knife I guess? and cut the eggs into little rounds. Assemble sandwiches, wrap in foil, and voila. You’ve meal-prepped your way into the breakfast sandwich world, and your breakfasts (and lunches and dinners) will be so much better for it. Not to tell you what to do, but these breakfast sandwiches would also love you forever if you gave them a healthy smear of Magic Green Sauce or Garlic Butter Tomato Sauce. I mean, all those layers, plus a kick of zingy flavor? Right?

For a more toasted english muffin with crispy edges, you can unwrap it and open it back up (egg on one half, cheese on the other) and broil for 3-5 mins until heated and crispy.
Reheating From Frozen: You can either let it thaw in the fridge overnight and follow the instructions above, or leave it in the oven a little longer (about 30 mins). Cheese: I used a cheddar-gruyere blend I got at Trader Joe’s and it was LIFE. Egg Thickness: If you want a thicker egg layer, you can bake this in a quarter sheet pan – just bake for a bit longer (20-30 minutes) to make sure it’s done.
