As the kids are heading back to school and the mornings are getting hectic it’s time to start thinking about quick and easy breakfasts that pack a punch without sacrificing on healthiness and quality.   I don’t have kids but I like to eat a quick breakfast and these homemade Freezer Egg Muffin Sandwiches are one of my favorites. The initial cooking takes around 10 minutes and then you have a fresh, healthy breakfast all week.

My husband and I are big fans of the Petit Jean Meats Boneless Peppered Ham but they do make a non-peppered ham that is also delicious. Add some farm fresh eggs, a piece of cheese and a whole grain English Muffin and you’ve got a really yummy breakfast that also freezes and reheats well. Let’s make it!

Freezer Egg Muffin Sandwiches with Petit Jean Meats {Foodie Friday}

Makes 6

1 package whole grain English muffins
3 slices of Petit Jean Meats Peppered Ham
6 slices of cheese
6 whole eggs

Open the English muffins and lay them cut side up on a baking sheet. Toast under the broiler until they just begin to brown.

Place one piece of cheese on the top half of each muffin.

Lightly brown three slices of peppered ham until they are heated through.  Place 1/2 a slice of ham on the bottom half of each muffin.

Break 6 eggs into a bowl and blend with a fork. Melt one tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.  Pour in the eggs, give them a quick stir with a fork and then cover and cook over low heat until they are cooked through. Divide the large omelette-style egg into 6 pieces and place a piece ontop of each piece of ham.

Place the top half of the muffin onto the sandwich.

Enjoy a sandwich and place the remaining sandwiches, unwrapped, in the freezer for 20 minutes to cool.   Wrap each sandwich in a paper towel and place them in a freezer bag.  Freeze.

When you are ready to reheat, remove one sandwich from the bag and place it in the microwave still wrapped in the papertowel. Microwave on high about 1 minutes and serve. Add a piece of fruit and a glass of juice or milk for a well rounded breakfast.

If you are smart in your cheese and muffin selection your sandwich will be under 300 calories!

Enjoy!
