Common Questions
When storing these breakfast sandwiches in the fridge they will stay fresh for up to 4 days in an airtight container or zip-lock bag. I like to wrap my sandwiches in foil before placing them in the fridge or freezer.
You will want to use the same method for the freezer and you do the fridge for these sandwiches. Wrap the breakfast sandwiches in foil then place several in a freezer bag. I usually need 2-3 bags for all 12 sandwiches depending on how many I store in the fridge. When stored in the freezer the sandwiches will stay fresh for up to 3 months.
There are two options for re-warming these make ahead sandwiches: the oven or the microwave. Personally, I like using the microwave option because it is fast, but either works great.
When re-warming in the microwave remove the sandwich from the foil and wrap in several paper towels. Warm for 30-60 seconds or until warm from the fridge. When rewarming the sandwich from the freezer, warm the wrapped breakfast sandwich in paper towels on the defrost setting for 3-5 minutes or until warmed through.
Alternatively, you can re-warm the make ahead breakfast sandwiches in the oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and place the sandwich on a cookie sheet or baking dish still wrapped in the foil. It should take about 10 minutes to warm from the fridge and 20-30 minutes if going from the freezer.
I hope you love these easy Meal Prep Sandwiches for a quick breakfast on the go or easy last minute lunch or dinner. I love making a boat-load of these at a time and enjoying them for months. Both my son and I love these freezer breakfast sandwiches, so I hope your kiddos enjoy them too!

Do you put any sauce on them and do you toast the English muffins first?
Caitlyn Erhardt
I don't put sauce on before I freeze them, because I think it warms up weird. I add sauce if I want after I warm the sandwich up. I do not toast the English muffin before either. Hope that helps!
