Believe me, I’ve been there. One particularly hectic morning, I was running late for work and realized I had nothing to eat for breakfast.
In a desperate attempt to avoid a ‘hangry’ meltdown at my desk, I threw together a sandwich with whatever I could find in my fridge; some leftover chicken, cheese, and a sad tomato. It wasn’t exactly gourmet, but it did the trick.
And that’s how I discovered this recipe for my make-ahead breakfast sandwiches!

These sandwiches are also a great option for busy families. If your kids are like mine, they’re always on the go in the mornings. These sandwiches are a great way to give them a quick and easy breakfast that they’ll actually eat.
Besides being easy and convenient, these sandwiches are also healthy and delicious. They’re made with whole-wheat bread, lean protein, and fresh vegetables. So you can feel good about giving them to your family, and you’ll know they’re starting their day off right.
Now I can always have a delicious and nutritious breakfast on hand, even on the busiest mornings, and I am going to share my recipe with you. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

Ingredients
Liquid Egg Whites
The liquid egg whites are like the Hulk of the egg world, protein-packed and ready to transform your meal. FYI: a single egg contains all nine essential amino acids? Just thought you’ll should know.
Frozen Chicken or Turkey Sausage Patties
I once tried to impress my friends with my cooking skills by making breakfast sandwiches from scratch. Let’s just say it was a horrible mistake of epic dis-proportions. Thankfully, these pre-made patties saved me from future culinary disasters.
English Muffins
These muffins hold up to all the delicious fillings, making a sturdy foundation for your masterpiece of a sandwich by ensuring a satisfying single bite every time.
It was an accidental discovery and I have tried other replacement muffins but the English muffins are the best so far.
American Cheese
This is my, and most people’s classic choice for a reason. This melty cheese adds a creamy, indulgent flavor to your breakfast sandwich.
Everything Bagel Seasoning
A sprinkle of this flavorful seasoning uplifts the game of taste by adding a delightful crunch and savory taste that will have you coming back for more.
Recipe
Preheat your oven to 350°F to start with this recipe. While the oven gets nice and toasty, grab a donut pan and spray it with some nonstick cooking spray. We want those precious egg white circles to slip out easily later.
Crack open those eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. I hate food waste so I recommend saving the yolks for another dish and schedule it for lunch on the same day or next.
We’ll be using 1/4 cup of egg whites per sandwich, so pour that into each opening of the donut pan. Add a dash of your favorite seasoning to each egg white circle.
Pop the pan in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set. Wait patiently to get that perfectly cooked breakfast sandwich base.
While the egg whites are baking, we can tackle the rest of the ingredients. Heat up your favorite breakfast sausage patties according to package instructions. You can go for chicken or turkey, whichever suits your fancy. Don’t forget to toast your English muffins, because nobody likes a soggy breakfast.
Once the egg whites are done, layer a cooked egg white circle on a toasted English muffin, then add a sizzling sausage patty. Top it all off with a slice of melty cheese (American is a classic, but feel free to get creative!).

What Makes This Recipe Special?
The beauty of this recipe is that you can make these sandwiches ahead of time. Wrap each one individually in plastic wrap and then foil to create a breakfast burrito of sorts. Stash them in a freezer bag and they’ll stay good for months!
When you’re ready to enjoy your breakfast masterpiece, thaw the sandwich overnight in the refrigerator or for 30 minutes at room temperature. Nuke it for about 45 seconds to 1 minute to get things started, then give it a final toast in a toaster oven, conventional oven, or air fryer at 375°F to 400°F for a few minutes.
And there, “You did it!”
Tips & Tricks
Tip # 1 – Evenly baked eggs
Preheating is key to evenly cooked egg whites, and nobody wants a runny situation in their breakfast sandwich.
Tip # 2 – Seasoning varieties
Don’t be afraid to experiment with different seasonings for your egg whites. Everything bagel seasoning, Italian seasoning, or even just a pinch of salt and pepper can add a delicious flavor boost.
Tip # 3 – Make it healthier with veggies
For a healthier and more flavorful breakfast sandwich, add some fresh vegetables, such as spinach, tomatoes, or avocado.
FAQs
Can I use regular eggs instead of egg whites?
Yes, you can use regular eggs, but keep in mind that they will be higher in calories and fat. Plus whisked egg whites only give a more fluffy-cloudy sandwich than a whole whisked egg.
How to ensure equal egg bites since I don’t like the big chunks?
Prepping your egg whites in a donut pan ensures perfectly portioned and evenly cooked bites. It’s a game-changer for efficient assembly!
How long do the breakfast sandwiches last in the freezer?
The breakfast sandwiches will last in the freezer for up to 3 months.
