Make Ahead Vegetarian Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches

The ultimate grab and go breakfast, these make ahead vegetarian freezer breakfast sandwiches have enough protein and a half servings of vegetables to keep you going through your morning.

I didn’t used to have a thing for breakfast sandwiches.

It was just eggs on bread and I didn’t quite get the appeal.

Then, I read how Julie from Peanut Butter Fingers put jelly on her breakfast sandwiches and it sounded like the perfect mix of sweet and savory.

Suddenly, breakfast sandwiches were all I could think about. I would order them when we went out for breakfast, make eggs in the microwave to through one together before work, and added them to all three of my pre-baby freezer meal cooking lists.

I thought mixing a couple eggs in a ramekin and putting it in the microwave was genius for those busy mornings when I needed breakfast on the go.

That is until I learned you can bake eggs in a sheet pan, assemble the sandwiches ahead of time, and freeze them. When you are ready for one, you nuke it for all of two minutes before you are out the door with deliciousness in hand.

These breakfast sandwiches are the ultimate on the go meal.

The reason they made it to my pre baby freezer meal list with all three kids is because they are easy to eat one handed and I could not burn them if the baby needed me.

Its one handed capabilities is the same reason they were one of my go to breakfasts for the morning commute to work. I would also opt for smoothies or chia pudding.

Substitutions

You can easily customize these make ahead vegetarian freezer breakfast sandwiches to your tastes and to what you have on hand.

Add different vegetables. I used chopped spinach and mushrooms in mine, but you can use bell peppers, onions, zucchini, or broccoli. Either way you are starting your day with a partial serving of vegetables.

Add meat. A slice of ham, turkey, or bacon is a quick and easy addition. I opted to keep mine vegetarian as a personal preference.

Change the bread. I have only tried these with English Muffins and as a burrito, but you can easily sub in your favorite bread like a bagel. Just be sure that type of bread freezes well.

Let your kids help! I am always looking for ways to get the kids to help in the kitchen (they love it) and this is a good recipe for that. The kids can mix the eggs, add the salt and pepper, push down the toaster, spread the jam, and top the egg circles with a slice of cheese and the English muffin top.
