Welcome to the holy grail of breakfast meal prep! These Make Ahead Freezer Friendly Breakfast Sandwiches just happen to be super delicious, easy to prep, and they will save you so much time on busy mornings when your kid is asking you where everything is and you’ve lost your keys 15 times. You’re going to love having these ready to go in the fridge and/or freezer.
I’ve been making these freezer friendly breakfast sandwiches for quite a few years now, I love having them as a super easy and healthy (if you play your cards right) breakfast option. The best thing about these sandwiches is that they are completely customizable, I’ve done center cut bacon, turkey bacon, deli smoked ham, Canadian bacon, turkey, pork, or chicken sausage patties, or just egg & cheese! Just remember, depending on the sandwich filings you use the WW points and calories could be more or less!
Back when I shared this recipe for make ahead freezer friendly breakfast sandwiches originally about 5 years ago. Eric and I had been so busy that we had gotten into the habit of grabbing breakfast sandwiches in the drive thru. I was known for an Egg White Delight or a Subway Egg & Ham Flat Bread and Eric usually got sausage, egg and cheese anywhere that had it. These days a much more budget friendly and healthy option is my top priority!
I decided to do the math and see how much money we saved by not grabbing breakfast at Mcdonalds, Subway, Dunkin Donuts, Etc. to make 12 sandwiches It’s about $20.00! How many sandwiches can I get for 20 bucks? I think 4ish. Maybe 5, Depending on where you go. I’m calling that a serious win in the budgeting department. Two birds, one stone. Healthy and cheap!
Now I’ll stop talking your ears off and I’ll show you how to make these guys.
How to make Make Ahead Freezer Friendly Breakfast Sandwiches:
Start off by pouring about 3 cups of egg beaters into a 9×13 sheet pan or casserole dish. Make sure the pan is sprayed super well all over and on the edges with cooking spray. anI’ve done that multiple times Pop the pan into a 350 degree preheated oven for 20-22 minutes. Oven times can vary a bit with this step especially if you use a glass casserole dish. If the middle of the eggs are still jiggly and/or look uncooked. They need more time.
Note: You can totally use whole eggs if you want to, but for some reason. The cartons of either Egg Beaters or Egg Whites work much better and taste much better with this method of baking the eggs. So that’s what I recommend here for this particular recipe.
Fry up some bacon and set it aside and let it cool. I just love bacon. Don’t you?
After the eggs come out of the oven they will look a little something like this. See how the edges kind of release from the side of the pan? That’s exactly what you want. Cut the eggs into 12 squares.
Next, after I’ve let all the individual items cool completely. I create an “assembly line” and I start building sandwiches. This recipe makes 12 sandwiches.
IMPORTANT: These items need to completely cool before you make the sandwiches up. You can let them set on the counter for a bit or pop them in the fridge and come back for them later.
Layer your eggs, followed by bacon, and cheese (or whatever toppings you choose). Deli ham is also a very popular choice for these sandwiches and the prep time is even less. Freezes well, reheats well, and is still a lean and healthy protein to add!
There we go, all done! How delicious do these all look?
Last, use a small sheet of aluminum foil and wrap up the sandwiches one by one.
Now, Wrap’m all up and then stuff them back into the English muffin bags to keep them organized and compact.
These will stay good for 3 months in the freezer.
HOW TO REHEAT MAKE AHEAD BREAKFAST SANDWICHES (FROM FROZEN):
Take however many sandwiches you plan to eat over the next 4-5 days out of the freezer. Let them thaw at least 8 hours before making a sandwich. Wrap in a paper towel and microwave for about 50 seconds.
You can also pop’m in the oven, still wrapped in foil, at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. This will make the english muffin a bit more crispy too!
note: I don’t like them heated straight from the freezer into the microwave. They just don’t heat thoroughly and I find myself having to disable the entire sandwich and heat some parts separately.
I hope these sandwiches make those busy mornings a little more bearable and a lot more delicious for y’all cause they sure help us out over here!

Make Ahead Freezer Friendly Breakfast Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 12 english muffins i use Thomas light English muffins or lewis bake shop
- 6 slices American Cheese made with 2% milk cut in half
- 12 Slices Center Cut Bacon ham, canadian bacon, or turkey bacon works well too!
- 3 cups Liquid Egg Substitute or Liquid Egg Whites
- Cooking Spray coconut oil or avocado oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 cooking sheet (with sides) or a casserole dish well with cooking spray. Be sure to get the sides and corners real good!
- Pour 3 cups of the egg substitute or egg whites into the pan (or dish).
- Place in preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, uncovered. Time can vary just a bit with different ovens/using a pan or a glass dish. Be sure the eggs are cooked, not "jiggly" on top or in the middle.
- While the eggs are cooking, if using, prepare bacon and set aside to cool.*you can use deli ham, Canadian bacon, and turkey bacon here too. I do find that kind of "crisping these up" in a skillet is more flavorful then just adding to the sandwich straight out of the package. Either way, let them cool.
- Separate your english muffins. Don't toss the english muffin bags.Some people like to toast the English muffins before making sandwiches, but make sure they are cool. I find it much faster to lay out the English muffins on a sheet pan and let them toast pat about 400 for 6-8 minutes. I don't find it to make that much of a difference, but some do!
- When your eggs are done, cut into 12 squares and transfer to a plate to cool faster.
- The eggs & bacon need to be completely cool or at least room temperature before assembling the sandwiches. Let sit for about 20-25 minutes or pop into refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.
- Form an assembly line and build sandwiches. First the egg, then the bacon, followed by the 1/2 slice of cheese, and top with the other half of the english muffin.
- Lay out twelve squares of foil and start wrapping the sandwiches up.
- Place 6 sandwiches each back into the english muffin bag and tie and repeat with other bag if using.
- Freeze for up 3 months. Before heating, Let the sandwiches thaw over night.
- REHEAT INSTRUCTIONS: Microwave for about 50 seconds or pop them in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes.
- Enjoy!

I wonder if I can use toast? Would I do that after freezing the meat, cheese and egg, or with?
Toast usually isn’t as sturdy an English muffin, but it should work. I would definitely use a sturdy bread. Let me know how it goes if you give it a try!
Any idea on the sodium content per serving? Thanks!
Go to for meal prep! Have made these several times and used different types of meat/cheeses/breads to figure out what tastes the best. My next batch I am testing out using Sargento thin cheese instead of the Kraft singles so I am excited to see how that works. Prefer the oven heating method, they get nice and crispy and taste like I just made them.
I love the fact that you can make lots of breakfasts at once with these. They are so yummy and feel like a treat on weekdays. We’ve tried them with bacon, sausage, ham, and Canadian bacon.
One of my favorites and go to!!!
I’m planning to do maybe 3 dozens of these maybe prepare it the night before and put in the refrigerator. I would like to know if I can leave it in the oven warming at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for an hour. Would it get to crispy perhaps? Thank you!
Hey Mitch! Do you mean the whole sandwich or a part of the sandwich? I honestly think that for an hour if you’re doing the whole sandwich it might get a bit dry/too crunchy.
These are great. We are weird and don’t like cheese on our breakfast sandwiches, so i just leave the cheese off. They reheat perfectly and make our mornings so much easier to just grab and go. Warm breakfast sandwiches have especially hit the spot the last few weeks where it has been so cold.

These are my favorite. I always eat one after I make the batch but really they are even better defrosted out of the freezer. I don’t know how. Definitely an new staple in my house.
These are going on the meal prep list this week!
These are so tasty, easy and convenient to grab and go!! So many different choices for combos.
Thanks!!

These are a staple for me! A perfect, quick, delish breakfast and perfect of you are on the go!
My husband loves these and I had been using my 9×13 casserole dish for the egg whites as instructed. But recently that pan broke. I threw caution to the wind and baked the egg in my silicone muffin pan. This was the perfect solution! No cutting required and each was the perfect size to place on the sandwich.
For my first trial run I want to just half the recipe. Have you ever done it that way and does it work? Would you just use an 8 x 8 square pan?
Hi Terri! I’ve never halved the recipe. I’m sorry I don’t have the info, but I’m sure it would work just fine!
I love these sandwiches but I found a way to make them even better in the morning. Instead of microwaving for 44 seconds, I take 4 minutes to open face sandwich them and put them in the toaster. Bacon on one side, cheese and egg on the other. The muffin gets a little crispy, the bacon does too, the cheese melts and it is heaven! Try it if you can spare the extra few minutes.
I made these yesterday and I’m so glad I did. I am a sahm and cereal/ feather like breakfast that are quick dont cut it for me. I need substance to not be hungry in two hours so I’m usually parked at the stove every morning making eggs & chicken sausage. NO MORE. OMG- I’m a weirdo with how things reheat so I was so happy to pop my prepped breakfast sandwich in the toaster oven this morning and toss the foil and be DONE. UGH JESUS YES! So worth it to make room for that bit of time once a week to provide conveinence on the other days. I used whole eggs and jeannie-o breakfast turkey sausage. Browned the sausage on the stove then put it in the 9×13 and poured my eggs on top & baked per instructions. SO GOOD. Next week i’ll use the bacon. No to make a batch of your chicken street tacos to have in the freezer. I’m so bad about buying freezer items that I forget its better to once again spend a little time and know whats in your food and have it on hand when you want something quick! Thanks Star <3
Do you cook the English muffins?
I personally don’t, but some people do toast them up on a baking sheet before assembling the sandwiches.
This was a really cool idea,I think my aluminum foil was heavy duty because my sandwich wraps did not look as pretty as yours.i followed your recipe to the hilt while using lite whole wheat muffins,my center cut bacon bacon was 2 points for three strips I used two and my cheese was 2 points so with the use of the buns it might put me at 7 but I’m thinking 6 because I only used two strips of bacon,which is fine I generally have 4 or 5 points left each day. can get it lower with a couple tweaks but hey I’m a bacon freak lol lol so 6 it is.Thank you so much for this idea you rock
Thanks, Star! These have become a staple in my house! Something WW followers and non alike! So easy, DELICIOUS, and versatile. I look forward to these everyday when I wake up!
I absolutely love this! I’ve been making these for 4 months now. Its so easy and tastes amazing.

The SmartPoints haven’t gone down with the FreeStyle Plan? I noticed the points stayed the same. I was hoping we’d lose a point for the egg. 🙂
p.s. They are freaking amazing and so are the Make Ahead Freezer Pizza sandwiches.

Thank you for this post! To microwave them, do you take them out of the foil and just microwave them on a plate or do you wrap them in a paper towel or anything??
I wrap them in a paper towel!

I’m new to daily dose of pepper and I’m loving it so far. Today I made a batch of breakfast sandwiches and can’t wait to try one in the morning.
While reading through the comments, I saw a breakfast burrito mentioned. Have you possibly posted that recipe? I’m always looking for on the go breakfast ideas.
Thanks for taking the time to post all of these great looking recipes.
I haven’t! I’ll try to get those posted soon!

Hi,
You said, in one of your replies, that you were going to try putting the sandwich in the oven in a frozen state. Did you? If you did, how did it turn out?
You have a great site!
It takes about 30-35 minutes at 350 from the frozen state, but it does work. Keep it wrapped in foil if ya try it!

Kraft quit making the skim milk cheese! Any ideas on substitutes? Borden also makes one but they don’t distribute in Colorado. So frustrating,
Oh no! I’ve still been seeing it at the store, but maybe it’s the last of the product. A couple things you could do… You could use a half of a piece of the American Cheese made with 2% milk. It melts so well that it’ll still feel like a whole piece of cheese. I actually do that a lot. It will make the sandwiches one point more, but 5 Points for a filling breakfast sandwich is still a really good deal! You could also do the same with the Sargento thin slices.

I made these today. I used turkey bacon instead of regular. Made the sandwiches 3SP. Delicious! Had to stop myself at one. Definitely will make these again. Thanks for the recipe.

I have sandwich thins opened at home will those work? Also, if I’m making tonight and want to have one tomorrow should I leave one out in fridge?
Sandwich thins will work perfectly and yep, leave the sandwiches in the fridge if you’re planning to eat them over the next several days!

Do you not pre-toast the English muffins like for the make ahead pizza ones? I’m heading to the store two buy ingredients for both! Just wanted to clarify
I don’t pre-toast the muffins for the breakfast sandwiches. I never have, but after many people saying they started pre-toasting the english muffins for these I decided to give it a go with the pizza ones since when I think of pizza I think of a “crunch”. I personally don’t feel like the breakfast sandwiches need it, but a lot of people like to do the extra step with these now too! =)

Hi. I recently joined ww and when I saw this recipe I couldn’t wait to try it! So first off my local Wal-Mart needs to hop on the band wagon and get those English muffins. Secondly I used a blend of egg whites and while eggs to get my 3 cups seeing add that’s all I had in the house. Well, the 3 cups of egg was way to much for my pan and spilled all over the floor and my oven and my eggs got rock hard that I bag to throw it all away. Any ideas as to why this happened?
Hi Molly, I’m so sorry that your local store doesn’t carry the healthy life english muffins. Thomas’s also makes a light english muffin that is 3 Smart Points. It’s still a great point deal when using that muffin instead and I use them from time to time. I’m also sorry to hear your eggs didn’t turn out right. I’ve used egg beaters many times and liquid egg whites many times, but never tried them together. I have also always used exactly three cups. I’m not sure if the combination of the two messed with the consistency, I personally don’t think that would make a difference though. It does sound like the pan may have been a bit too small for the eggs. This is the exact pan I use at the moment, but have used others with no problems. Hope that helps! And I’m sorry it didn’t work out.

THANKYOU
Oh my goodness thank you so much for the help! My “regular” Jewel Osco store didn’t have the right cheese selection, clearly. I’ll hit up a different location next time. Thank you SO MUCH for all the tips!! I just wanted you to know my husband buys Jimmy Dean Delights breakfast sandwiches and each is 7sp. To be able to make these myself at home for just 4 sp is awesome! I’ll save a point wherever I can! Also thanks for the tip on these English Muffins! Saved yet another SP there too! If these tasty little breakfast sandwiches become a regular in my home (as I suspect they might) I’ll probably be buying a toaster oven for easy heating since I love the muffin all toasty! I have my meals all planned out for next week and Monday night I cannot wait to make your meatball sub bubble up!!! It looks SOOOO AMAZING! Thank you thank you thank you for whipping up all these amazing recipes and taking the time to share them with all of us! Hope you have a great weekend!
You’re welcome!! You can pop them in the regular oven for about 15-20 minutes too and the muffin will be toastier (is that a word?) than microwaving. (If you wanted to avoid buying a toaster oven) I usually pop’m in there while I am getting ready and then it’s good to go on my way out the door. Meatball Sub Bubble Up is a super popular recipe on here and also a family favorite. I hope y’all enjoy it!! Hope you have the best weekend! Lots of love!

One more question. I think you said the cheese you use is 1 sp. I had the hardest time finding cheese thats 1 sp. I scanned every single package of sliced cheese I could find. Borden singles. Kraft Singles. Lucerne Singles. Sargento. I tried from the “fancier” stuff in the resealable bags to the “cheaper” stuff like Kraft singles. It all scanned in at 2 sp (or more) per slice of cheese. Do you know exactly which cheese you use that is just 1 sp? I finally found a Sargento Ultra Thin Swiss for 1 sp but honestly the slice of cheese is so thin (like tissue paper) I didn’t really even taste it so might not be worth even using that one. Wondering which specific cheese you use for 1 sp? THANK YOU SO MUCH! Sorry for being such a pain!
Hi Christy! I’m so happy you liked the sammies despite a couple technical difficulties!
1. Oven times can vary for sure. When you take the pan of eggs out it should be solid, but not “hard”. I would for sure let them stay in there an extra 3-4 minutes and just keep a eye on’m. In other words, If ya take the pan out and it’s “jiggly” in the middle it probably needs a couple more minutes.
2. The cheese issue. Kraft and Borden farms make American cheese slices that are made with skim milk. These slices are 0 Smart Points each. The American cheese slices made with 2% milk are 2 Smart Points. I am able to find the Kraft brand at multiple stores, but the Borden Farms brand is only at one store I go to. However, I do see a lot of people using this brand on Instagram.
Options if you can’t find either brand … You could take one slice of the 2% american cheese and half it. (American cheese melts so nicely so a little can go a long way!) Sargento also makes “ultra thin” deli slices I believe the provolone and baby swiss are only 1 Smart Point.. and the cheddar and colby jack are 2 Smart Points. Same thing, you could half the slices. To me, baby swiss doesn’t half that much flavor in the first place. So that could be why you didn’t taste it. Try the provolone, I use that on my regular sandwiches a lot!
Next time I am at the grocery store (by myself! ha!) I will run through the cheese aisle and try to find some different options. Just taking a look at my Weight Watchers app right now I do see that there is also Kraft 2% White American Cheese that is 1 Smart Point, but I don’t know for sure if I have seen it at any of my stores.
I really hope that helps! (And you’re not a pain!)

Dumb Question Alert!
So I made a half size batch of these for my first run through. And I used a slightly smaller pan for half the amount of egg whites. So I did 1.5 C egg whites in a smaller dish. It seemed that the egg whites needed longer in the oven. After they had been in for 15 inures the middle still was uncooked. Anyone else experience this? So I cooked them for maybe another 5 minutes till they felt more firm to the touch. After they had cooled and I ate one of these sandwiches the egg FELT under cooked. Like the texture seemed off. Too watery or spongy. Do yours feel more firm when you eat them (like a McDonalds egg McMuffin) or more sponge-like. Just wondering if next time I need to bake those egg whites even longer! THANK YOU! Otherwise these are really delicious. I made mine with turkey sausage patties. And I loved them out of the oven because the english muffins got nice and crisp and toasty. YUM!

Do you toast the English muffins first?
I personally don’t, but a lot of people do to help keep them a little “crispy”. Put them on a baking sheet in the oven at 400 for about 10 minutes or until toasted. =) It’s much easier than toasting individually in the toaster!

When I scanned the muffins they came out to 3 points, do you think something has changed since you first posted this?
The healthy life multi grain muffins 3 points, but the regular light ones are 2 points.

I do not like eggs but I really want to make these. I am thinking of making them with sausage or ham… Any suggestions? I want to keep them at 4 points at most
sausage tends to be higher in points, even turkey sausage. I’d stick with ham, center cut bacon, or Canadian bacon to keep the points low. Just make everything up the same minus the eggs. The sandwiches should still be 4 points, possibly even 3 if you can find the 2 point english muffins in your area. Hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much for posting these (even though I am a bit late to the game!) I follow you on IG so I have seen some of your awesome recipes! This one I just had to try to help me get back on track with breakfast and going back to teaching this week! I decided to try it with regular Thomas’ English Muffins (couldn’t find the ones you suggested at my local grocery store, but if I decide to make these again, will head to Walmart to try to find them) and also just thin colby-jack cheese slices instead of the skim milk singles. I put it in the recipe builder or WW and they came out to 7 points. I can totally deal with that for breakfast (it is much better than grabbing a bagel and cream cheese or doughnut at the drive-thru!) or even lunch! Thanks again!
Better late than never! These are a serious life saver. I can’t think of a time in the last few years that I haven’t had them in the freezer ready to go. I’m so glad to hear they are helping your busy mornings!

Can you use egg whites for this? Like … Kroger Egg Whites? (They are like beaters but way less points).
Yep! I use them from time to time!

Have been having these the last couple weeks for breakfast. So yummy and nice to have something already prepared. I pop one in the toaster oven in the morning while I am getting ready. Thanks for the recipe.

Hi there! So when you thaw and put them in the oven (or microwave) you don’t have any problem with the muffin getting soggy from the egg? I made a version of these (not your recipe, but similar) about a month ago and they were a soggy mess in the microwave. Hoping your method of thawing overnight and oven baking will correct this! So glad I found your site! Love your recipes! Your street tacos are the jam!
I don’t think they are soggy whatsoever! If you bake them in the oven they have a bit more crispy-ness, but if you just put them in the microwave it just tastes like a muffin. I think there’s two key points in making these. 1) Letting all ingredients cool completely before assembling sandwiches. 2) Wrapping in the foil and then the plastic bag! I hope they turn out just as yummy for you as they do for me! Enjoy

I was wondering if there is alternative to the English muffins keeping close to the lower points)…any suggestions would be appreciated. My throats always starts getting tight when I eat English muffins so I tend to stay away from them now! Lol
I’ve made these using Thomas Bagel Thins! (They have whole wheat, plain, and everything flavor!) You can find them in almost all grocery stores in the bread aisle. I hope that helps!
A sandwich thin could also be a good alternative.

I made these today and am anxious to have one for breakfast! They sound awesome! Thank you!
I hope you enjoyed! You’re welcome!

Made these yesterday and they are so good! I am so glad you posted about those English muffins….I didn’t know they existed!! Where do you find the skim milk cheese? I can only find the 2% kind. I have seen the previous comments and they are probably using the wrong cheese too. It still is only 5 points which is amazing! Thank you!!!
I am so happy you enjoy! I have been able to find the cheese just about everywhere in my area. Walmart, Jewel Osco, Kroger, Woodmans, Hyvee! (I have not checked Targets) The brand I use is Kraft, but I have seen people make it with Skim Milk Cheese- Borden’s brand!

I’m making these today but wondering if you’ve ever added green onions, chopped peppers and/or mushrooms to the egg beaters while coolin? Would it make it too watery?
I have added chopped green onions before! No mushrooms or green peppers though. If I had to make a good guess, I think it would be just fine. I would just add a little. And I would make sure the eggs aren’t ‘jiggly’ at the 15 minute mark. They may need an extra minute or two! I hope it works!

I’ve made these! Love them and they’ve saved my hide on busy mornings!
I’m so happy you like these. They’ve saved mine a few dozen times too! haha

I don’t understand how this can be for smart points 2 points for the English muffin two points for the egg 1.4 the bacon two points for the Chiefs maybe one if it’s low fat I don’t understand where the Four Points comes from.
I build the recipe within the Weight Watchers App.
Healthy Life English Muffins- 28 SP
3 Cups Egg Beaters- 3 SP
12 slices American Cheese made with skim milk- 6 SP
12 Slices Center Cut Bacon- 10 SP
You divide by 12 servings and it comes to 4 Smart Points.
Each sandwich would break down to about one point between the egg and the cheese, 2 points of the healthy life english muffins, and a point with the bacon.
I just follow how WW divides them out. Enjoy! Best, Star

Loved them! And super easy and quick to make! I had tried making breakfast burritos and it was a mess with trying to measure everything out. These are super simple and delicious! Thanks!

Hey Star,
These look great! You may have already answered this but, when you use the oven method for reheating (vs microwave) do you also make sure the sandwich(es) are thawed? And if you use the oven method from frozen, did you find the same issue with them not being warmed all the way through?
Can’t want to try these!
Tiffany, yep! At the very bottom of the blog post it says all my heating instructions. 🙂 I have never put them straight into the oven from the freezer. I normally let them have the chance to thaw at least over night and then I put them in the oven in the morning (or whenever I want to eat them!) I will try one out tomorrow from frozen and see how it works out, but if I had to guess I would think it would heat a bit unevenly!

I’ve never heard of Healthy Light Original English muffins and I love breakfast sandwiches. I will have to go to wal-mart and look for them.
Jenna, yep! This brand makes bread, English muffins, hot dog buns, and hamburger buns! I love to save a little point here and there with them. I hope your Walmart carries them and you can find them. I also saw that you have a blog and took a quick glance! It looks lovely! I’m looking forward to reading more of it soon! Best, Star

Hi! I made these on Sunday! Thank you! Also I have had a bit of trouble with the ones I made making the eggs just taste really soggy. I was wondering if you have any tips. It was a hot day. So maybe I didn’t let me cool long enough. And I have been pulling them out and putting them in the fridge overnight before the next morning. Do you think the oven method would help? (I also used egg beater egg whites if that matters!)
Thanks again! Any suggestions would be wonderful!
I’m don’t think the egg beaters would matter. It’s fairly important to have all ingredients cool when assembling the sandwiches! I’ve made mine in the microwave dozens of times and their wasn’t a sogginess to them. Did you wrap in foil and then bag them before putting into the freezer? I prefer the oven me method, because they do “crisp” a bit more, but I’ve never had a problem with the microwave when really pushed for time!

Thank you for the new idea for breakfast. I love getting egg white delights too, but they are almost $3 here. Plus I can heat one up when I have to be at work at 5am.
Question – have you ever toasted them before assembling them and freezing? Not sure with heating it in the oven.
Eric’s LOVES these for his 5:30 AM breakfasts. Quick & Easy! When I began making these I did toast them, and honestly by the time you froze them and reheated them it didn’t make much of a
Difference. There was a SLIGHT difference, but nothing to write home about. I like not toasting them, personally because it just took so much extra time during the prepping process!

I’m curious how these are only 4sp? Are you using egg whites and turkey bacon? In my system this is how I see it.
English muffin 2sp
1 piece bacon 2sp
1 egg 2sp
1 piece cheese 1sp
Total 7sp
I will write the total points out for each item and then you divide by twelve.
12 English muffins- 28
12 slices of center cut bacon- 10
3 cups egg beaters- 3 (if you are using whole eggs- it would come out larger)
12 slices American Cheese Made with Skim Milk- 6
In the recipe it shows exactly what I used- in the photo proceed I used whole eggs as another option after I showed egg beaters because some people do not like to use egg beaters.
Total: 4 Smart Points Each 🙂

oh, great recipe! I do a breakfast burrito and my husband usually eats them all before I remember to eat them for me! I will have to give this a try for our back to school routine.
I’m doing a freezer friendly breakfast burrito next! I Love those too! Get those burritos before hubby eats them all, girl! Or hide them! 🙂

Before I started working, I used to make a version of these for my teen girls every morning! I am excited to try these out for the new year which could help all of our morning routines. Definitely going for the oven option though since I prefer to avoid the microwave. Thanks for posting this great idea!
I hope that you and your girls enjoy them! I avoid the microwave a lot too! That’s why I posted oven directions too 🙂 good luck with back to school!!!

I have found if I wrap in Saran Wrap and then put them all in a gallon size freezer bag they tend to taste better. I’ve been making these for a few years now, they are a life save. And heyyyy I have to find those English muffins. The one I use are 3 smarties! Thanks for another great recipe!
I used to do the Saran Wrap method, but in all honesty. I am Saran Wrap challenged and avoid working with it at all costs haha! I started using the foil squares a couple years ago and I think they keep the quality too. 🙂 i hope you can find those muffins there are such a good deal!

What a great idea for the busy school mornings. I need to get my hands on those muffins. I’ve given up English muffins because of points…and also because I like them with melted butter in every cranny. I’d love a good four point breakfast sandwich! xo
PS You made me laugh when you said you did a lot of things wrong. All I see is you doing a lot of things right, but I do like your humility! It’s definitely part of your charm, my friend!
Yes! Every Walmart I have been to has them. I hope you can find them! They are honestly pretty yummy & taste perfect as sandwiches!
And as always, you’re always the best and give me the best compliments! Thanks for all the love you show, Erin! So lucky to have you as my buddy!
