How to Make, Freeze, and Reheat a Breakfast Sandwich: Basic Recipe
From: Tammy Kresge @ www.organizeyourselfskinny.com/
I like to make and freeze my breakfast sandwiches ahead of time because it helps keep my kitchen clean during the work week and it also gives me more time to enjoy the morning stress free. Well not completely stress free but it does reduce it. Not to mention the calories that I save by making my own breakfast sandwiches are substantial.
Let me show you how easy it is to make, freeze, and reheat a homemade delicious breakfast sandwich.
How to Make a Basic Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich
**These ingredients make 1 sandwich. Increase the ingredients for the number of servings you want to make.
Ingredients:
1 slice bacon
1 large egg
1 slice sharp American cheese
1 100 calorie high fiber English muffin (I use Thomas’)
Directions:
Step 1
Cook bacon. You can either pan fry it or cook in the oven at 400 for 10 – 11 minutes or until desired crispiness.
Step 2.
Cook eggs. Break yoke and cook until set. You don’t have to break the yoke you could just cook them over hard. I used the griddle side of my indoor grill but you can easily use a pan. Or bake them in the oven.
Step 3.
After you flip the eggs, cook for about 30 more seconds then add the cheese. Let sit for about 1 minute.
One slice of cheese is more than enough. You can easily reduce the cheese on these sandwiches by half and not even notice the difference in taste.
Step 4.
Place one egg with cheese with a slice of bacon in-between an un-toasted English muffin.
How to Freeze a Breakfast Sandwich
Step 1.
Once the sandwich is slightly cooled wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
Step 2.
Place wrapped sandwiches in labeled freezer bag.
How to Reheat a Frozen Breakfast Sandwich
To reheat your breakfast sandwich in the microwave, take it directly from the freezer unwrap the plastic wrap and then wrap loosely in a paper towel.
For oven reheating, wrap each muffin in aluminum foil.
REHEAT IN MICROWAVE.
If thawed, 40-60 seconds at full power. If frozen, 3 minutes at half power, turning over after each minute.
REHEAT IN OVEN.
In 350 degree oven, place on baking sheet and heat for 15 to 20 minutes if thawed; 30-40 minutes if frozen.
Now you can enjoy a homemade breakfast quickly and on the run every morning by taking only about 30 minutes on a Sunday to put these healthy sandwiches together.
If you make that same sandwich at home (and I hope you do) with fresh nutritious ingredients you will end up with a breakfast sandwich that has roughly 295 calories, 26g of carbs, 16g of fat, 690mg of sodium
