I have a weakness for Starbucks breakfast sandwiches and the Starbucks egg white breakfast sandwiches are a personal fave...so delicious with egg whites, turkey bacon and white cheddar...simple and perfect. And SO easy to recreate at home!

Why make your own breakfast sandwiches?
Making your own breakfast sandwiches at home is so much cheaper, surprisingly easy, and makes it easier for you to control the ingredients.
Think of these breakfast sandwiches as a starting point and make swaps that suit your diet/lifestyle.
- On a low sodium diet? Omit the salt, pick low sodium bacon and cheese.
- Low carb? Swap the English muffin for a Low Carb English Muffin.
- Want to add some veggies? Add some fresh or frozen chopped spinach to the egg whites.
How to make prep them ahead
To make these breakfast sandwiches, you will bake the egg whites in a 8 x 8 inch baking dish. While the eggs are baking, cook up the turkey bacon.
Then, it's so simple to assemble them: 1 english muffin + ¼ batch of egg whites, 1 slice of white cheddar and 1 slice of turkey bacon. Assemble the cooled ingredients, then portion out.
- For fridge storage- I simply put them all in one big glass storage container. They are good for 3 or so days.
- For freezer storage- I use ziplock sandwich bags. I just have not found a viable plastic-free storage solution for freezer breakfast sandwiches at the moment. Place the small bags inside a larger bag for long term storage (1-2 months).
What about re-heating? I thaw my breakfast sandwiches overnight, then put in the microwave for 30 seconds. Next, I cook on my old school George Foreman indoor grill for 2-3 minutes. I highly recommend a sandwich press, indoor grill or frying pan to get a nice crispy texture on these.
How long can you store these? 3-4 days in the fridge, 2 months + in the freezer (if you double bag them!)
Recipe tips
- make sure all your ingredients are cooled to room temperature before assembling the sandwiches (otherwise they may get soggy!)
- use a carton of egg whites to save time. You can also use whole eggs for this recipe!
- I use these gallon freezer bags
to hold the plastic-wrapped sandwiches. You can re-use it many times since it doesn’t get dirty ? - I like re-heating my freezer breakfast sandwiches on my ancient George Foreman grill (here’s the newer model); you could also use a frying pan or sandwich press. This helps get a little extra texture in the english muffins, but is not essential.

Hi Sarah, so glad to hear you enjoyed this easy breakfast recipe! They are so good for quick meals on a busy day! Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and leave a rating and review.
Toni says
Do you whisk (scramble) the egg whites before you bake them?
Denise says
Hi Toni, you can do that if you'd like? I didn't bother as the egg whites I used were in a container and they were already pretty mixed together. Hope you enjoy!
EngineerMom says
Hello! Just a quick note - I've found a plastic-free way of storing these sandwiches. I wrap them tightly in wax paper, then in foil or put them in an air-tight container to freeze.
