These healthy freezer breakfast sandwiches are so much healthier than the drive thru! Packed with veggies and ridiculously easy to make.
Can we start the weekend over? I wasn't ready.
That's how I feel every Monday. Except today, I have a little more pep in my step (considering...MONDAY), and it's all thanks to these healthy freezer breakfast sandwiches.
I have only just discovered that breakfast sandwiches don't have to come from a drive-thru and they also don't have to be full of processed ingredients. Say what?!
Eating one of these beauties was a pretty awesome way to start my week.
These healthy freezer breakfast sandwiches came about thanks to a discussion about breakfast sandwiches in our breakfast prep challenge.
My curiosity was piqued and I had to try making my own breakfast sandwiches....just to see. And not only were they tasty but they were RIDICULOUSLY easy to make.
Not only that but you can totally customize the egg portion, and load it up with veggies. For these freezer breakfast sandwiches I combined finely chopped broccoli and spinach with some feta cheese, and topped with a slice of havarti. Breakfast heaven.
So friend, how easy are these freezer breakfast sandwiches to make? Beat together your eggs, milk, salt, feta, and veggies. For the sandwiches pictured, I used broccoli & spinach. Bake up for 20-25 minutes. Cool.
Other delicious variations?
- 3 cups spinach (no broccoli)
- 1.5 cups spinach, 1.5 cups sliced mushrooms
I'm only just getting started with these babies. I'll keep you posted on other flavor variations, but I definitely plan on testing some sundried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and leeks.
Which other flavors do you want to see? I'd love suggestions in the comments or via e-mail 🙂
Once your eggs have cooled completely, you can cut them into circles (as pictured above), but you'll end up with scraps. I actually prefer to cut them into squares. That's what I do these days. No scraps and just as tasty!
Then assemble your sandwiches, wrap in baggies, and freeze until you're ready for a healthy, filling and not to mention, TASTY breakfast!
Because on Mondays (and to be honest, every morning for me), an easy breakfast is just what you need.
Watch the video below to see exactly how I prepped these freezer breakfast sandwiches. It’s so easy! You can find more of my recipe videos on my YouTube channel, or on Facebook.

This looks delicious ...adding a bit of ham or bacon bits would be awesome too 🙂 I think I'd make my egg mixture in muffin tins and then they'd be the perfect size and would have all the extra bits left over 🙂 thanks for the recipe

Hi Shawne! When I was testing this recipe I did try a muffin tin and they came out too narrow and tall. But maybe if you have a wide muffin tin it would work better? Hope you enjoy!
