Tutorial: How To Make Breakfast Sammiches in Bulk for a Quick Breakfast on the Go Before Work or School

I made breakfast sandwiches! This way, they can just be frozen and microwaved for a quick breakfast. These are great for new moms, recovering from surgery/etc., or in this case, I made a bunch for my Dad while my Mom is in another state. 

We got this new awesome device that makes a whole breakfast sandwich at once. Honey Graham has used it as intended; however, since I was making multiple sandwiches, I wanted to do more of an assembly line. 

Anyway, so what I did was set up an assembly line. Here’s what I bought: 

A six pack of English Muffins
A 12 oz package of bacon (it had 9 slices in it)
A box of precooked sausage links
A package of American cheese slices (his request)

I also used a microwave bacon cooker. It is similar to this one:

But I’ve had it forever. I have no idea what brand it is, but it works amazing. 

The main reason why I couldn’t just use the sandwich cooker as instructed was because I wanted to put two eggs in each sandwich. So I put the egg lever in and cracked two eggs into the egg section. I broke the yolks and let it cook for 7 minutes. I also wanted to cook all the meat at once. So I guess since I was making so many sandwiches at once, I wanted to have just a little more control over them. Otherwise, I would have just used the thing as it’s supposed to be used. I think it would have taken more time to make each sandwich in the machine.

While the first eggs cooked, I opened the English Muffins and separated them. I laid out each half on a cutting board. Then I unwrapped the cheese slices. My dad wanted a variety of sandwiches, so I did three with PepperJack and three with American. I just put one cheese slice on the bottom half of each English Muffin. (note that the sandwiches with PepperJack cheese were on the spicy side so if you’re like me and don’t like spicy food for breakfast, skip the PepperJack and just go with cheddar or something else)

By this time, the first egg was nearly done cooking. When 7 minutes were up, I opened the lid, and opened the egg divider. The egg patty slid down to the bottom griddle. I flipped it over and let it cook the top side of the egg for about 30 seconds. Then I put it on top of the cheese to let it melt a little. Then, I put the next two eggs in the cooker.

While it was cooking, I put the precooked sausage links on the stove and got those done. They were nearly done by the time the second egg was done. I also got the bacon opened and set out the first four slices on the microwave cooker. I microwaved it for 5 minutes because it was so thick. Thinner bacon would take a lot less time. Test it by going 1 minute at a time.

I finished the second egg and put it on the next sandwich and started round 3. I took the bacon out of the microwave and put in the second half of the bag (minus the last strip). Then I cut six of the sausage links in half lengthwise so I could put two full sausages on each of three sandwiches. I put sausage on one of the American sandwiches and one of the PepperJack sandwiches. 

The third egg patty finished, so I took care of that and started the fourth one. The sandwich cooker was still hot and still non stick and working great. The next round of bacon was ready, so I put two strips of bacon on three sandwiches: two American and one PepperJack. Then I put the last sausage halves on the third egg patty (on a PepperJack!)

I finished the fourth egg patty and put it on top of one of the bacon sandwiches. The fifth set of two eggs went in right away and I started getting ready to wrap the sandwiches. I chose foil, but you could use freezer paper too. I tore out 6 sheets and wrote what each sandwich was on the back side in permanent marker. I wrapped the three sausage sandwiches and put them in a gallon size freezer zip top bag.

The fifth egg patty was done so I assembled the fifth sandwich and started the last two eggs in the sandwich cooker. It was still hot and still working perfectly. I had a few minutes to kill so I cleaned up the sausage pan and the cutting board and the bacon cooker. HA! Not really. I danced around in the kitchen with Froot Loop until the last egg patty was ready. 

Then, I assembled the last sandwich, wrapped it up in foil, and put all three bacon sandwiches in with the sausage ones. Voila! Six yummy sandwiches all ready to go in the freezer and be a tasty breakfast for my Dad. I had 4 sausage links and 2 bacon slices left over (I ate the 9th slice of bacon as “payment” for my work!) so I also wrapped those in foil for him to eat. 

These ended up costing less than $10 and were so easy to do. I had a lot of leftover cheese that my Dad can use for sandwiches or whatever and that 1-2 servings of sausage and bacon left too. They are heartier than the ones at the store since they each have two eggs and two pieces of meat and probably healthier too. Plus, they were made with love! 

I'm pretty impressed with the sandwich maker. It held up well and it is so easy to use! Here's some helpful information about it:
