Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage patties until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Wipe out the skillet if needed and lightly grease it. Pour the eggs into the pan and cook over medium-low, letting the eggs set. Once set, turn off the heat and let it cool. Cut the cooked eggs into 4 sections in the skillet, or remove the eggs and cut them.
Place the eggs in the bottom half of each muffin. Top with a sausage patty and a slice of cheddar cheese.
How do I freeze breakfast sandwiches?
Follow the recipe as stated and let assembled sandwiches cool completely. Once cooled, wrap each sandwich in parchment paper or aluminum foil, then place it in a freezer bag. Use within 2-3 months for the highest quality.
Why use real dairy foods in my breakfast sandwiches?
