I have to say I love a portable breakfast.
There are mornings (more than I care to admit) that we oversleep and have to grab breakfast and be out the door. And while I can and do give my kids a jar of overnight oats and spoon on our way to school, a hand-held breakfast sandwich that requires nothing more than a napkin to serve is a fabulous, easy option.
Sheet Pan Eggs for Breakfast Sandwiches
It may sound odd to make eggs on a sheet pan, or silicone baking dish as I do, but this kitchen hack will save you time and is almost fail-proof.
In the past, I have used silicone muffin cups to make Spinach Egg Sandwiches, and while that works fine and well, I am in love with using a silicone baking dish or sheet pan to bake eggs for breakfast sandwiches. No egg mold to clean, no muffin cups to clean, and no making one egg at a time!
To make Sheet Pan Eggs
- Mix eggs with a splash of milk, shredded cheese, and salt and pepper.
- Pour into a silicone baking dish or pan lined with parchment paper.
- Bake until eggs are set.
- Turn baked eggs onto cutting board and slice into 6 squares to fit on English Muffins.
To Make 18 Egg McMuffins
This recipe for sheet pan eggs can be customized to make as many baked egg squares as needed for breakfast sandwiches.
- For 18 homemade Egg McMuffins, use a half sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
How to Assemble
- Allow your baked eggs to cool.
- Slice eggs into even squares to fit on English Muffins.
- Toast English Muffins if desired.
- Place a piece of ham or Canadian bacon on each English Muffin.
- Top the ham with an egg square.
- Top each egg square with a cheese slice if you did not mix the cheese into the baked eggs.
- Put the top of each muffin on the egg sandwich.
How to Freeze Egg McMuffins
It is SMART to make as many a triple batch of these Healthy Copycat Egg McMuffins to keep on hand in your freezer.
- Assemble as directions state without toasting the English Muffin.
- Place each breakfast sandwich a large freezer bag.
- Seal and freeze for up to 6 weeks.
- To reheat egg sandwiches, place on plate and microwave frozen sandwich for 1-2 minutes on high in the microwave.
**Alternatively, you can wrap each sandwich in parchment paper and place it in a freezer bag to freeze and reheat on parchment paper versus a plate.
Recipe Notes and FAQs
- I choose to mix shredded cheese into my sheet pan eggs instead of topping each egg sandwich with a slice of cheese because it eliminates one step and it freezes better than a slice of cheese on an Egg McMuffin.
- I love to use thinly sliced deli ham on these homemade egg McMuffins, but Canadian bacon, cooked traditional bacon, or sausage patties are all great options for these classic breakfast sandwiches.
- Feel free to use any variety of cheese you like. A classic Egg McMuffin has American cheese on it, but I like sharp cheddar or Colby.
- I use whole wheat English muffins, but any variety of English muffins works.
- If I am serving these ham and egg sandwiches for a crowd, I toast up the English muffins in the oven while the eggs are cooking.
- To keep these breakfast sandwiches dairy-free, omit milk and cheese and use water in place of milk.
- To keep these McMuffin Sandwiches gluten-free, use gluten-free English Muffins.

Loved your egg muffins - [vegetarian so won't include the ham and cheese]-- I will definitely make them tomorrow and save myself a fortune not going to Macdonalds for their 'folded egg muffin' -- thank you so much. xxx Marilyn, so Kingoodie Village, Perthshire, Scotland.
