Healthy Homemade Egg McMuffin Sandwiches: Ham and egg breakfast sandwiches come together easily with a sheet pan hack for cooking eggs. Make ahead and freeze for an easy, wholesome on-the-go breakfast and skip the drive-thru permanently. 

If you asked my kids what is one thing your mom tells you over and over again about healthy eating, they would tell you Breakfast needs to fuel you for success for the day. 

I am pretty sure they can break down my 5 essentials of a Healthy Breakfast in great detail and they know that #1 in my book is that breakfast must have a hefty dose of protein so they are not hungry an hour later.

Needless to say, I have an arsenal of healthy, easy breakfast recipes that are full of protein up my sleeve.

Healthy Homemade Egg McMuffin Sandwiches

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 it is a fabulous, easy option.

Especially when I can make more than one egg sandwich at a time.

And with my hack for cooking eggs, I can do just that!

How to Make 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 Veggie 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.

To make sheet pan eggs, it is as simple as mixing up eggs and baking. I add a splash of milk, shredded cheese, and salt and pepper and bake. No egg mold to clean, no muffin cups to clean, and no making one egg at time!

I can customize this recipe to make as many baked egg squares as I need for breakfast sandwiches. This silicone loaf pan yields exactly 6 squares that each fit perfectly on an English muffin. And since packages of English Muffins come in six, this is the pan I typically use. But to make more McMuffins at once, use a sheet pan lined with parchment paper works perfectly and this half sheet pan will yield 18 squares–which is great to use to make a large batch of Homemade Egg McMuffins to freezer.

How to Freeze Egg McMuffins for a Healthy Breakfast On-the-go:

It is SMART to make as many a triple batch of these healthy copycat egg mcmuffins to keep on hand in your freezer.

To freeze these breakfast sandwiches:

1. Assemble as directions state without toasting the English Muffin.
2. Place each breakfast sandwich large freezer bag.
3. Seal and freeze for up to 6 weeks.
4. To reheat egg sandwiches, place on plate and microwave frozen sandwich for 1-2 minutes on high in microwave.

**Alternatively, you can wrap each sandwich in parchment paper and place in freezer bag to freeze and reheat on parchment paper verses a plate. 

Notes on Easy Ham and Egg Breakfast Sandwiches:

• 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 Candian bacon, cooked traditional bacon, or sausage patties are all great options for these classic breakfast sandwiches.
• Feel free to use any variety 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 English Muffin 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.
