Healthy Breakfast Sandwich Recipe (Freezer Friendly!)
Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 288kcal
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 2 bell peppers chopped
- 1/2 pound fresh baby spinach chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 English Muffins I like using sprouted grain muffins
- 6 slices cheddarcheese or any cheese you like
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray an 911 casserole dish with cooking spray or coat with butter or coconut oil.
- Heat olive oil in a large non-stick saut pan, add onion along with pinch of salt. Saut until onions are translucent. Add in peppers and garlic and cook for another two minutes.
- Add in chopped spinach with a bit more salt and pepper, stir and cook until spinach has wilted down. Shut off heat and let veggies cool a bit.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and then slowly stir the cooled veggie mixture into the eggs.
- Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into baking dish and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the center is set and the outer edges are slightly browned. Allow the eggs to cool, then slice into six pieces.
- Build the sandwiches by adding one piece of the baked eggs and one slice of cheese to each English muffin. Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and place into the freezer for up to 3 months.

looks great! but I don’t have a microwave – is there any reason why I shouldn’t warm these up in a toaster oven, maybe on low heat (275-300 degrees?) for about 8-10 min straight out of the freezer? would the consistency be off in any way? thanks!
Dani says
That should work just fine!!
Shanelle says
Hi,
Can you make this with any type of bread?
Dani says
I would be sure to choose a nice hearty bread that can hold up to the freezer!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You are adorable, down to earth, and sooooo full of great healthy stuff. I have tried to watch other’s similar to you, but no one measures up to you. I just relate to you. Did I mention, how adorable you are? FYI: I am a very overweight, very happy, happy, married person, who is trying to work on my weight so I can enjoy my grandchildren. You are such an inspiration and so fun to watch. I won’t waste my time watching anyone else! I thank God for you. God Bless you and your family.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I am terrible at eating breakfast and have been trying to work on that. These leave me with no excuse not to have it and they’re so flavorful! Looking forward to making more of your recipes!

Ruth says
Made these for a brunch yesterday and they were delicious. Could not find sprouted English muffins so I used Trader Joe’s whole wheat English muffins. Will be making these often. Thanks for all the delicious recipes
Dani says
It’s my pleasure! I am so glad you are enjoying the recipes.
Nicole D Edwards says
These look great. What kind of sprouted English muffins do you use and where do you get them? I can’t find them anywhere.
=Thank you
Dani says
I use a brand called “Food For Life’ – they are sold at Whole Foods + Trader Joes’ where I love. A lot of other grocery stores carry them as well but often store them in the freezer section so be sure to look there as well.
JoAnn Wallace says
Made these today, my husband loved them.
Dani says
So glad to hear it!! Thanks for letting me know.
Christina says
I made these twice & both times the bread was soggy when heated. Any thoughts what I’m doing wrong?
Alex says
I made this today and it was delicious! The photo makes it look like this is primarily a spinach breakfast sandwich, but I found the flavour of the red peppers was strongest. I ate one, and froze the rest, can’t wait to eat them on busy mornings.
Cassie Walker says
Hi there! What is your recommendation for reheating these? Thanks!
Dani Spies says
Yes! You can either take them out the night before and leave them ing the fridge overnight. When ready to heat pop them in the microwave (all microwaves will vary_ for 30 seconds or until heated through and enjoy! Or take them out when ready to eat, allow to sit on the counter for 15 minuted, unwrap them and then pop them in the microwave for 90-120 seconds.
Oweka says
I made these yesterday and they are wonderful! I’m going to whip up another batch for the freezer. I didn’t have peppers on hand so I used shredded carrots and broccoli stems (I learned about using broccoli stems from your earlier video on broccoli stem soup!) along with a baby kale and spinach mix, and the onions. So delicious!
Danny says
I really want to make these, but my husband doesn’t eat bell peppers. Do you have any ideas what I could substitute that might work as well?
Dani Spies says
YYou can simply skip them or replace them chopped zucchini – that would be delicious.
Jackie Minick says
This recipe sounds delicious! Can’t wait to try. One question though, what is the best way to reheat the sandwiches after you take them out of the freezer?
Thank you so much for all of the wonderful recipes Dani!

I’m sorry, but I don’t see the microwave reheating instructions from frozen! I searched the page, but no luck.

Rene Price says
Sorry if I missed it… Is there a recommended way to heat this up in the microwave? How long? And is it full power or partial power? Thanks!
