Make Ahead Egg Sandwiches

I grew up eating Egg McMuffins from McDonalds, and I still love them! We would stop and grab one nearly every weekend for breakfast growing up because we were always running to a softball tournament somewhere and needed a quick breakfast.

 
Now that I’m older and have my own family, we’re still always on the go (or so it seems) and need a quick, healthy breakfast. So, I put together a healthier version of the Egg McMuffin and the boys love it. I make them with whole wheat muffins, eggs, cheddar cheese, veggies and sliced turkey. If you don’t like turkey or prefer another meat, switch it out or leave it off! They are still delicious. 

 

I typically make these on a Sunday evening and store them in plastic bags or plastic wrap for the entire week! Start by sautéing the veggies. You’ll want to cook them to soften them up before adding them to the egg mixture.

 


This recipe is so easy! Mix up the eggs and milk, add the veggies and bake! That’s it!

Once the eggs are done baking, assemble the sandwiches, wrap them in plastic and store them in the fridge. Depending on the size of your family it may make sense for you to double the batch. One batch makes 6 sandwiches. Enjoy!!
