Make Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches

This is a super simple, super flexible recipe that’s an easy way to use up leftover fridge ingredients as well as meal prep some filling breakfasts. Any combination of ingredients will work — use leftover taco ingredients for a southwest style breakfast burrito, or use spinach and egg whites for a healthy twist.

Ingredients

• Bread — tortilla, English muffins, sandwich bread, leftover biscuits
• Egg — Baked, fried or scrambled
• Meat (optional) — bacon, ham, leftover steak, sausage, cooked taco meat, etc.
• Cheese — sliced or shredded
• Vegetables (optional) — whatever combination you have!

Directions

• Cut foil and parchment down into rectangles.
• Layer foil, parchment, bread, meat, cheese, and vegetables.
• Wrap the breakfast sandwich in parchment first, then foil.
• Store in a freezer bag until ready to heat.
• Unwrap foil and place on a microwave safe plate. Heat in microwave 1-2 minutes until warmed through!
