GATHERING YOUR HEARTY BREAKFAST INGREDIENTS

The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity and flexibility. Here is what you will need for your classic Sheet Pan Breakfast Egg Sandwich.

For the Sheet Pan Assembly:

• The Bread: 6 English muffins, split. Whole wheat or sourdough work great too.
• The Protein: 6 slices of bacon OR 4 breakfast sausage patties.
• The Cheese: 6 slices of cheddar, provolone, or American cheese.

For the Egg “Frittata” Patties:

• The Base: 8 large eggs.
• The Creaminess: ¼ cup of milk or heavy cream.
• The Seasoning: ½ teaspoon each of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
• The Mix-ins: 2 tablespoons of finely chopped chives or green onions (optional).

THE ESSENTIAL BAKING TOOLS

You only need a few key tools. A large, rimmed half-sheet pan is the star of the show. You will also need a standard 12-cup muffin tin for the egg patties, a large mixing bowl, a whisk, and a spatula. Parchment paper is highly recommended for easy cleanup.

CRAFTING YOUR EASY BREAKFAST FEAST, STEP-BY-STEP

Let’s walk through the simple, streamlined process of creating these incredible Sheet Pan Breakfast Egg Sandwiches.

PREPARING THE SHEET PAN AND OVEN

First, preheat your oven to 400°F. Line your large sheet pan with parchment paper. Arrange the split English muffins on one side of the pan, cut-side up. Place the bacon slices or sausage patties on the other side.

PREPARING THE EGG PATTIES

In your large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and uniform. If you’re using chives, whisk them in now. Lightly grease your muffin tin cups with cooking spray or butter. Evenly pour the egg mixture into the 12 muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.

THE SIMULTANEOUS BAKE

Place both the sheet pan (with English muffins and bacon) and the muffin tin (with the eggs) in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

CHECKING FOR DONENESS

After 12 minutes, check your components. The English muffins should be lightly toasted, and the bacon should be cooked to your desired crispness. The egg patties are done when they are puffed and set in the center. If you’re using sausage, it may need a few extra minutes to cook through.

ASSEMBLING THE SANDWICHES

Remove both pans from the oven. If you want melted cheese, immediately place a slice on each hot egg patty the residual heat will melt it perfectly. Let the bacon cool for a minute on a paper towel, then break each slice in half.

BUILDING YOUR MASTERPIECE

To build your Sheet Pan Breakfast Egg Sandwich, place one egg and cheese patty on the bottom half of an English muffin. Top with a half-slice (or whole slice) of bacon or a sausage patty. Add the top of the English muffin, and you’re done!

MY SECRETS FOR THE PERFECT SANDWICH EVERY TIME

Here are my pro-tips for guaranteed success.

• For the fluffiest egg patties, don’t over-whisk the eggs; just mix until the yolks and whites are combined.
• For easier cleanup, spray the muffin tin wells thoroughly. If your English muffins are toasting too quickly, you can move the pan to a lower rack.
• For a make-ahead dream, the fully cooked components can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 3 days and quickly reheated in the microwave or toaster oven.

DELICIOUS VARIATIONS YOU’LL ACTUALLY TRY

This Sheet Pan Breakfast Egg Sandwich recipe is wonderfully adaptable.

• For a Denver-style sandwich, add ¼ cup of finely diced ham, green pepper, and onion to the egg mixture before baking.
• For a Veggie Lover’s version, stir in ¼ cup of chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes into the eggs.
• For a Spicy Kick, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the egg mixture and use pepper jack cheese.

STORING, REHEATING, AND FREEZING

This Sheet Pan Breakfast Egg Sandwich is the ultimate meal prep breakfast! Store assembled but un-toasted sandwiches wrapped individually in foil or parchment paper. They will keep in the refrigerator for 3 days. To reheat, simply unwrap and warm in a toaster oven or air fryer at 350°F for 8-10 minutes until hot.

For longer storage, wrap the assembled sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap and then foil before freezing for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in the oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes.

TROUBLESHOOTING COMMON QUESTIONS

• My egg patties stuck to the muffin tin.
  This is almost always due to insufficient greasing. Next time, be generous with the cooking spray, making sure to get the sides of each cup. Silicone muffin trays are also a great non-stick option.
• My English muffins burned.
  Oven temperatures can vary. If your muffins are thinner or your oven runs hot, check them at the 10-minute mark. You can also place them on the pan cut-side down for a less intense toast.
• Can I make this without a muffin tin?
  Yes! Pour the entire egg mixture onto the other half of the parchment-lined sheet pan (spray the parchment first) and bake it as one large sheet. Once baked and slightly cooled, use a round cookie cutter or glass to cut out circles that fit your English muffins.

THE PERFECT WAY TO SERVE IT

This is the ultimate “build-your-own” breakfast bar! Set out the sheet pan of toasted English muffins, a platter of egg patties, a bowl of bacon, and small dishes with extra toppings, such as sliced avocado, salsa, or hot sauce. Let everyone create their own perfect Sheet Pan Breakfast Egg Sandwich.

A NOTE ON SATISFACTION

This Sheet Pan Breakfast Egg Sandwich is a hearty, protein-packed way to start the day. The combination of carbs, protein, and fat from the eggs and cheese provides long-lasting energy, keeping you full and satisfied all morning long.

MY STORY: THE BREAKFAST THAT SAVED OUR WEEKENDS

I developed this method during a chaotic family reunion where the demand for breakfast sandwiches was high and my patience was low. Flipping eggs and bacon for a dozen people was not my idea of a relaxing morning. In a moment of inspiration, I decided to throw everything onto sheet pans.

The result was pure magic. Not only was cleanup a dream, but I was finally able to sit down and enjoy a hot breakfast with everyone else. It has been our go-to weekend and holiday breakfast ever since, turning a stressful chore into a simple, joyful ritual.

FINAL CHECKLIST BEFORE YOU BAKE

Before you start, quickly confirm that the oven is preheated to 400°F, the sheet pan is lined with parchment, the muffin tin is greased, and all ingredients are prepped and ready.
