These freezer-friendly sausage and egg muffins are great for the mornings when you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast or even an afternoon snack.
Freezer Friendly Sausage and Egg Muffins
These delicious freezer friendly sausage and egg muffins are easy to make and great to have on hand in the freezer to grab when in a hurry. Or, enjoy this homemade version instead of the popular takeaway muffins.
For these muffins, I used pre-purchased sausage patties or beef burgers, though you can easily make your own by using a mixture of beef and pork mince, mixed with spices such as salt, pepper, diced onion and garlic and a little dried sage.
Roll the mixture into balls and flatten them on a lined baking tray. Bake at 200˚C (400˚F) until browned, about 12 minutes.
Notes for Making Freezer Friendly Sausage and Egg Muffins
- Lightly toasting the English muffins before freezing helps to prevent sogginess when reheating.
- Processed cheese does melt best when reheating.
- Make sure that the muffin has completely cooled before wrapping and placing the freezer.
- Try to avoid reheating the muffins too much as the eggs may become rubbery.
- To make a vegan version, remove the sausage patties or beef burgers or replace with a vegan version
- These work great when using homemade English muffins

Preparing to Make Sausage and Egg Muffins
Preheat oven to 180˚C (350˚F).
Grease a muffin tray or small baking tray.
If using a muffin tray, crack one egg into each hole. If using a small baking tray, crack all the 12 eggs into a bowl and beat to combine.
Then pour into the greased baking tray.
Season with salt and pepper.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until just set. Avoid over baking as this can cause the to become rubbery once defrosted.
Heat the tallow or oil in a frypan and cook the bacon and the sausage patties or beef burgers until it is just cooked.
Remove and drain on a plate.
Split and lightly toast each English muffin.
