Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Everything or Plain Bagels, sliced
- 12 Frozen Breakfast Sausage Patties
- 12 Large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Whole Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 12 Slices Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 4 tablespoons Butter, softened
- Optional: Garlic powder or red pepper flakes for the eggs
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat and Prep the Pans. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it generously with non-stick cooking spray. If you are cooking the sausage at the same time, prepare a second smaller sheet pan for the patties.
- Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 12 eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and pale yellow. Pour the egg mixture onto the prepared large rimmed baking sheet. Carefully tilt the pan to ensure the eggs cover the entire surface evenly.
- Step 3: Bake the Eggs and Sausage. Place the sheet pan of eggs into the oven. On a separate rack, place the sheet pan with the sausage patties. Bake the eggs for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are set and no longer jiggly in the center. Bake the sausage patties according to the package directions, usually around 12 to 15 minutes as well.
- Step 4: Cut and Assemble. Once the eggs are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Use a knife or a round biscuit cutter to divide the sheet pan eggs into 12 equal portions. Spread a thin layer of butter on each bagel half. Place one egg portion, one sausage patty, and one slice of cheddar cheese onto each bagel bottom, then top with the other bagel half.
- Step 5: Cool and Freeze. Allow the assembled sandwiches to cool completely to room temperature. This step is crucial to prevent the bagels from becoming soggy. Wrap each sandwich tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Place the wrapped sandwiches into a large freezer-safe Ziploc bag, squeeze out the air, and freeze for up to 3 months.
