Make breakfast interesting again with these delicious breakfast sandwiches! English muffins topped with Canadian bacon, cheddar cheese slices and egg whites. These breakfast sandwiches easily freeze for quick warm-up during the week. 

When I first met my husband, it was a rare day that he actually ate breakfast before work in the morning. And if he did eat breakfast beforehand, it would be a bowl of sugary cereal with milk, and absolutely no protein. After seven years of dating and two months of marriage, I’ve finally found a food that he’s willing to eat for breakfast, every day, that includes both carbs and protein: egg and ham sandwiches.

It all started when we made the move over here to Fort Worth. I was at the grocery store and I was trying to find something simple that we could just microwave while we were in the middle of packing all of our belongings. I found the Jimmy Dean Delights breakfast sandwich, which was an English muffin with Canadian bacon and American cheese. I bought a couple boxes and he really loved them. Every morning when we had them in the freezer, he would take one out and warm it up. 

And in my opinion, a Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich for breakfast is better than no breakfast at all. The only issue is the high sodium count and the price. I try to plan our lunches and dinners to have less sodium so that’s not really a big deal– the price is what’s the issue. Jimmy Dean sells four sandwiches for $6. 

A pack of 6 English muffins costs $1.70, a pack of 18 cheddar slices is $3, egg whites are about $5 for a large carton, and the Canadian bacon (the most expensive part) is about $3.50 for 10 slices. After a lot of confusing math I figured out that it’s much cheaper to make these ourselves. I make 12-18 at a time and freeze them all, wrapped tightly in cling wrap and placed into a freezer bag. 

Check out today’s video (my second ever video!!) for step by step instructions!

  1. Nice video. Such a great make-ahead sandwich.So you are now in Fort Worth. My friend lives there – went to visit him once and saw a game at TCU. You get a lot more bang for your buck in real estate (as compared to LA). Enjoy Forth Worth.
