I try to have oatmeal with egg whites (added protein) for breakfast most weekday mornings. Once last week and now today I haven't been able to finish it. Just not a fan right now. So I want to try making some sort of breakfast sandwich or burrito at home that I can freeze and reheat. Anyone have any recipes? I'm not a veggie person but fine putting meat in them (bacon, sausage), cheese, potatoes, whatever else!
-
Totally following and watching for recipes!
-
I think I've seen a few breakfast burrito recipes on the blog!
-
Not make at home, but I bought some sausage croissant breakfast sandwiches from Costco and they have been easy to re-heat in the mornings.
I don't like burritos so the next warm breakfast food would be oatmeal.
-
I'm not a burrito fan but do make these breakfast sandwiches, and they are really good!
Make egg whites (or eggs) in muffin tin, bake for 20 minutes ( I add spinach, peppers, onion for some added veggies)
Cut English muffins in 1/2, and add 1/2 slice of cheese (I like white cheddar) and either Canadian bacon, turkey slice, or I've done the microwave bacon. Add egg when done and wrap up individually in plastic and place in freezer Ziploc bag. To make in morning unwrap, and stick in paper towel, microwave for 1-2 minutes!

i've been doing breakfast sandwiches. I take an english muffin, split it. Scramble up eggs with sausage and pour them into a measuring cup with some spray (the size of the cup is approximately as round as the english muffin). microwave for 1.5 minutes, dump onto a place, stick a slice of cheese on top, and let cool. Then stick between the bread slices. I make 5 and take them to work and am set all week.

I make breakfast burritos with scrambled eggs, sausage/bacon, cheddar, peppers and onions. I also add a little hot sauce. I pre make a bunch of them and freeze them in cling film or foil, and then heat them up in the microwave for 1 minute. They reheat really well!
Also, spanish omlettes freeze really well and you can cut them into slices before freezing to make them a quick on the go breakfast. I reheat them in the microwave for about 45 seconds. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2738/real-spanish-omelette

@bluestriped bee: Weight Watchers has an egg white and cheese sandwich that is good! If I can't make something, I'm going to have to go the purchased route. Oatmeal isn't agreeing with me
@LuLu Mom: Does the muffin tin-sized egg fill an English muffin? Does it smush down or something?
-
@blackbird: Oh interesting! I use to make egg whites in the microwave. Didn't think of that! I might do a mixture of eggs and egg whites and give that a shot.
@alohaorchid: Do you just scramble all of it on the strove and then assemble? I feel like I'm overthinking this, LOL!
-
@blackbird: that sounds supsuper easy & yummy! I think I may do that for breakfast next week!
-
I made these for after baby--I haven't tried them yet but making them wasn't hard! http://onceamonthmeals.com/egg-white-breakfast-sandwich/

I think there was a post here about freezable breakfast burritos recently. Ah-hah! http://www.hellobee.com/2014/01/27/homemade-frozen-breakfast-burritos/#more-88668
ETA: I pinned it, and that's how I found it, ha.
-
@LindsayInNY: I smush it down when I take it out of the pan, it has never made a "muffin" shape for me.
-
@LindsayInNY: Yup! It's as easy it sounds
I usually make them while dinner is in the oven or something.

I do a crustless quiche, baked in a 9 by 13 pan. Then I portion it out into servings for the week. It's very similar to the Spanish Omelet posted above. This week's version contains one potato, one onion, some cheese and a bunch of broccolini.
Oh, and don't limit yourself to breakfast foods at breakfast. If you can stomach it, try a chicken breast and vegetables.
-
Oooh yes I need these too!
-
@alohaorchid: Do the wraps get soggy after you reheat them since they were frozen?
-
Muffin-top tins are the perfect size for eggs if you're putting them on English muffins! I have one with six very shallow circular indentations. I spray each with a bit of oil, crack an egg into each, break the yolk and swirl it a bit, add a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and bake at 325 until the centers are just set -- the eggs will cook a little more when you heat the sandwich, so you don't need to go overboard baking them.
-
@Eko: I haven't had any issues with them getting soggy
-
I do something similar to this: http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/muffin-tin-breakfast-egg-muffins-to-go.html
I haven't tried freezing them. But you can make them on Sunday and they last in the fridge for the whole week.

So I made an attempt this evening... They look amazing, will update on taste tomorrow! I did one egg with one egg white, meat (bacon or sausage) and half a slice of cheese on top. I microwaved the eggs too so it was super easy!!
-
I'm not sure how these freeze, but they only take a few minutes. I think I ate one every morning while I was pregnant.
I use this microwave egg poacher, two egg whites, throw in the microwave for one minute. While that's cooking put a slice of cheese on a bagel and put it under the broiler until melted. Once the egg is done stack it all up and enjoy
Sometimes I'd put a slice of turkey, ham, or bacon on it, but not often. -
@LindsayInNY: How did it taste??
-
Late to the party!
I normally don't eat breakfast but because of gestational diabetes I had to start. My normal breakfast is half a tortilla, shredded cheese and Costco slice ham. I wake up split the tortilla, sprinkle the cheese on it and the ham... nuke it for 15-20 seconds and roll it up and go. -
@MrsBrewer: Tasted great! It reheated well. I might have to rethink the meat part of it because it discolored the eggs a little. But I ignored that and it tasted great!
I usually make them while dinner is in the oven or something.
