Jessica over at "Life As Mom" has a recipe swap going on today with breakfast as the theme. I love the way she makes eggs (what I would call 'over-easy') and totally plan to steal that idea next time I'm making my egg/cheese/bacon biscuits.
One problem some families have with breakfast is the morning rush. That's where 'freeze-ahead' comes in handy. In fact, my son James just asked me when I was going to make those fake-o Egg McMuffins again. (Well, I use biscuits, not muffins, but I'm sure English Muffins would work here.) Here is the recipe:
Freeze-ahead Egg/Bacon/Cheese Biscuits
A can of Grands Biscuits (Yeah, I cheat. Make your own if you like, but biscuits aren't my strong point, and I can get these pretty cheap with coupons)
Eggs--if you scramble them, you can probably get two sandwiches from one egg
Your favorite cheese, sliced
Bacon
There are no set amounts here--just go by what you think your family will eat, or at least by what won't fall off the edges.
Bake the biscuits and split them in half
Fry or scramble the eggs.
Fry the bacon.
Put some egg on a biscuit, then a piece of cheese, then some bacon. Put the top on the biscuit. Do this with all the biscuits.
You can eat these right now, or you can wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and throw them in a plastic bag in the freezer. For my microwave, it takes about a minute for each biscuit to reheat from frozen, but you have to adjust for your own.
Of course, you can trade out the bacon for ham or sausage. Those round sausage patties you brown and serve would work great.
Whether you make this from scratch or cheat with Grands as I do, they are better than McDonald's and oh-so-much cheaper!

GREAT!!! idea.
I was reading about your family, love all the pets. We have two ferrets, two dogs and a bird. I also have two boys, but they are all grown up. They still live at home and the pets belong to them.

My guys would love these!
I've done these once or twice in the morning. I hadn't thought about freezing them. That would be a really good idea.
anything to save $$$ and X. Sweet blog!
