Meal prep eggs for easy breakfast sandwiches
Whether you assemble one in the morning or choose to prep several in advance, breakfast sandwiches are one of my favorite items to suggest for busy mornings. There are so many varieties to choose from to fit your taste preferences and nutrition needs. See the end of this post for some ideas!
Meal prepping your eggs for breakfast sandwiches in advance cuts out a chunk of time that would be spent cooking in the morning. And let’s be honest – that chunk of time needed to “make breakfast” is one of the most common barriers and reasons why we might tend to skip breakfast overall. While breakfast might not be the “most important meal of the day,” it is a huge window of opportunity to help us meet our nutrient needs, maintain consistent energy levels, and manage hunger!
Equipment needed for meal prep eggs
- Medium mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk or fork
- Silicone egg mold
- Cooking spray (specifically if using egg whites)
- Sheet pan to stabilize egg mold
- Parchment paper
Silicone EGG MOLD
These silicone egg molds make the perfect shape and size to meal prep eggs for sandwiches!
How to cook eggs for meal prep breakfast sandwiches using a silicone egg mold
Whole eggs
8 large
eggs
2 tbsp
reduced-fat milk or cottage cheese
to taste
salt and pepper or cajun seasoning
Egg whites
16oz
liquid egg whites – 1 small carton
to taste
salt and pepper or cajun seasoning
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Pre-heat oven to 350F
Step 2: Place empty silicone egg mold on a parchment paper lined baking sheet
*Do NOT skip this step! The egg molds are flimsy and will spill if you pick them up after you fill them. I like to add a layer of parchment paper for easy cleanup just in case some spills. Learn from my mistakes… š
Step 3: Spray silicone egg mold with a light coat of cooking spray.
I don’t find this necessary when using whole eggs…but it is very important if you are cooking plain egg whites!
Step 4: Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl and pour evenly into egg molds
Step 5: Gently place the pan in the oven and bake for 12-15+ minutes or until eggs are set and no longer jiggle when you nudge the pan
*The whole eggs may rise when cooking…but don’t worry, they’ll go back down once cooled!
Step 6: Allow to cool completely before removing from the molds
Step 7: Store in an airtight container in the fridge until you are ready to assemble your sandwich/sandwiches
Airtight Storage container
The Rubbermaid brilliance glass products have recently become some of my favorite storage containers!

Protein: meal prep eggs, turkey sausage patties, sliced ham or turkey, bacon or turkey bacon
Grain/Starch: bagel, english muffin, sliced bread – choose a whole grain or whole wheat option for more fiber!
Color: I like to add some fresh spinach to my breakfast sandwiches…you could also cook some bell peppers and onions into your eggs or pair with a side of berries
Flavor: sliced cheese is a must! š
