MAKE-AHEAD BACON AND CHEESE BREAKFAST SANDWICHES



Make-Ahead Bacon and Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches image

Thanks to this recipe, the classic bacon, egg and cheese is no longer relegated to the weekends. Make six of these sandwiches all at once, then wrap and freeze for a comforting, easy breakfast to enjoy anytime.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 6 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking pan, optional
Salted butter, at room temperature, for the baking pan and/or spreading, optional
6 slices thick-cut bacon (about 6 ounces)
10 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 slices sharp Cheddar (about 6 ounces)
6 English muffins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or grease with butter.
  • Add the bacon to a cold medium skillet heat over medium heat. Cook, flipping occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
  • Whisk the eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper together in a large bowl. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake until puffed and set, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • Place the English muffins cut-side up on a baking sheet and brush with some butter if using. Bake until slightly toasty, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, use a large round biscuit cutter (about 3 3/4 inches in diameter) or the rim of a drinking glass to cut out 6 rounds. (For ways to use the leftover egg scraps, see Cook's Note.) Using an offset spatula or a butter knife, remove each egg round from the pan and place on bottom half of an English muffin. Top each with a slice of bacon, one slice of Cheddar and the other muffin half. Wrap each sandwich individually with aluminum foil, put in a resealable plastic bag and freeze up to 1 month or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  • To reheat, unwrap a sandwich and place on a paper towel on a microwave-safe dish. Microwave 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and eggs are warmed through. Alternatively, thaw a foil-wrapped frozen sandwich overnight in the refrigerator, then bake in a 425-degree F oven until warmed through and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.

LEEK, CHEDDAR & BACON LOAF SANDWICH



Leek, cheddar & bacon loaf sandwich image

Do away with pesky slices of bread and bake your cheesy filling into your loaf - serve as thick wedges

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Main course

Time 1h25m

Yield Cuts into 10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 10

500g pack bread mix
2 tbsp olive oil
200g smoked bacon lardon
2 tbsp butter
3 large fat leeks , thinly sliced
little flour , for dusting
200g mature cheddar , diced
2 eggs , beaten separately
10 sage leaves, thinly shredded
2 tbsp grated parmesan

Steps:

  • Make up the bread mix following pack instructions, using the 2 tbsp oil and the recommended amount of water. Leave in an oiled bowl, covered with oiled cling film, somewhere warm-ish to rise for 1 hr.
  • Meanwhile, put the lardons in a big, cold frying pan. Heat gently at first so the fat runs from the lardons before they crisp up - about 10 mins. Remove with a slotted spoon. Add the butter and leeks to the pan and cook to soften. Cool.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle about 20 x 70cm. Mix the lardons, leeks, cheddar, one of the eggs, the sage and some seasoning. Spoon the filling down one long edge of the rectangle, then brush the edge with some remaining egg. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and pinch together the edges, but not the ends, to seal into a long sausage. Carefully shape into a ring on a floured baking tray, around a floured empty jar or tin. Pinch together the open ends to finish the ring. Brush all over with egg, scatter with Parmesan and cover with a clean tea towel. Leave to rise for 15-20 mins.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake for 30-40 mins until golden and the base sounds hollow when tapped. Eat in wedges.
