Tips & Variations

  • Try adding spinach, mushrooms, or onions for extra veggies and flavor.
  • Use turkey or chicken sausage as a leaner meat option.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cheese with a non-dairy alternative or omit it.
  • Wrap sandwiches tightly to prevent freezer burn and keep them fresh longer.

Storage

Store the individually wrapped sandwiches in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. To reheat, microwave covered with a damp paper towel for 1-2 minutes, or heat in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven or toaster oven for 10-15 minutes for a crispier texture.

How to Serve

The bottom layer is a toasted muffin, followed by a thick, juicy sausage patty in a rich brown color with a slightly crispy edge. Above the sausage is a melted, bright orange slice of cheddar cheese that oozes slightly around the sausage. Another toasted muffin layer sits on top of the cheese, with another layer of melted cheddar cheese peeking out below the top muffin, showing a gooey, shiny texture. The sandwich is placed on a dark surface that contrasts the colors and textures, making the layers stand out vividly. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
