Made From Scratch Breakfast Sandwiches
There’s something extra satisfying about making your own breakfast sandwiches completely from scratch, especially when it’s a bagel breakfast sandwich. Like yes, you could totally go grab one from your favorite drive-thru, but building them at home? It just hits better. These are one of my go-to meal prep staples—especially when I want to feel like I have my life together (even just a little bit). And the fact that you can grab one straight from the freezer and have it hot in minutes? Elite.
I used my High Protein Everything Bagels for the base, and trust me, it makes a difference. Soft, a little chewy, packed with flavor. Then you layer in this creamy baked egg (blended with cottage cheese, of course), melty cheddar, Canadian bacon or sausage, and a drizzle of Mike’s Hot Honey. It’s that perfect combo of salty, sweet, and just a little spicy. These keep so well in the freezer, and they’re one of those breakfasts you’ll actually look forward to on busy mornings. The ideal choice here is a breakfast sandwich made with bagels.

Recipe Tips
Toast the bagels first: Lightly toasting the bagels before assembling helps them hold their structure after freezing and prevents them from getting soggy when reheated. Even just a quick toast makes all the difference for that chewy, satisfying bite, especially for a homemade breakfast sandwich.
Cut eggs to fit: If you want that classic breakfast sandwich look, use a biscuit cutter to cut the baked egg into circles that fit the bagel perfectly. No cutter? No problem—just slice into squares, and they’ll still stack beautifully on your bagel breakfast creation.
Wrap tightly for freshness: Wrap each sandwich tightly in parchment paper (or foil) before freezing. This keeps freezer burn away, helps them reheat evenly, and makes them grab-and-go ready for busy mornings, perfect for ensuring the freshness of your bagel breakfast masterpiece.
Add the honey last: For the best sweet-spicy combo, drizzle Mike’s Hot Honey after reheating. Adding it before freezing can make things soggy or dull the flavor, but fresh out of the microwave or air fryer? Game changer, especially when enhancing your morning bagel sandwich.
Ingredient Swaps: No cottage cheese ? Use plain Greek yogurt instead for a similar protein boost and creamy texture. No Canadian bacon? Use regular bacon, turkey bacon, or sausage patties. No bagels ? Sub with English muffins, sandwich bread, or even croissant rolls if you want to switch it up. Dairy-free ? Use a plant-based cheese and swap the cottage cheese for a dairy-free yogurt. Consider how these swaps can impact your bagel breakfast innovation.
Room Temperature: Best eaten fresh, but they can be left out for a day tightly wrapped, ensuring your bagel sandwich is just as delightful after resting.
Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20–30 seconds or toast until warmed through for the best bagel breakfast experience.
Freezer: Wrap individually and freeze for up to 3 months. Let thaw at room temp or microwave 30 seconds OR bake at 350°F for 5–7 minutes; these methods ensure a delicious bagel breakfast outcome.
