Maple Dijon Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches

These Maple Dijon Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches are a great way to meal prep, stock up your freezer and save money on breakfast in the morning.

First things first: these are not your average breakfast sandwiches. The maple dijon sauce alone takes them over the top—it’s slightly sweet from the maple syrup, tangy from the mustard, and just a little savory from garlic and salt. When it gets brushed onto the bacon during the last few minutes of baking, it caramelizes slightly and creates the most incredible flavor.

Here’s why these work so well:

• Meal prep friendly – Make a batch once, eat all week
• Freezer-friendly – Perfect for stocking up
• Protein-packed – Eggs, bacon, and cheese keep you full
• Kid-approved – Sweet + savory is always a win
• Customizable – Easy to tweak based on what you have

Whether you’re feeding your family or just want something reliable to grab in the morning, these sandwiches check every box.

Let’s Talk Ingredients

English muffins: These are the perfect base because they toast up beautifully and hold everything together without getting soggy. If you’re gluten-free, just swap in your favorite GF version.

Eggs + milk: Whisking the eggs with a little milk makes them extra fluffy and tender when baked. It’s a small step that makes a big difference.

Bacon: You can use traditional pork bacon or turkey bacon—both work. Turkey bacon is a bit lighter, while regular bacon gives you that classic crispy richness.

Cheese: Cheddar is a go-to here because it melts well and adds a sharp flavor, but you can easily use American, pepper jack, mozzarella, or even Swiss.

Maple dijon sauce: This is the star. It ties everything together and gives these sandwiches their signature flavor.

How to Make Maple Dijon Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches

Prep the ingredients:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together the maple syrup, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and salt in a small bowl.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×9 baking dish.

Cook the eggs and bacon:

1. Lay your bacon slices in a single layer.
2. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush or drizzle 1–2 tablespoons of the maple dijon sauce over the bacon.
3. Remove from the oven and set aside.
4. Bake both the bacon and eggs at 400°F for about 10–12 minutes
5. Let the eggs cool slightly, then use a round cookie cutter (or even the rim of a glass) to cut them into circles that match the size of your English muffins.
6. Slice each English muffin in half and lightly toast them. This step helps prevent sogginess and adds that perfect golden crunch.

Assemble each sandwich:

1. 1. Bottom half of English muffin
   2. Egg round
   3. Slice of cheese
   4. Bacon (2 slices per sandwich)
   5. Optional extra drizzle of maple dijon sauce
   6. Top half of English muffin

Store the sandwiches:

1. Once assembled, let the sandwiches cool completely.
2. Wrap each sandwich in parchment paper (or foil), then place them in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag.
3. Store in the freezer for up to 2–3 months.

How to Reheat

These Maple Dijon Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches reheat beautifully, which is what makes them such a staple.

From the Freezer:

Microwave (quickest option):

• Remove parchment paper
• Wrap in a paper towel
• Microwave for 1–2 minutes, flipping halfway through

Oven (best texture):

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Keep sandwich wrapped in foil
• Heat for about 15–20 minutes or until warmed through

Air fryer (crispy option):

• Remove wrapping
• Heat at 350°F for 6–8 minutes

Tips for Success

• Don’t skip toasting the muffins – It makes a huge difference in texture
• Let eggs cool before cutting – This helps them hold their shape
• Use a cookie cutter for clean edges – Totally optional but makes them feel extra polished
• Double the batch – You’ll be glad you did

Easy Variations

One of the best things about these sandwiches is how customizable they are.

Make them dairy-free: Skip the cheese or use a dairy-free alternative

Add veggies: Spinach, sautéed peppers, or caramelized onions are great additions

Switch the protein: Try sausage patties instead of bacon

Make it spicy: Add a little hot sauce or use spicy mustard in the maple dijon

Use different bread: Bagels, biscuits, or sandwich thins all work

Make It a Complete Breakfast

Pair your sandwich with:

• Fresh fruit
• A smoothie
• Yogurt with granola
• Coffee (obviously)

You’ve got a balanced, satisfying breakfast that actually keeps you full.
