Freezer Breakfast Cupcakes

School will be starting again soon, and I don’t know about you, but I’m already starting to dread our hectic mornings. My kids are not early risers, so getting them out the door and off to school with a hearty, protein-filled breakfast in their bellies can be a challenge.

Luckily these yummy freezer breakfast cupcakes are a snap to make in a large batch, then freeze ahead of time for a hot, hearty, delicious and FAST morning treat that my kids absolutely love.

Here is what you need:

6 pieces dry bread, diced
1 package of 12 turkey sausage link​s
10 eggs
1 cup milk
2 cups shredded cheese
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
Cooking spray, butter or cupcake liners

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Brown sausage or other breakfast meat; slice into bite-sized pieces and set aside. (I used fully cooked sausage, so I did not have to brown it first.)

Step 2: Cut bread into small cubes and set aside.

Step 3: Whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper; set aside.

Step 4: Press cubed bread into bottoms of 18 greased muffin tins. (You could also use cupcake liners instead.)

Step 5: Divide cheese over top of bread.

Step 6: Divide meat over top of cheese.

Step 7: Carefully pour egg mixture over top of meat and cheese until each tin is full. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until egg is puffy and set.

Step 8: Serve immediately or let cool completely and freeze. To serve on busy mornings, simply microwave for 30-45 seconds until warm! Makes 18 muffins.

  • Can this be adapted to cook in an Instant Pot? How would you adjust the recipe (if needed) and cooking times?

  • Hi - can you provide package sizes on the hashbrowns and the breakfast meat? There were several options at my store. I ended up with not enough sausage and WAY too many hashbrowns. They are in the oven now - smell great! I can't wait to try them!

  • This idea is so good. I haven't branched out into freezer cooking yet but I've read much and you make it seem easy so I'll have to make these for the family. Thanks for the recipe!

  • I premake a large batch of whole wheat pancakes and freeze them. Then in the mornings i pop one or two in the toaster and BAM... healthy, quick breakfast!

  • These look so yummy. I am pinning to try later! I love good and easy breakfast options.
