Spend a little time making Frozen Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches now to save time and money later! These yummy, busy morning-friendly sandwiches taste like they've just been cooked.
This year will be the first year that I have 2 children in school. If that is not stressful enough, they will be at two different schools, starting and ending at two different times.
In an effort to make the first few weeks go smoothly, I took a morning to prepare easy hearty breakfasts that the kids can unwrap, microwave, and eat without my help.
They love the prepackaged breakfast sandwiches, but I hate the price. With the help of Grocery Outlet (and their awesome deals) I was able to make 12 of these Frozen Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches for a fraction of the cost of the prepared boxed versions.
Ingredients Needed for Frozen Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches
- 12 frozen croissants
- 10 eggs
- 1 pound of bacon
- 12 slices cheese
How to Make Frozen Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches
While Frozen Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches are not hard to make, they are a bit time consuming (don't let this deter you!), but well worth the effort for easy school mornings! Spend a little time now to save time (and money) later.
Here is how you make Frozen Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches...
Each ingredient needs to be cooked, then frozen in one layer on a cookie sheet. For example, start with the cheese. Slice desired amount of cheese and place on a cookie sheet. Freeze for 1 hour. Follow with the bacon or sausage...cook then freeze, etc etc.
This is done to make the best Frozen Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches. When everything is frozen individually, you can layer the sandwich, wrap in wax paper then saran wrap, and stick in the freezer. When you are ready to eat, remove from the freezer, remove plastic wrap, microwave for 2 minutes and you have a sandwich that tastes like it has just been cooked.
Frozen Croissant Breakfast Sandwiches tip: You can also make these with English muffins!

Do you microwave with the wax paper on?

I make very similar sandwiches but have always assembled normally then freeze. It works just fine and less time consuming.

I was wondering what the benefit would be to freezing everything individually?
Sandra Hunter
This looks delicious and easy!

I just did this, but when microwaved the croissants were pretty hard 🙁 Any idea why?

Just as yummy if you freeze everything after but a great tip is to use a damp paper towel over sandwich first then wrap in wax paper and freeze. to re-heat in microwave, I take off wax paper and heat in the once damp paper towel for 2-3 mins.
