The old cliché about the importance of breakfast may be true. But, when you are trying to get out the door and have a million other things on your mind, breakfast may very well fall to the wayside. Here's a hack to keep your week humming along: Lean into easy-to-prep breakfast sandwiches that come together seamlessly in a muffin pan.

To get your sandwiches going, start with a jumbo greased muffin tin. A silicone muffin pan like Vnray's jumbo tin on Amazon is particularly helpful, as its flexible form allows you to push from the bottom and readily pop out these breakfast beauties. From there, separate half of a canned biscuit of your choice and place it in the bottom. Next up is dealer's choice. You can add any pre-cooked meat like turkey sausage or bacon (or skip the meat entirely), and a few squares of your favorite cheese. 

Then, top each well with whisked eggs (four eggs for six sandwiches is a good rule of thumb) and season to taste. Finish with the remaining biscuit half and pop in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until they look golden brown. Once they come out of the oven, give them a quick brush with melted butter and then let them cool.

Rather than relying on a range of fast food breakfast sandwiches, these at-home stacks can be customized any way you like. Plus, they are simple to make and keep beautifully for up to five days in a sealed container or zip-top bag in the fridge, so you can pop one in the microwave any time you like. To keep the sandwich texture moist without becoming soggy and make you feel like you've just left an NYC deli, reheat your sandwich in the microwave, wrap it in deli paper, grab your coffee, and off you go. 

If you'd like to mix up the equation, you could also incorporate sturdy veggies like red peppers. You can also add more tender options like spinach or a few slices of tomato, but they do have more moisture content, so they may not keep as well in the fridge. Or, give the tops a flavor boost with honey butter or even hot honey butter if you're feeling spicy. If you'd like to walk the savory and sweet line, you could also smear your breakfast sandwich with some jam just before eating. One thing is for sure, you better call dibs (or make plenty of extras) before others start to devour your muffin pan day-starters.
