How To Cook Frozen Breakfast Sandwich In Air Fryer

1 sandwich is made

I designed this recipe with the intention of preparing sandwiches in bulk and freezing them so you have lots of fast, ready-to-eat choices on hand. As a result, I’ve only provided the ingredients for one sandwich. This manner, you can quickly adapt them to your requirements and produce as large or as little a quantity as you need. Then, all you have to do is add some dinosaur nuggets to your air fryer and your child’s lunch is done!

Ingredients:

Method:

1) Preparation

1. Of course, start by making your sandwich! Well. Sorta. Since, as Binging With Babish puts it, moisture is the enemy of the freezer, we’ll need to do some prepping. Then, pick the bread you’ll be using; we’ll be pre-toasting it. Toast it in an oven, toaster, or air fryer (follow my instructions mentioned earlier for toasting croissants). Pull them out when softly toasted and keep an eye on them so they don’t burn or over-toast. Let them to cool for 5 minutes after toasting, then cut them in half and cool again.
2. While your bread is toasting, start heating your bacon and sausages in a pot (you can swap this out for spam, or any other breakfast sandwich meat). Place them in a pan over low-medium heat and cover with a lid to ensure equal heating. You may de-case and crush the sausages if you wish. I prefer to use caramelized onion sausages, but pan-fried or air-fried boudin can also work! Let them to cook for a few minutes, turning periodically. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool after cooked to your preferred texture or until browned (avoid undercooking the bacon).
3. Add your egg(s) and scramble them without removing the fat or cleaning the pan. Add some salt and paprika to taste as soon as you put them to the skillet and scramble them. Then scramble some more. Add a tiny handful of grated cheddar cheese and continue scrambling until they’re half-cooked. When they’re done, place them on a dish to cool. Spread out the egg to allow it to cool quicker. After everything has cooled to at least room temperature, it is time to assemble!

2) Freezing

1. Before you begin, be certain that everything has cooled to at least room temperature. To begin, take your sliced bread halves and top each with a piece of cheese. This will help to protect your bread from moisture-containing components. This is done so that when you reheat your sandwich, the other components will not get mushy. It will also block your ingredients from dropping through the hole if you’re constructing a morning bagel. Following that, add the Soggy Ingredients to one side of the dish, which includes the meats and scrambled egg. Close the sandwich with the remaining half, leaving the cheese in front of the bread. This is an excellent approach for preparing frozen foods. I even use it to make stovetop quesadillas on a rainy day.
2. container, as long as it closes tightly and is of excellent quality. This is critical since poor quality glass Tupperware may fracture when frozen. After they’re done, just place them in the freezer! It’s finally time to wrap! Wrap your sandwiches in parchment paper, wax paper, or cling film, one at a time. Finally, take some aluminum foil and securely wrap them a second time (if using wax wraps). This is done to avoid freezer burn. Alternately, place all of your sandwiches in a well-fitting glass Tupperware container.

3) Defrosting And Air Frying

1. The first step in reheating a frozen sandwich is to partly thaw it. To achieve this, I place the sandwich on a platter someplace warm or in the sun for approximately 30 minutes. In the meanwhile, keep it away from vermin and pets (use a cake cover or something adjacent). If this is not feasible, I will walk you through an alternate way in the following step.
2. To avoid the defrosting step, you’ll have to reverse part of the previous work. Remove your sandwich from the freezer and cut it open. You’ll want to divide it into two halves again, one with bread, cheese, and some filling and the other with the same. Place both pieces of bread in your air fryer (sides up, if usual), and cook for 6 minutes at 340 F. At this time to add any sauces or seasonings you like before cooking.
3. After defrosting, just put your sandwich in the air fryer and cook at 340 F for 2-3 minutes. If you defrosted your sandwich in the air fryer, just reassemble it and proceed as before.
