The Kitchn: A perfect start to a busy morning

By Kelli Foster on

Made in a big batch, these freezer-friendly breakfast sandwiches are your solution to an easy and satisfying hot breakfast on even the most hectic weekday mornings.

This is your classic ham, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich reimagined into a freezer-friendly quesadilla. Creamy scrambled eggs are piled between slices of deli ham, along with a layer of mild, nutty Gruyere and a swipe of Dijon, for a hot, make-ahead breakfast that will get you excited for the morning meal.

Consider the fold

To make these breakfast quesadillas freezer-friendly, we ditched the classic wedge cut for a technique that keeps all the ingredients nestled in a fully closed tortilla. I followed my colleague Christine Gallary's method, layering the ingredients in the center of the tortilla, then closing the edges of the tortilla over the ham, eggs and cheese in five folds. Consider it a quesadilla pocket. It sounds trickier than it is, and once you get going, it's quite easy to pick up.

Meals for days

 

Because you're putting in the work to prepare breakfast in advance, you deserve to get the most out of your efforts. All these sandwiches will take you through well over a week of breakfasts.
