Everything inside me told me not to do this. Who was I to believe that I could make decent breakfast sandwiches at home? I live in New York, for heaven's sake. There's no way my dinky skillet could ever compete with the flavor of a bodega griddle that's made thousands of egg sandwiches and seen few, if any, cleanings in its lifetime.

(A good foodie friend of mine once told me that he welcomed the letter grade system in New York because a "B" really just indicated more flavor. And if you think about it, he's kind of right. A pristine kitchen means none of that cakey, crusty deliciousness that inevitably makes its way into your food at less-than-perfectly-clean spots.)

And yet, I still decided I wanted to make my own freezer-friendly breakfast sandwiches a few weeks ago. I won't pretend my versions were anywhere near as tasty as the bacon and egg sandwiches I get at the cart outside of the subway station or the deli down the street. But when it comes to saving a few bucks and 10 minutes on busy mornings, having a few of these in the freezer has turned out to be totally worth it.

I made my own breakfast sausage, but you can also just find some patties in the freezer aisle or use baked bacon strips!

Now I must go and watch more episodes of Seinfeld on Hulu. God bless Julia Louis Dreyfus for giving me life, my sister's boyfriend for lending me his Hulu Plus login and whomever created those flosser tools. Flossing with those things while watching Seinfeld is my new favorite pasttime. Oral hygiene can be fun, guys!

Hope you all had a happy Fourth!!

I based this recipe/idea off of this one from The Kitchn.
