Can A Frozen Breakfast Sandwich Cure You Of Your Egg McMuffin Habit?

Thanks for your thoughts on the sandwich. I have eaten them and agree about the blandness but in a pinch when I am late they aren't bad. What do you think of the muffin tops that the company also makes?

Yikes! At almost $5.00 for two sandwiches, I'll find the time to make my own. Even if I don't have time to cook an egg, a smear of peanut butter and a little banana on an English Muffin is good...

Yikes...don't know why people don't make their own..in this case it's so easy. You just grill/poach the egg..toast english muffin..put a slice of cheese on it..all done :)

All looked pretty good until the ingredients list! It's really hard to eat something when you look at an ingredients list like that. Maybe good if you're in a big rush, but better off getting a dozen eggs, cheese and a pack of whole wheat english muffins, you'll save and make a lot more yourself, without the science experiment igredients list ;-)

I don't like the chocolate vitatops either. I eat the pumpkin and also the banana nut with a little PB on top they are delicious for breakfast. I agree that they use too much packaging. They are sold at Whole Foods so they don't contain artificial stuff.

I tend to stock up on the Vita products when they go on BOGO (I'm in Georgia and they are around $2.25 a package at Publix when this happens). Otherwise, yes, pricey. I think they taste OK, and they're good to keep in the freezer when I'm in a rush, but mostly I stick with the Vitatops.

hey Snack-Girl have you tried the Jimmy Dean brand version of these? They are a little bit higher in calories (230-290 depending on which you pick) but i would say that they are worth it. Check them out. http://jimmydean.com/products/DLights/

As far as price, I buy them at Sam's so I get a little more bang for my buck =)

I tried them too, and found both the texture and the taste unappetizing. Add the cost, and these won't be making it back into my freezer. Of course, I don't eat McMuffins either! ;o)

I do like the VitaBrownies & VitaTops, though!

My son has been wanting egg sandwiches for breakfast in the morning, and they are super easy to make in the microwave.

Spray Pam in a small bowl, microwave a srambled egg or egg beaters for one minute, add cheese and/or 1 slice of ham or 1-2 slices microwave bacon. Throw it on an english muffin or lately he's been asking for them on a tortilla (found some small ones for 83 calories). EASY! 2 minutes tops (And I usually won't cook breakfast during the week.

Also, Egg Beaters has a Southwest version that has a little spicy kick to it.

I'm with Tiffany - it takes approximately 5 minutes start to finish to poach an egg, toast an English muffin, and slice a piece of cheese. I bet if someone wanted to use scrambled eggs instead, it could easily be made the night before! Easy peasy.

Not to be a wet blanket, but Jimmy Dean's meat comes from horrific factory farms - I would never recommend eating anything they make...

Stacie

I tried these too and agree that there were unappetizing. They tasted liked powdered eggs:( I finished them though because at that price I was not going to throw them away!

Susan

I made homemade english muffins this week and they were super easy....yes a bit of time, but make them once, freeze them and you have enough for 2 weeks! my son just likes them with scrambled egg and a few grates of cheese!

(i would use whole wheat flour next time!)

michelle

I make my own using whole wheat light english muffins, egg whites and fat free sharp cheddar cheese and it only takes about 5 minutes.

Lisa

Im a vegeterian and don't eat eggs but my son sometimes likes an egg sandwich before school. They make a thing you put in the microwave that cooks two eggs at a time. I spray some pam, scramble them and pour them in. While they are cooking (for 1 minute), I toast the english muffin and add a piece of cheese. It takes very little time and is much better then the frozen versions. I got the microwave egg cooker at Target.

This Vita EggMcMuffins were aweful. They are tasteless and mine were watery. Maybe I didn't cook them enough. I took one bite and threw the box away. Love the VitaMuffins though..all of the flavors.

Sandre

Has anyone ever tried to make this themselves and freeze them? Are all the perservatives necessary to do my own?

Sandra LaMotta

The Weight Watchers SmartOnes Breakfast Quesadilla is absolutely delicious... highly recommend for an on-the-go packaged breakfast.

Lori

I agree with Stacie--Jimmy Dean uses factory meat from feed lots....yuck. I wouldn't even feed my dog meat from those places. It is worth the little extra work to make yourself something delicious (not all those chemicals--skip the American cheese which is processed that shouldn't even be legal to call a cheese) and save a lot of money in a little bit of time.

BTW--snack girl you rock and I am so happy I found this website! You have made me think about what I put in my body and have really helped change my attitude towards food! Thanks!

You can absolutely make your own breakfast sandwiches and freeze them! I'll make mine on a Sunday afternoon before the week starts.

Mix two dozen egg whites, thawed frozen spinach, and sauteed onions and garlic. Pour a thin layer of the mixture into a greased baking dish. You only want an inch of egg substance in the bottom of the dish.

Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes. Cut into squares, just smaller than the size of an english muffin. Let cool, and then assemble. English muffin, egg piece, cheese slice, maybe some leftover chicken or turkey...whatever you fancy. Then wrap in a sandwich bag and stick in the freezer. When you're ready to eat, just wrap in a paper towel and microwave for 2 minutes.

I usually get one sandwich per egg so if you use a dozen eggs, you should get a dozen sandwiches. Best part is, you know exactly what is in it!

I still stand by the deliciousness of my toad in a hole. There may be butter, but at least I can tell you where the eggs and bread came from.

Maybe this is good while camping (if you're like us and don't actually build a fire--we use a camp stove).

Leah

I'm a big time vita-fan but they vita-tops do run a little pricey so I buy them on the vita muffin website. $29.99 for 24 tops!

At Target, I bought this box of Vitalicious egg n cheese sandwiches from the freezer section. This morning I microwaved it, as indicated, on the box and it was HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!! I took the first bite, thinking maybe on the second bite, the taste might improve, but to my dismay it was even more horrible. I had to throw it all away. Why was this product marketed, if a taste test was done, it was probably done by someone with paralyzed taste buds. Don't buy it, you'll be wasting your money. The whole box with the spit out two bites are sitting in the bottom of the trash can. The person who designed this recipe should be terminated. Destroyed my whole day because of a bad beginning. Will forever despise this product and this company.

These are pretty yucky. Very bland and the muffin is very dense. I got the veggie kind and will not buy them again. However, I tried the frozen flatbread breakfast sandwiches (not sure of the brand, sorry) and those are tasty. I think they are around 200 calories, but that is fine for breakfast. Also, making them yourself is not really an option for everyone which is why we buy the frozen kind.

Leen

These are probably one of the worst frozen meals I've ever had. I 100% agree with you, VERY bland. I'm trying to make better choices in the morning, so I picked these up for $5 at my local health food store. Just now I put a veggie sausage patty in my sandwich, hoping to make it better. It was so horrible that I pulled out the patty and dipped it in maple syrup instead. Very counterproductive with eating healthy :) I will never buy these again, waste of money!

I have looked far and wide for frozen egg and cheese sandwiches. There isn't one to be found anywhere. They all have meat in them.

Is the PORK TRUST putting the kibosh on all non-meat breakfast sandwiches? I have come to this conclusion.
