Apple + CHeese + Ham Breakfast Sandwiches
All of the flavors of fall coming together in one tasty breakfast sandwich, I promise- you will love these!
Creator: Leslie Stokes
OK OK Just hear me out. I know what you are thinking- apples + eggs?
And my answer is yessssss! These are 12/10 so so good!
I don’t know why when the leaves start to fall I just want to add apple to everything, but I do. Since the apples are covered with the provolone cheese, the actually do not turn brown and they do get slightly cooked in the air fryer/oven. I promise you will love it. If not, just leave them out!
Ingredients:
- eggs
- apples
- provolone cheese
- thyme
- english muffins
- sliced ham

The english muffins-
I really try to eat glutten free as much as possible and I actually love the Glutino Brand English Muffins better than a regualr english muffin- they are so so buttery! I get them in the frozen section at Walmart.
If you don’t eat glutten free, I would suggest a sourdough english muffin.
Cooking the english muffins
I cooked mine in the air fryer because my air fryer is big enough, but you can also cook them in the oven.
Open them up and lay them flat on a pan, toast for about 3-4 minutes in the oven at 425° (after the meatloaf is done) or in the air fryer (I used the toast setting at a 4). Take them out and add the apple slices to one side and top the apples with cheese. Place them back into the oven/air fryer for another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
The easiest way to cook eggs for breakfast sandwiches is in these silicone trays!
There are a few ways you can cook eggs- obviously you can fry them or scramble them, but for meal prep sandwiches, I love using these egg trays because they are the perfect size and make for an eay prep + clean up!
If using an 8×8 baking tray-
- line it with parchment papper
- scramble the eggs first and then add to the pan
- season with salt + pepper and then bake
Tips for this Meal Prep
I prepared this meal with the Sriracha BBQ Turkey Meatloaves! I was able to make both of these meals in less than an hour, here’s how I did it-
- I started by shredding the zucchini and making the meatloaf mixture
- I placed the meatloaf into the oven and cracked the eggs into the tray. I placed the eggs into the oven underneath the meatloaf. It’s ok to cook these at the same time at cuch a high temperature because the eggs will not cook as fast at the bottom, just keep an eye on them!
- while the eggs and meatloaf were cooking I cooked the cauliflower and green beans.
- about the time i was done mashing the caulflower, the meatloaf was ready. I let that cool down while I toasted the english muffins + apples.
- I put the meatloaf away while the sandwiches cooled down.
- I started the clean up and then put away the sandwiches
that’s it!
I hope this meal prep helps you! Don’t forget to follow along on social meadia for more Meal Prep + healthy recipes!
