Rather than stopping on your way to work for an Egg McMuffin, try making your own breakfast sandwiches instead. On top of an English muffin, layer cheese, eggs and deli ham. Wrap in plastic and freeze. When you’re ready to reheat, microwave for 1 minute on 50 percent power, then flip the sandwich and microwave 1 minute on regular power. Get the recipe here
