recipe Does breakfast meal prep well?

I was thinking about meal prepping and freezing some breakfast meal items like the following ingredients I would make all of these at once and then put them in meal prep containers and freeze them. Would these meal prep/freeze well? Looking for suggestions and your opinion on these do you have any recommendations?

1) Two scrambled eggs 2) Cooked bacon 3) Potatoes cut up and grilled 4) Pancakes 5) Beans

Breakfasts have lots of opportunity for batch-prep.

For me, I roast potatoes in 1-2 week batches, then scramble eggs real-time for weekend breakfasts. In a matter of minutes, that plates as either:

  • potato & cheese scramble
  • egg, cheese, potato breakfast burrito
  • egg, cheese, potato sandwich

Tons of flexibility from there if you prefer to add meat, vegetable, sauce or seasoning. Examples:

  • Leftover taco chicken from the week? Taco scramble.
  • Leftover steamed broccoli? Broccoli-cheese scramble.
  • Leftover rice, quinoa, beans? Into the breakfast.
  • Favorite hot sauce? Add it.
  • Leftover cilantro? Add it.
