Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 12 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Meat

  • 12 slices cooked bacon, sausage patties, ham, or Canadian bacon

Other

  • 12 English muffins
  • 12 slices cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and generously grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Egg Mixture: Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and freshly ground black pepper using an electric mixer or whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Bake Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the greased pan evenly and bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the center is just set but not overcooked to maintain fluffiness.
  4. Cool and Cut: Remove the baked eggs from the oven and allow them to cool completely before cutting into 12 equal squares to fit your English muffins.
  5. Assemble Sandwiches: Split each English muffin in half and layer one piece of baked egg, one slice of cheese, and one slice of your chosen cooked meat on the bottom half. Top with the other muffin half.
  6. Optional Immediate Heating: If eating right away, place assembled sandwiches in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and sandwiches are warmed through.
  7. Freeze Sandwiches: To freeze, wrap each sandwich individually in tinfoil, wax paper, or parchment paper and place all parties into a freezer-safe resealable bag. Freeze for up to 1 month.
  8. Reheating from Frozen: For best results, thaw sandwiches overnight in the refrigerator. Remove wrapping and rewrap in a paper towel, then microwave on defrost (50% power) for 40 seconds to 1 minute. Flip and microwave an additional 10-30 seconds on high until heated through.
  9. Alternative Reheating: You can also reheat sandwiches in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven or toaster oven for 10-15 minutes until warmed and cheese is melted.

Notes

  • Use your preferred cooked breakfast meat such as bacon, sausage patties, ham, or Canadian bacon to customize your sandwich.
  • Do not overbake the eggs; they should be just set to keep them fluffy and moist.
  • For easier assembling and reheating, cool the baked egg fully before cutting.
  • Freeze sandwiches wrapped tightly to prevent freezer burn and maintain freshness.
  • Microwave reheating times may vary depending on your appliance; adjust as necessary to avoid overheating.
  • Choose any cheese slice you like, though cheddar melts well and adds great flavor.
