Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 12 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Sandwich Components
- 12 slices cooked bacon, sausage patties, ham, or Canadian bacon
- 12 English muffins
- 12 slices cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Generously grease a 9×13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the 12 eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Using an electric mixer can make this process easier and more thorough.
- Bake the eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the greased pan and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the center is just set. Avoid overcooking to keep the eggs tender.
- Cool and cut the eggs: Remove the baked eggs from the oven and let them cool completely. Once cooled, cut the egg slab into 12 equal squares to fit your English muffins.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Slice the English muffins in half and top each bottom half with a square of baked egg, a slice of cheddar cheese, and a slice of cooked meat (bacon, sausage, ham, or Canadian bacon). Place the other muffin half on top.
- Heat immediately (optional): If you plan to eat the sandwiches right away, place them on a baking sheet and heat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.
- Freeze for later: Wrap each sandwich individually in tinfoil, wax paper, or parchment paper, then place them in a freezer-safe resealable bag. Freeze for up to 1 month.
- Reheat from frozen: Thaw sandwiches overnight in the refrigerator for best results. Remove wrapping and re-wrap in a paper towel. Microwave on defrost (50% power) for 40 seconds to 1 minute, then flip and microwave on high for 10-30 seconds until warmed through.
- Alternate reheating method: You can also reheat the sandwiches in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-15 minutes or in a toaster oven until heated thoroughly.
Notes
- You can customize the meat and cheese based on your preference.
- Do not overbake the eggs to maintain a tender texture.
- For convenient reheating, thaw the sandwiches overnight when possible.
- Wrap sandwiches tightly before freezing to prevent freezer burn.
- These sandwiches can be doubled or halved easily depending on your needs.
