Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 12 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Meat Options
- 12 slices cooked bacon, sausage patties, ham, or Canadian bacon
Other Ingredients
- 12 English muffins
- 12 slices cheddar cheese, or your favorite cheese
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and generously grease a 9×13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the 12 eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Using an electric mixer makes this process easier and helps achieve a smooth mixture.
- Bake Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the greased pan and bake for 18-22 minutes until the center is set but not overcooked. The eggs should be firm enough to cut into squares.
- Cool and Cut: Remove the baked eggs from the oven and allow them to cool completely before cutting into 12 equal squares.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Split the English muffins in halves and toast if desired. Top each bottom half with one square of baked egg, a slice of cheese, and one slice of your cooked meat choice. Place the muffin top half over the fillings to form a sandwich.
- Serve or Freeze: If eating immediately, place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and heat in a 350°F (177°C) oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sandwiches are warmed through.
- Wrap for Freezing: To freeze, wrap each sandwich tightly in tinfoil, wax paper, or parchment paper and place in a freezer-safe resealable bag. Store in the freezer for up to 1 month.
- Reheat from Frozen: For best results, thaw sandwiches overnight in the refrigerator. Remove wrapping and wrap the sandwich in a paper towel. Microwave on defrost or 50% power for 40 seconds to 1 minute, then flip and microwave on high for 10-30 seconds until heated through. Alternatively, reheat in a 350°F (177°C) oven or toaster oven for 10-15 minutes until warmed.
Notes
- You can customize the meat to your preference: bacon, sausage patties, ham, or Canadian bacon all work well.
- Cheese choice can be varied; cheddar is classic but Swiss, American, or pepper jack are delicious alternatives.
- Do not overbake the eggs; they should be set but still moist to avoid a rubbery texture.
- For quicker preparation, use pre-cooked meats or leftovers.
- Wrapping sandwiches tightly before freezing helps prevent freezer burn and preserves freshness.
- Microwave reheating times may vary depending on your appliance; adjust accordingly.
- English muffins can be toasted before assembly for added texture and flavor.
