Tips & Tricks:

  • 🔪 The sandwiches can be made ahead up to step 4 and refrigerated for up to 4 days, or frozen for up to a month.
  • 🥶 Double, triple, quadruple this recipe and make a variety of sandwiches (using different cheeses or meats), wrap tight in tinfoil, label with ingredients and date, and freeze for up to 1 month.

Ingredients:

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 slices bacon, sausage patties, ham, or canadian bacon
  • 6 English muffins or 6-12 slices of your favorite bread (depending on how large the slice is, you can just cut 1 slice in half).
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese , or your favorite cheese

Directions:

  1. Oven and Pan Prep
    1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
    2. Grease an 8x8’’ (or similar size) high sided pan or oven safe dish with butter or oil spray. Use a larger pan/dish if you're making more sandwiches.
  2. Eggs
    1. Whisk the eggs, milk, salt and pepper.
    2. Pour the egg mixture into the greased pan and bake for 18-22 minutes, or just until the center is set. Meanwhile, cook the bacon.
    3. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before cutting into 6 squares. Raise the oven to 350 if you'll be enjoying a sandwich right away.
  3. Bacon
    1. Cook the bacon on a pan until crisp. Or cook the sausage patties or Canadian bacon. If you're using deli ham, you can skip this step.
  4. Build Sandwiches
    1. Top each English muffin half with egg, cheese, meat, and the other half of the muffin.
  5. Serve
    1. If you're enjoying a sandwich right away, heat the sandwich at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.
    2. Wrap any you're making ahead in tinfoil (especially if freezing), plastic wrap, or place into a tight fitting sandwich bag so the sandwich stays together. Store in the refrigerator.

Reheat Options

  1. If frozen, thaw in the fridge overnight. Remove tinfoil and wrap sandwich in a paper towel. Microwave for 40 seconds - 1 minute. Flip the sandwich over and microwave for 10-30 seconds, until warmed through.
  2. You can also reheat the sandwiches in the oven or toaster oven at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes.
