Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
- 1 cup diced cooked ham or cooked sausage (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Assembly
- 8 English muffins, split in half
- 8 slices of cooked bacon (optional)
- Butter or cooking spray for greasing
Instructions
- Prepare the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs, ensuring no shell fragments remain. Add milk for a creamy texture and whisk until fully combined into a uniform yellow mixture.
- Add Ingredients: Stir in shredded cheese, diced bell peppers, and cooked ham or sausage if using. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the egg mixture.
- Grease Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Bake the Egg Mixture: Pour the seasoned egg mixture evenly into the prepared dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until eggs are set and the top turns lightly golden.
- Cool the Eggs: Remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes to firm up before slicing.
- Prepare Muffins: While eggs cool, toast the English muffins lightly if desired for extra crunch.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Cut the baked egg mixture into 8 equal squares. Place one square on the bottom half of each English muffin, add a slice of bacon if desired, then cover with the top half of the muffin.
- Wrap and Freeze: Individually wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place all in a large freezer-safe bag or container. Label with the date, and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Reheating Options: To enjoy, unwrap a frozen sandwich and reheat using your preferred method: Microwave covered with a damp paper towel on high for 1-2 minutes until heated through; or reheat in an oven or toaster oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes for a crispy texture.
Notes
- You can customize the protein by using cooked ham, sausage, bacon, or make it vegetarian by skipping the meat.
- For extra flavor, add herbs or hot sauce into the egg mixture before baking.
- Ensure sandwiches are completely cooled before wrapping to avoid condensation and freezer burn.
- Label your freezer bags with the date to keep track of freshness.
- Toast the English muffins before assembling for improved texture after reheating.
- Reheat thoroughly to ensure the egg mixture is warmed through and safe to eat.
