Directions to Follow

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and generously grease a 9×13-inch pan to prevent sticking.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
4. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the center is just set.
5. Allow the baked eggs to cool for a few minutes before cutting them into 12 equal squares.
6. Assemble each English muffin by placing a square of egg, a slice of cheese, and your choice of meat between the halves.
7. If serving immediately, heat the sandwiches in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.
8. To freeze, wrap each sandwich tightly in foil or plastic wrap.
9. For reheating, unwrap and bake in the oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes or microwave for 1-2 minutes.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

Serving Suggestions

These sandwiches are best enjoyed hot, with additional toppings like salsa, avocado, or even a drizzle of hot sauce for those who enjoy a bit of spice. Pair them with a side of fresh fruit or yogurt for a well-rounded meal. A hot cup of coffee or a smoothie complements the sandwich perfectly, offering a refreshing start to your day.

How to Store

Keeping Leftovers Fresh

To keep these breakfast sandwiches fresh, store them wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap in the freezer. They’ll last up to three months! For efficient reheating, simply unwrap and either bake in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes or pop them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Just be sure to check that they’re heated thoroughly before eating.
