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
Sandwich Assembly
- 8 English muffins, split in half
- 8 slices cooked bacon (optional)
- Butter or cooking spray for greasing
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: Crack 8 large eggs into a large mixing bowl, ensuring no shell fragments remain. Add 1 cup of milk to the eggs. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and uniformly yellow.
- Add Ingredients: Stir in 1 cup shredded cheese, 1 cup diced bell peppers, and if using, 1 cup diced cooked ham or cooked sausage. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, adjusting to taste.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Bake Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes until eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
- Cool and Slice: Remove the dish from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. Once cooled, cut the baked egg into 8 equal squares.
- Prepare English Muffins: Lightly toast English muffin halves if you prefer a crunchier texture.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Place a square of the baked egg on one half of each English muffin. Add a slice of cooked bacon if using, then top with the other muffin half to complete the sandwich.
- Wrap and Freeze: Individually wrap each sandwich with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place all wrapped sandwiches in a freezer-safe bag or container, label with the date, and freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat Microwave: When ready to eat, unwrap a sandwich and place on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with a damp paper towel and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.
- Reheat Oven or Toaster Oven: For a crispier sandwich, preheat oven or toaster oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the sandwich on a baking sheet and heat for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
Notes
- Optional ingredients like cooked ham, sausage, and bacon can be omitted for a vegetarian version (leave out bacon and meat for that).
- English muffins can be substituted with bagels or waffles if preferred.
- Make sure the egg mixture is fully cooled before cutting and assembling to prevent sandwiches from becoming soggy.
- Wrap sandwiches tightly to avoid freezer burn for best quality when freezing.
- Reheating times may vary depending on appliance wattage; adjust time accordingly.
