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 eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack the 8 large eggs, checking carefully for any shell fragments.
- Add milk: Pour in 1 cup of milk to make the eggs fluffy and creamy.
- Whisk mixture: Whisk eggs and milk together until the mixture is smooth and uniformly yellow with no streaks of egg whites.
- Mix in ingredients: Stir in 1 cup shredded cheese, 1 cup diced bell peppers, and if desired, 1 cup diced cooked ham or sausage.
- Season: Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; adjust to taste.
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
- Grease baking dish: Lightly butter or spray a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Pour egg mixture: Evenly spread the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes until eggs are fully set and the top is lightly golden.
- Cool: Remove the dish from the oven and cool for about 10 minutes.
- Prepare muffins: While cooling, toast English muffins lightly if preferred for extra crunch.
- Cut egg squares: After cooling, cut the baked egg mixture into 8 equal squares.
- Assemble sandwiches: Place one egg square on each muffin half; add a slice of cooked bacon if using.
- Complete sandwich: Top with the other muffin half to form each sandwich.
- Wrap sandwiches: Individually wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
- Store: Place wrapped sandwiches in a labeled freezer-safe bag or container; freeze up to 2 months.
- Reheat from frozen: When ready to eat, unwrap and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes covered with a damp paper towel, or reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-15 minutes, or use a toaster oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes for crispier texture.
Notes
- For meat-free option, omit ham/sausage and bacon to keep it vegetarian.
- Customize veggies by adding onions or spinach for variety.
- Use gluten-free English muffins to make it gluten-free.
- Ensure sandwiches are cooled completely before freezing for best texture.
- Reheat thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
