Scale
Egg Mixture
- 10 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- Nonstick cooking spray (for greasing the pan)
Meat
- 6 slices bacon, cut in half
- 3 sausage patties
Bread
- 6 English muffins
Dairy
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 6 slices American cheese (Velveeta slices recommended)
For Assembly and Freezing
- 6 paper towels
- Wax paper
- Freezer bags (for storage)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190°C) to get ready for baking the eggs.
- Bake the Eggs: Lightly coat a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Add eggs, milk, salt, and pepper to the pan and whisk until well combined. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are completely set and firm.
- Cook the Bacon and Sausage: While the eggs are baking, lay the bacon and sausage patties on a large baking pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. Once done, dab off excess grease and set the meats aside.
- Toast the English Muffins: Slice the English muffins in half and arrange them on another large baking sheet. Brush the tops evenly with melted butter, then bake for 5-8 minutes, or until they are crisp and slightly toasted.
- Portion the Eggs: Remove the baked eggs from the oven and cut into 6 equal squares.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Place a square of baked egg on the bottom half of each toasted muffin. Add two halves of bacon or one sausage patty on top, followed by one slice of American cheese, then close with the top muffin half.
- Wrap and Freeze: Dampen 6 paper towels with water and wring them out well. Wrap each sandwich in a damp paper towel, then in wax paper. Place them in labeled freezer bags for storage. Sandwiches can be frozen for up to a month.
- Reheat: When ready to eat, remove a sandwich from the wax paper but keep it loosely wrapped in the paper towel. Microwave in 40-second increments, flipping the sandwich halfway, until heated thoroughly.
Notes
- Customize your sandwiches with different cheeses, meats or even add veggies to the eggs if desired.
- Make sure the paper towel is just damp, not wet, to avoid soggy sandwiches during reheating.
- If storing for longer, tightly wrap sandwiches to prevent freezer burn.
- You can substitute English muffins with other breads like bagels or croissants as desired.
- Let the sandwiches cool to room temperature before freezing to avoid condensation.
