Ingredients

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

  1. Prepare Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack the 8 large eggs, ensuring no shell fragments remain.
  2. Add Milk: Pour in 1 cup of milk to make the eggs fluffy and creamy.
  3. Whisk Mixture: Whisk eggs and milk together until smooth and uniform in color.
  4. Mix Ingredients: Stir in 1 cup shredded cheese, 1 cup diced bell peppers, and optional diced cooked ham or sausage.
  5. Season: Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, adjusting to taste.
  6. Preheat Oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Grease Baking Dish: Butter or spray a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  8. Pour Egg Mixture: Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared dish.
  9. Bake Eggs: Bake for 25-30 minutes until eggs are set and lightly golden on top.
  10. Cool: Remove from oven and cool for about 10 minutes.
  11. Prepare Muffins: Toast English muffins lightly if a crispier texture is preferred.
  12. Cut Egg Squares: Slice the baked egg mixture into 8 equal squares.
  13. Assemble Sandwiches: Place an egg square on one muffin half, add bacon if using, then top with the other muffin half.
  14. Wrap Sandwiches: Individually wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
  15. Freeze: Place wrapped sandwiches in a labeled freezer-safe bag or container and freeze up to 2 months.
  16. Reheat (Microwave): Unwrap sandwich, place on microwave-safe plate, cover with damp paper towel, and microwave on high 1-2 minutes until heated through.
  17. Reheat (Oven): Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), place sandwich on baking sheet, and warm for 10-15 minutes.
  18. Reheat (Toaster Oven): Heat at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes for extra crispiness.

Notes

  • Optional ingredients such as ham, sausage, or bacon can be omitted for a vegetarian version.
  • English muffins can be substituted with bagels or toast if preferred.
  • Freezing sandwiches individually ensures easy grab-and-go convenience.
  • Adjust seasoning based on personal preference.
  • Ensure sandwiches are fully cooled before freezing to maintain texture.
