Instructions
- Prepare eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack the 8 large eggs carefully, ensuring no shell fragments remain.

- Preheat oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease dish: Lightly butter or spray a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Pour mixture: Evenly spread the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake eggs: Bake for 25-30 minutes until eggs are set and top is lightly golden.
- Cool eggs: Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Toast muffins: Lightly toast English muffins if preferred for a crunchier texture.
- Cut eggs: Cut the cooled baked egg mixture into 8 equal squares.
- Assemble sandwiches: Place an egg square on one English muffin half; add bacon if using, then top with the other muffin half.

- Freeze: Place wrapped sandwiches into a freezer-safe bag or container, label with date, and freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat from frozen: Remove sandwich from freezer and unwrap before reheating.
- Microwave reheating: Place sandwich on a microwave-safe plate, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
- Oven reheating: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), place sandwich on a baking sheet, and heat for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
- Toaster oven reheating: Place sandwich in toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes for a crispier finish.
Notes
- You can omit the ham, sausage, or bacon to make these sandwiches vegetarian.
- Use any cheese you prefer; cheddar adds sharpness while mozzarella offers mild creaminess.
- Customize with different veggies like spinach or mushrooms for variety.
- Fully cool the baked egg mixture before cutting and assembling to keep shapes intact.
- Wrap sandwiches tightly to avoid freezer burn.
- Label freezer bags with the date to ensure freshness within 2 months.
- Reheat thoroughly before eating, especially if using meat.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with plant-based milk and use dairy-free cheese.
