Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 12 large eggs
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Cheese
- 6 oz cheese, grated (such as cheddar or your preference)
Sandwich Components
- 12 English muffins, split and toasted
- Bacon, Canadian bacon, or ham (quantity as desired, typically 12 slices)
Other
- Butter or nonstick spray for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a half sheet pan (13x18 inches) with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the 12 large eggs and 1/3 cup whole milk until the mixture is smooth. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Bake Eggs: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared sheet pan. Bake in the oven for about 12 minutes until the eggs are set but still slightly moist; ensure not to overcook for the best texture.
- Add Cheese: Remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle the 6 oz of grated cheese evenly over the eggs, and return to the oven for approximately 3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Season and Cool: Lightly sprinkle with additional salt if desired and let the eggs cool for a few minutes to firm up before slicing.
- Slice Egg Squares: Once cooled, slice the baked eggs into 12 even squares to match the number of English muffins.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Toast the English muffins, then layer each with a square of baked egg, a slice of bacon, Canadian bacon, or ham, and any other preferred toppings. Serve warm.
- Freezing Option: If you wish to freeze the egg squares, wrap each square individually in plastic wrap and freeze. To reheat, unwrap and microwave each square for 1 minute.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon or ham and add sautéed vegetables or avocado slices instead.
- Use your preferred type of cheese for variety, such as mozzarella, pepper jack, or Swiss.
- To save time, cook bacon or ham ahead and store in the refrigerator until assembling sandwiches.
- These sandwiches can be customized with additional condiments like mustard, mayo, or hot sauce.
- Ensure not to overbake the eggs to maintain a tender, moist texture.
- English muffins can be substituted with bagels, croissants, or other bread of choice for variation.
