– Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
– Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
– Let the baking dish cool for about 10 minutes before cutting.
**3. Assembling the Breakfast Sandwiches:**
– Prepare your English muffins by toasting them lightly if desired.
– Cut the cooled egg mixture into 8 equal squares.
– Place a square of the egg mixture on one half of an English muffin. If using bacon, add a slice on top of the egg.
– Top with the other half of the English muffin. Repeat for all sandwiches.
**4. Freezing the Breakfast Sandwiches:**
– Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
– Place the wrapped sandwiches in a large freezer-safe bag or container, labeling with the date.
– Store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
**5. Reheating the Breakfast Sandwiches:**
– To microwave: Unwrap the sandwich, place it on a microwave-safe plate, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
– To reheat in the oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C), place the sandwich on a baking sheet, and heat for 10-15 minutes.
– For a crispy option, use a toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.

#### **Notes:**
– Customize fillings based on your preferences; consider adding spinach, mushrooms, or other vegetables.

Ingredients
- 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
- 8 English muffins, split in half
- 8 slices of cooked bacon (optional)
- Butter or cooking spray for greasing
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 8 large eggs. Make sure to check for any shell fragments as you go.
- Add 1 cup of milk to the eggs. This will make the eggs fluffy and creamy.
- Whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined. You want to see a uniform yellow color with no streaks of egg whites.
- Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese, 1 cup of diced bell peppers, and if you’re using it, 1 cup of diced cooked ham or sausage.
- Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your taste if you prefer more or less.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
- Once cooked, remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
- While the egg mixture is cooling, prepare your English muffins. You can toast them lightly if you prefer a crunchier texture.
- Once the egg mixture has cooled, cut it into 8 equal squares.
- Take one half of an English muffin and place a square of the egg mixture on top. If you’re using bacon, add a slice on top of the egg.
- Top with the other half of the English muffin to complete the sandwich. Repeat this process for all 8 sandwiches.
- Wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
- Place the wrapped sandwiches in a large freezer-safe bag or container. Make sure to label the bag with the date.
- Store the sandwiches in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- When you’re ready to enjoy a sandwich, remove it from the freezer and unwrap it.
- If you prefer a microwave, place the sandwich on a microwave-safe plate and cover it with a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for about 1-2 minutes, or until heated through.
- If you prefer a crispy sandwich, you can reheat it in the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the sandwich on a baking sheet. Heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
- For an even crispier option, you can use a toaster oven. Just place the sandwich in the toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the fillings based on your preferences. You can add spinach, mushrooms, or any other vegetables you like.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the meats and add more veggies or use plant-based sausage.
