Kitchen Equipment

To make these breakfast sandwiches, you will need:

• Large mixing bowl
• Whisk
• 9×13-inch baking dish
• Baking sheet
• Sharp knife
• Cooling rack
• Parchment paper
• Aluminum foil
• Freezer-safe zip-top bags

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture

Crack all twelve eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and fully combined.

The milk helps produce soft, fluffy baked eggs that stay tender even after freezing and reheating.

Step 3: Bake the Eggs

Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set in the center. Avoid overbaking, as the eggs will continue cooking slightly while cooling.

Remove from the oven and allow the eggs to cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into 12 equal squares.

Step 4: Cook the Bacon

While the eggs bake, cook the bacon until crispy using a skillet, oven, or air fryer.

Transfer the bacon to paper towels to remove excess grease.

Step 5: Toast the English Muffins

Split each English muffin in half and lightly toast until golden brown.

Toasting prevents the muffins from becoming soggy after freezing and helps maintain the perfect texture when reheated.

Step 6: Assemble the Sandwiches

Place the bottom half of an English muffin on a clean surface.

Layer with:

• One baked egg square
• One slice of cheddar cheese
• One slice of crispy bacon
• Top half of the English muffin

Repeat until all twelve sandwiches have been assembled.
