Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 12 eggs
- ¼ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Meats
- 1 package of bacon
- 6 sausage patties
Other Ingredients
- 12 slices of cheddar cheese
- 12 English muffins
- Butter, for spreading
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for baking the bacon and eggs.
- Cook Bacon: Place the bacon on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until crispy. Remove and transfer with tongs onto paper towels to absorb excess grease. Set aside.
- Cook Sausage Patties: While the bacon bakes, heat a skillet over medium-high heat on the stove. Cook the sausage patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare Sheet Pan Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the 12 eggs, ¼ cup milk, salt, and pepper using a mixer until combined. Pull out the oven rack and place an empty baking sheet on it; pour the egg mixture onto the sheet pan to prevent spilling. Slide the rack back in and bake for about 30 minutes until the edges start to turn golden and the center is set.
- Slice Eggs: Allow the baked eggs to cool slightly, then cut into 12 individual servings. For uniform shapes, use the rim of a glass as a cookie cutter to make squares or circles.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Split the English muffins in half and lightly butter each side of the bottom halves. Place an egg portion on each bottom half, then top six muffins with a sausage patty and the other six with bacon pieces. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on each meat-topped muffin half, then place the muffin tops on.
- Freeze Sandwiches: Wrap each sandwich tightly in parchment paper or plastic wrap and label with the type (bacon or sausage). Place all wrapped sandwiches in a large freezer bag, remove excess air, and seal. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Reheat from Frozen (Oven): Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Remove the wrapping and place sandwiches on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until heated thoroughly and cheese is melted.
- Reheat When Thawed (Oven): Thaw sandwiches overnight in the refrigerator still wrapped. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C), remove wrapping, place on a baking sheet, and bake for 5-8 minutes until heated through and cheese melts.
- Reheat When Thawed (Microwave): After thawing overnight, remove wrapping and rewrap sandwiches in a paper towel. Microwave on defrost for 40 seconds, flip the sandwich, then microwave on high for about 20 seconds or until hot and cheese melts.
Notes
- For best texture, baking the eggs on a sheet pan creates uniform, fluffy eggs perfect for sandwiches.
- Labeling the sandwiches before freezing helps easily identify the bacon or sausage variety.
- These sandwiches freeze well for up to 3 months, making them excellent meal prep options.
- Ensure sausage patties are fully cooked before assembling for food safety.
- Butter the English muffin bottoms to add richness and prevent sogginess.
