Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream (whole milk preferred)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 English muffins, split (whole wheat or regular)
- 6 slices sharp cheddar or American cheese
- Butter or cooking spray (for greasing and toasting)
- Optional add-ins: cooked bacon, sausage patties, spinach, sliced tomato
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease six cups of a muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.
- Whisk together the eggs and milk in a medium bowl until fully combined, about 30 seconds. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the eggs are just set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- While the eggs bake, split and toast your English muffins. Butter them lightly if desired.
- Once the eggs are done, carefully remove them from the muffin tin using a small spatula or butter knife. Let them cool slightly.
- Assemble your sandwiches by placing one egg patty on the bottom half of each muffin, topping with a slice of cheese and any optional add-ins, then crown with the muffin top.
- Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or foil, then place in freezer-safe bags or containers. Label with the date.
- To reheat, unwrap and microwave for 50-60 seconds or toast in an oven or toaster oven until the cheese melts and the sandwich is heated through.
Notes
Grease the muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking. Do not overbake the eggs to keep them moist and fluffy. Wrap sandwiches in a damp paper towel before microwaving to prevent drying out. For a crispy muffin, toast after microwaving. Cook any meat add-ins fully before assembly.
