Ultimate Make-Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches

Ingredients

• 12 large Eggs (room temperature)
• 2 tablespoons Milk (any dairy or non‑dairy milk)
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt (kosher or table salt)
• 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 12 pieces English Muffins (split and lightly buttered)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (softened for spreading)
• 12 slices Ham (thinly sliced)
• 12 slices Cheddar Cheese (or any meltable cheese)
• 1 spray Cooking Spray (to grease baking dish)

Instructions

1. Prepare Egg Mixture

   Crack 12 eggs into a large mixing bowl, add 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and 2 tbsp milk. Whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.

   Time: PT5M

2. Bake Egg Base

   Grease the 9x13‑inch baking dish with cooking spray, pour the egg mixture in, and bake in a pre‑heated 350°F oven for about 15 minutes, or until just set (they will finish cooking off the heat).

   Time: PT15M

   Temperature: 350°F

3. Toast English Muffins

   While the eggs are baking, split the English muffins, butter each half, and place them cut‑side up on a cookie sheet. After removing the eggs, toast the muffins in the same 350°F oven for 4 minutes until lightly golden.

   Time: PT4M

   Temperature: 350°F

4. Crisp Ham

   Heat a frying pan over medium‑high heat, add a drizzle of oil if needed, and cook the ham slices for 2‑3 minutes until lightly browned and crisp.

   Time: PT3M

5. Assemble Sandwiches

   Cut the baked egg sheet into 12 equal squares. Place one egg square on the bottom half of each toasted muffin, top with a slice of ham, then a slice of cheese. Cover with the top muffin half.

   Time: PT5M

6. Melt Cheese (Optional Immediate Serve)

   Return the assembled sandwiches to the cookie sheet and bake at 350°F for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 350°F

7. Cool and Freeze

   Allow the sandwiches to cool completely, then wrap each individually in parchment paper and place all in a sheet of aluminum foil. Store in the freezer.

   Time: PT5M

8. Reheat Frozen Sandwiches

   When ready to eat, remove foil, keep parchment paper on, microwave on defrost for 1 minute, then on high for another minute (or until heated through).

   Time: PT2M
