• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 0.5 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (generous amount, can use any meltable cheese)
• 6 pieces English Muffins (standard size, split in half)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted for brushing muffin tops)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

   Set the oven to 350°F and let it fully preheat.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 350°F

2. Make Egg Mixture

   In a large mixing bowl combine 8 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1 tablespoon sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk until smooth, then stir in 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella just to combine.

   Time: PT5M

3. Butter Casserole Dish

   Generously butter a 9x13-inch casserole dish so the egg bake releases easily.

   Time: PT1M

4. Bake Egg Base

   Pour the egg mixture into the buttered dish and bake in the center of the oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the top is set and a fingertip poke feels dry.

   Time: PT20M

   Temperature: 350°F

5. Prepare English Muffins

   While the eggs bake, cut 6 English muffins in half with a serrated knife, place them cut‑side up on a baking sheet, and brush the tops with melted butter.

   Time: PT7M

6. Cool Egg Base

   Remove the baked egg from the oven and let it cool on a rack for about 12 minutes.

   Time: PT12M

7. Broil Muffins

   Set the oven to high broil. Broil the English muffin halves for 2–4 minutes, until the tops are golden and lightly crisp.

   Time: PT4M

   Temperature: high broil

8. Cut Egg Portions

   Using a round pastry cutter (or a knife), cut the cooled egg bake into six even circles or squares.

   Time: PT5M

9. Assemble Sandwiches

   On each bottom muffin half place one egg circle, a slice of cheese, and two slices of ham (or turkey). Top with the toasted muffin half.

   Time: PT5M

10. Wrap for Freezing

    Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap, then place all wrapped sandwiches into a freezer‑safe bag. Label and freeze for 1–2 months.

    Time: PT5M

11. Reheat (Optional)

    To serve, thaw a sandwich in the refrigerator overnight or microwave from frozen on a plate lined with a paper towel for 60‑90 seconds.

    Time: PT2M
