- Preheat & Prep:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
Whisk Eggs:
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Bake Eggs:
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
Once done, let them cool slightly and cut into 6 square pieces.
Assemble Sandwiches:
Split English muffins and toast lightly. Layer each muffin with one egg square, a slice of cheese, and thin chicken breast or sausage.
Wrap & Store:
Wrap each sandwich tightly in parchment paper or foil. Place in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 2 months.

- Microwave: Unwrap, wrap in a paper towel, and heat for 1–2 minutes until hot.
- Oven: Reheat wrapped sandwiches at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes.
Variations
- Vegetarian: Use sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms instead of meat.
- Low-carb: Swap English muffins with low-carb bread or omit bread entirely.

- Healthier choice: Use egg whites, turkey bacon, or whole-grain muffins.
Storage Tips
