Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 12 large eggs
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Toppings and Assembly
- 6 oz cheese, grated
- English muffins
- Bacon, Canadian bacon, or ham
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a half sheet pan (13x18 inches) with butter or nonstick spray to prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Mix Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the 12 large eggs and 1/3 cup of whole milk until the mixture is smooth. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Pour and Bake Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared sheet pan, spreading evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes until the eggs are set but still slightly moist; avoid overcooking.
- Add Cheese: Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the grated 6 oz cheese evenly over the eggs. Return the pan to the oven for approximately 3 minutes until the cheese melts completely.
- Season and Cool: Lightly sprinkle additional salt over the top and let the eggs cool for a few minutes to firm up before slicing.
- Slice Eggs: Cut the baked eggs into 12 even squares for portioning.
- Freeze (Optional): If you want to store for later, wrap each egg square in plastic wrap and freeze. To reheat, remove the plastic wrap and microwave for 1 minute.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Toast English muffins and add a square of the egg mixture along with a slice of bacon, Canadian bacon, or ham. Serve immediately and enjoy your breakfast sandwich.
Notes
- You can substitute whole milk with any milk of your choice, including dairy-free options.
- Use your favorite cheese such as cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
- Ensure eggs are not overbaked to keep the texture moist and tender.
- These egg squares can be prepared ahead and frozen for quick breakfast options during busy mornings.
- Switch up the protein by using sausage patties or turkey bacon instead of traditional bacon or ham.
- For a low-carb option, serve the egg squares with avocado instead of English muffins.
