Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk any kind (whole, skim, almond, or oat)
  • salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray for greasing
  • 6 English muffins (or your favorite bread buns/bagels)
  • 6 slices cheese your preferred (cheddar, provolone, American, or Swiss work wonderfully)
  • 6 breakfast sausage patties (or bacon slices, cooked crispy)
  • sriracha or hot sauce optional, for a spicy kick

Equipment

  • Medium Bowl
  • Muffin tin or individual ramekins
  • Skillet
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy. Lightly grease a muffin tin or individual ramekins with butter or cooking spray. Pour the egg mixture evenly into each cavity, filling each about two-thirds full.

  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the egg patties for 15-20 minutes, or until they are set and cooked through but still slightly tender in the center. The exact time will depend on the size of your muffin tin cavities. Once baked, carefully remove the egg patties from the tin and set aside.
  3. While the eggs are baking or cooling, split your English muffins in half. Lightly toast them until golden brown and crispy. This will prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy.

  4. If you are using sausage patties, cook them according to package directions in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. If using bacon, cook it until crispy. Drain any excess grease.

  5. Now for the best part – assembling your Easy Make-Ahead Breakfast Sandwich! Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each toasted English muffin. Top the cheese with a cooked sausage patty (or bacon). Then, place a baked egg patty on top of the sausage. Add another slice of cheese on top of the egg patty. Finally, place the other half of the English muffin on top to complete the sandwich.
