Description
A quick and easy sheet pan egg breakfast sandwich recipe that makes perfectly cooked egg squares topped with melted cheese, served on toasted English muffins with bacon, Canadian bacon, or ham.
Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 12 large eggs
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 6 oz cheese, grated
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Sandwich Components
- 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 sticking.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the 12 large eggs and 1/3 cup whole milk until smooth. Season the mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Bake Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared sheet pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes. The eggs should be set but still slightly moist; avoid overcooking.
- Add Cheese: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and evenly sprinkle the grated 6 oz cheese over the eggs. Return to the oven for about 3 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Finish and Slice: Lightly sprinkle a touch more salt over the eggs, let them cool for a few minutes, then slice into 12 even squares.
- Freeze or Serve: For meal prep, wrap each egg square tightly in plastic wrap and freeze. To reheat, remove the plastic and microwave for 1 minute. To serve, place an egg square on a toasted English muffin with your choice of bacon, Canadian bacon, or ham.
Notes
- Use any cheese you prefer such as cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack for different flavors.
- Substitute whole milk with a lower fat milk or milk alternative if desired.
- You can swap bacon with turkey bacon or sausage for variation.
- Make sure not to overbake the eggs; slightly undercooked eggs ensure they stay tender after melting cheese.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free English muffins.
