Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 English muffins split
  • 12 slices deli-sliced ham or Canadian bacon
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil a cupcake pan, or coat it with nonstick spray.
  • Add one egg to 6 different 'cups', beating slightly. Season the eggs with salt and pepper. Place the pan into the oven and bake until the eggs are cooked through, about 12-14 minutes.
  • Place 2 slices ham and 1 slice cheese on the muffin bottom, top with one baked egg, and then cover with another muffin top to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining English muffins to make 6 sandwiches. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in the freezer.
  • To reheat, remove plastic wrap from the frozen sandwich and wrap in a paper towel. Place into microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through completely.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • If you use ramekins to bake the eggs in, the eggs will be a bit thinner than the eggs baked in cupcake or muffin tins will be. Adjust the cook time accordingly.
  • Meat is optional and easy to change out for your favorite breakfast meat instead. These are also great made with cooked sausage patties or even crispy strips of bacon.
  • I like to put the frozen individually wrapped sandwiches in a large freezer bag with the date I made them written on it when I store them. This way I know how long they are good for.
  • For those of you who either don't have, or prefer not to use, a microwave, no worries. These re-heat just fine in a toaster oven.
