6slicescheddar cheese(can substitute American cheese or another type of cheese)
6English muffins, sliced horizontally
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Liberally spray a 9 x 13 inch sheet pan (or similar-sized baking pan) with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and salt and pepper together. Pour egg mixture into the prepared pan.
12 large eggs, ¼ cup milk, salt and pepper to taste
Carefully transfer the pan to the preheated oven. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or just until the eggs are set in the middle.
While the eggs are baking, prepare your choice of meat and toast the English muffins. If using bacon, cut each piece of bacon in half.
6 strips cooked bacon
When the eggs are done baking, cut into 12 equally-sized squares.
Place the bottom halves of the English muffins on a baking sheet. Add 1 egg square and 1 slice of cheese to each English muffin. If desired, broil the sandwich for a minute to melt the cheese, watching closely to make sure it doesn’t burn.

Remove the pan from the oven if you broiled the sandwiches. Add a second egg square and your choice of meat. Top each sandwich with the top halves of the English muffins.
To make a single sandwich:
In a small bowl, whisk 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon milk together. Pour egg mixture into a small skillet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Cook the scrambled eggs, stirring until firm and fully cooked. Fold the eggs in half and then in half again, making a triangle.

Place bottom half of the English muffin on a baking sheet. Add the scrambled eggs and 1 slice of cheese. If desired, broil the sandwich for a minute to melt the cheese.
Remove from the oven and top with your choice of meat and the top half of the English muffin.
Notes
Storage/freezing: To refrigerate, store the sandwich components separately in airtight containers, for up to 4 days. Refrigerating assembled sandwiches tends to make the English muffins soggy. To freeze, wrap each sandwich in parchment paper or foil and place in a resealable freezer bag for up to 1 month.
To reheat: To microwave, the sandwiches should be thawed in the refrigerator overnight. Remove freezer wrapping and wrap the sandwich in a paper towel. Microwave on defrost or 50% power for 1 minute. Flip sandwich over and microwave an additional minute on full power or until the sandwich is fully heated through. To heat in the oven, thawing isn't necessary. Remove the sandwiches from the freezer bag or container. If the sandwiches were wrapped in parchment or foil, you don’t have to remove that. Place on a baking sheet and heat at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes, or until warm and toasty.
Variations: You can use any type of meat you like, or no meat at all. Choose your favorite cheese and English muffins, bagels, or biscuits. Add vegetables or baby spinach. See the post for more suggestions.
