These are really close to the really thing and can be batch made and cooked from frozen.
Muffins generally come in packs of 4 or 6 so it's great to be able to freeze them for a quick and easy breakfast when heading out to work (or when you have a hangover).
Ingredients (to make 6)
10 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
Sausage patties or sausage meat shaped into patties
6 slices bacon (optional)
6 slices cheese, like cheddar or Swiss BUT cheap cheese slices are most authentic
6 English muffins
Instructions
Make the eggs: Whisk the eggs together with the milk and salt in a large mixing bowl. Film baking tray with cooking spray and pour the eggs into it. Bake until the eggs are puffed around the edges with golden spots, and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Be free and easy with your egg types - I've also made unscambled eggs in a frying pan and cut rounds from that. I'm currently experimenting with egg rings and creating a bain-marie style poached egg. Will report back.
Make the bacon or sausage as normal
Slice the cheese (or unwrap the slice!)
Toast the English muffins
Cut out the egg rounds. I use a scone cutter to cut them out. Use a spatula to lift the eggs out of the tray.
Assemble the sandwiches
You can freeze the extra!
Wrap each sandwich in a square of kitchen roll. Use a permanent marker to write the contents and date on the sandwich. Put all the sandwiches in a freezer bag or container. You can be extra fancy and instead of putting them in a bag wrap each one in freezer paper and write on that.
Freeze for up to 1 month.
Reheating instructions
Unwrap the frozen sandwich and place on a microwave-safe plate lined with a paper towel (the towel helps absorb some of the melting ice so the bread doesn't get soggy).
Heat at full power for 1 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the egg is warmed through. It's a wide cooking range because it depends what you put in it.. Sausage needs longer that bacon.
Tip!: I tried hash browns in them and they don't work at all. They take too long to defrost and ruin the sandwich.
