Ingredients
  

For the Egg Mixture
  • 8 large eggs room temperature
  • ¼ cup milk whole or 2%
  • ½ teaspoon salt to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
For the Sandwich Assembly
  • 4 English muffins split in half toasted if desired
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese or cheese of choice
  • 8 slices cooked bacon or sausage patties
  • 1 tablespoon butter for greasing the skillet

Method
 

Prepare the Egg Mixture
  1. In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture vigorously until fully combined and slightly frothy. This aeration helps the eggs to be fluffy when cooked.
Cook the Eggs
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted and bubbling, pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges towards the center. Continue cooking until the eggs are just set but still slightly runny, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Assemble the Sandwiches
  1. On the bottom half of each English muffin, place a slice of cheddar cheese, followed by a generous portion of the scrambled eggs, two slices of bacon, and then top with the other half of the muffin.
Wrap and Store
  1. Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. Place the wrapped sandwiches on a baking sheet and freeze for up to 3 months. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 4 days if consuming within that timeframe.
Reheat and Serve
  1. To reheat, remove the plastic wrap and place the sandwich on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. For a crispier sandwich, you can also toast it in a skillet for a few minutes.
