Ingredients
For the Eggs:
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
For the Sandwiches:
- 8-12 English muffins, brioche buns, or croissants
- 8-12 slices cheese (American, cheddar, or Swiss)
- 8-12 slices cooked bacon or breakfast sausage patties
Optional Add-Ins:
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese, mixed into eggs
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions
- Diced bell peppers or onions (pre-sauteed)
- Hot sauce for serving
Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a half sheet pan (18×13 inches) with parchment paper, making sure the paper comes up the sides.
- Brush the parchment paper with melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the milk, salt, and pepper.
- Whisk vigorously until the eggs are completely uniform with no streaks of white remaining.
- If adding cheese or herbs to the eggs, fold them in now.
- Pour the egg mixture onto the prepared sheet pan.
- Tilt the pan gently to spread the eggs evenly to all corners.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the eggs are set and no longer jiggly in the center.
- The eggs should be slightly puffed and just cooked through — do not overbake or they will become rubbery.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes.
- Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the eggs into squares or rectangles that match your bread size.
- For English muffins, cut into 12 squares.
- For larger buns, cut into 8 rectangles.
- Toast your bread of choice while the eggs cool.
- Assemble sandwiches with an egg portion, cheese slice, and cooked meat.
- If you want melted cheese, place the cheese on the hot egg immediately after cutting.
Helpful Tips and Substitutions
Whole milk creates the creamiest eggs, but any milk works — even half-and-half for extra richness.
For fluffier eggs, add 1/4 teaspoon baking powder to the egg mixture.
Pre-cook any vegetables before adding to the eggs to prevent excess moisture.
A quarter sheet pan works for 6 eggs if cooking for a smaller group.
Use a silicone baking mat instead of parchment for even easier cleanup.
Dairy-free? Substitute oat milk or almond milk for the whole milk.
