Ingredients
  

Egg Filling
  • 12 eggs
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 6 slices bacon
  • a few handfuls of spinach
Assembly
  • 12 English muffins
  • Cheese (optional)
  • Butter (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (149°C). Generously oil a rimmed half sheet pan.
  2. Whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt until combined.
  3. Cut the bacon into small pieces and cook in a heavy skillet until crisp. Add the spinach and stir until wilted. Drain off excess bacon fat briefly with tongs, then add the bacon and spinach to the egg mixture.
Baking
  1. Pour the egg mixture into the oiled 13″ x 18″ half sheet pan. Bake for 15 minutes, until the egg layer is just set.
  2. Remove the baked egg layer from the oven, cool, and cut into rounds using a wide mason jar lid or round cookie cutter.
Assembly
  1. Spread the English muffins with butter if using. Place one egg round on each muffin, add cheese if desired, and wrap the assembled sandwiches in foil.
Serving
  1. Refrigerate the sandwiches for 4-5 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat using the oven, microwave, toaster oven, or a combination of methods as needed.

Notes

Reheating From the Fridge: Use a toaster oven, regular oven, toaster, or microwave. Sandwiches can be heated wrapped in foil or opened before warming. A preferred method is to heat a foil-wrapped sandwich in a 425°F (218°C) oven for 8-10 minutes when the oven is already hot, or about 10-15 minutes if starting during preheating. After warming, unwrap and add Sriracha or avocado if desired. For a more toasted English muffin with crisp edges, open the sandwich with the egg on one half and cheese on the other, then broil for 3-5 minutes until heated and crisp. Reheating From Frozen: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and use the fridge reheating method, or heat directly from frozen for about 30 minutes. Cheese: A cheddar-gruyere blend works well. Egg Thickness: For a thicker egg layer, use a quarter sheet pan and bake for 20-30 minutes until fully cooked.
