Sandwich Assembly
- 8 English muffins, split in half

Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack 8 large eggs and ensure no shell fragments remain.
- Add milk: Pour 1 cup milk into the eggs to create a fluffy, creamy texture.
- Whisk together: Whisk eggs and milk until the mixture is uniform with no streaks.

- Season: Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, adjusting to taste.
- Preheat oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease baking dish: Lightly butter or spray a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Pour egg mixture: Spread the egg mixture evenly in the prepared dish.
- Bake eggs: Bake for 25-30 minutes until eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
- Cool eggs: Remove from the oven and cool for about 10 minutes.
- Prepare muffins: Toast English muffins lightly if desired for extra crunch.
- Cut egg slab: Slice the baked egg mixture into 8 equal squares.
- Assemble sandwiches: Place a square of egg on one half of an English muffin. Add a slice of cooked bacon if desired.
- Complete sandwiches: Top with the remaining muffin halves.
- Wrap sandwiches: Individually wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
- Freeze: Put wrapped sandwiches in a freezer-safe bag or container and label with the date. Freeze up to 2 months.
- Microwave reheat: When ready, unwrap sandwich and heat on a microwave-safe plate covered with a damp paper towel for 1-2 minutes on high.
- Oven reheat: For a crispy finish, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and heat sandwich on a baking sheet for 10-15 minutes.
- Toaster oven reheat: Alternatively, heat sandwich in a toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes for extra crispiness.
