| Ingredient | Quantity | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Large eggs | 12 | — |
| Whole milk | ⅓ | cup |
| Salt | ½ | tsp |
| Freshly ground black pepper | ¼ | tsp |
| Cheddar cheese, shredded | 1 | cup |
| Frozen fully-cooked sausage patties, thawed | 12 | — |
| English muffins, split and toasted | 12 | — |
Directions
1
Preheat and prep. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 10x15-inch rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
2
Mix the eggs. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, tilting to spread it evenly across the surface.
3
First bake. Slide into the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the eggs are mostly set but still have a slight jiggle in the center.
4
Add sausage and cheese. Arrange the sausage patties in a uniform 3x4 grid over the egg layer, spacing them so each will line up with a cut square. Scatter the shredded cheddar evenly over everything.
5
Second bake. Return the tray to the oven for a further 6 to 8 minutes, until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and golden at the edges.
6
Cut and assemble. Let the tray cool for a few minutes, then slice the egg into 12 even squares following the grid of the sausage patties. Place one egg-and-sausage square on the bottom half of each toasted English muffin, close with the top, and serve.
Cook's notes
Freeze and reheat
These sandwiches freeze beautifully. Wrap each one individually in foil or parchment and store for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in the microwave for 60 to 90 seconds, or unwrap and warm in a 350°F oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
Get the grid right
Placing the sausage patties in a precise 3x4 arrangement before baking is the key to cutting perfectly portioned squares. Use the patties as your guide when slicing — a sharp knife or bench scraper works best.
Customize freely
Stir diced peppers, green onions, or spinach into the egg mixture before baking for extra flavor and color. Swap cheddar for pepper jack or Swiss, or replace the sausage patties with crispy bacon for a different take.
