Cook the Eggs: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a muffin tin and crack one egg into each of 6 cups. Bake 12–15 minutes until set. Or, cook eggs in a round mold on a stovetop skillet.
Prepare the Meat:
- Sausage: Cook patties according to package instructions (typically stovetop or microwave).
- Bacon: Heat fully cooked slices in the microwave or skillet until warm and slightly crisp.
Toast the Muffins (Optional): Lightly toast English muffins for added texture.
Assemble: On each muffin, layer egg, meat, and cheese slice. Top with the muffin lid.
Freeze or Serve: Wrap sandwiches in foil or parchment, then store in freezer-safe bags. To reheat: microwave from frozen for 60–90 seconds (or thaw first for best texture and reheat in toaster oven).
Optional: For added flavor, spread mayo and top with cracked black pepper on the inside of each toasted muffin.
