Step 1

Step 1 Preheat the oven to 400 F / 200 C. Prepare a baking dish (9x9 works best) with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

Step 2 In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Stir in the spinach, bell pepper and bacon, if using. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until the egg bake is firm to the touch. It should look "well done" on top when it's finished and the middle should be completely set (you can test this by shaking the pan gently, watch for movement in the center. if it jiggles, put it back in the oven).

Step 3

Step 3 When the eggs are finished, use a cup to cut out circular egg patties. You will have leftover pieces, you can use these to make additional egg sandwiches or enjoy them as a snack.

Step 4

Step 4 Assemble the sandwiches. Arrange the English muffins face up and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on the "bottom" halves of the muffins. Place an egg patty on top of the cheese. Sprinkle more cheese on top, then add the "top" of the English muffin. Allow the sandwiches cool to room temp. Then wrap tightly with saran wrap and place in the fridge or freezer.

Step 5

Note: The veggies involved are really up to you. I kept it simple with peppers, spinach & bacon (what I had on hand). But you can pretty much use any vegetable you want, except tomatoes. Tomatoes don't freeze and reheat well in meals like this (soggy city!). Same goes for the cheese. Use any kind you like, but stay away from shredded cheese because the freezing and reheating process might get messy. I used store-bought English muffins for these breakfast sandwiches. You can use mini bagels or any type of muffin you want. I'd stay away from regular bread, though, as that might actually get a bit soggy.

Step 6

Ways to reheat this meal:

Step 7

If you take it out directly from the freezer the morning you want to eat it, stick it in the microwave on the "defrost vegetable" setting if you have one, turning halfway. I wouldn't use a paper towel because the cheese might stick to it a little.

Step 8

You can also take it out of the freezer before you go to bed and put it in the fridge to defrost overnight. Then you can pop it in the microwave on a normal setting for 90 seconds, turning halfway. Or you can pop it in the toaster oven and reheat it for a few minutes.
