Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of bread
- 4 slices of cheese
- 4 slices of cooked bacon or sausage
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy. This will help create a light and fluffy egg texture.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly onto the prepared sheet pan, ensuring it spreads out to create a thin, uniform layer across the entire pan.
- Bake the eggs in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and no longer liquid. The edges should be slightly golden and the center should look firm but not overcooked.
- While the eggs are baking, lightly toast the bread slices until they reach a golden brown color.
- Once the eggs are done, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the baked egg sheet into 4 equal rectangular portions that will fit perfectly on the toasted bread.
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing a slice of cheese on the toast, then adding a slice of cooked bacon or sausage, and topping with the sheet pan egg portion.
- If desired, return the assembled sandwiches to the warm oven for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese slightly.
- Serve immediately while warm, and optionally add additional salt and pepper to taste.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time on busy mornings, you can whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Just pour it onto the sheet pan and bake in the morning!
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to mix and match your favorite breakfast meats or add veggies like spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes to the egg mixture for an extra nutritional boost.
- Use Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh, high-quality eggs and bread for the best flavor and texture. Artisan bread can add a gourmet touch to your sandwiches.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on the eggs as they bake. Every oven is different, so check for doneness around the 12-minute mark to prevent overcooking.
- Make It Cheesy: If you love cheese, don’t hesitate to add an extra slice or try different varieties like cheddar, pepper jack, or gouda for a flavor twist.
- Serve with Sides: Pair your breakfast sandwiches with fresh fruit or a side of hash browns for a complete breakfast experience that will keep you satisfied all morning long.
