How to Make Egg Sandwiches
Many people wonder, “How do you make an egg sandwich step by step?” So we’ll answer that question by walking through the process together, and don’t forget to watch the video. Begin by whisking together eggs, heavy cream, mustard, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a large bowl. Then, pour the egg mixture into a lightly greased baking dish and bake for 15 minutes, or until the eggs are just set. At the same time, spread the bacon out onto a baking sheet. Then bake it (while the eggs are baking) at 350 until crisp (about 12-15 minutes). Check out this post on how to cook bacon in the oven! Remove the baked eggs from the oven and cut them into 6 squares. Lay the cheese on one half an English muffin, then top it with bacon and then the egg. Cover with the other half of the English muffin and press it down gently. Then, put the assembled egg sandwiches on a baking sheet and put in the warm oven for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is slightly melted.
Serve
Serve the egg sandwiches warm. I love serving them with fruit salad or roasted potatoes!
