Instructions
Preparing
Preheat oven to 160°C / 320°F and line a large baking tray with baking paper or aluminium. You want it to be tight without any gaps to prevent the egg mixture from spilling.
If using ¼ cup frozen spinach, reheat in the microwave for 1 minute until it can be broken apart. Remove excess liquid.
Dice: 6 pieces short cut bacon, ½ red onion, 1 tomato, 2 tbsp chives
Grate: ½ zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture
Whisk 12 eggs, 1 cup water, Salt and pepper and 1 tsp chilli flakes in a large bowl.
Stir through bacon, zucchini, onion, spinach, tomato, ¼ cup grated cheese and chives.
Pour mixture into the lined tray and spread evenly.
Cooking
Bake for 25–30 minutes until just set in the centre.
Cool completely (I recommend at least 30 minutes), then slice into portions sized to fit 8 English muffins with ¼ cup BBQ sauce.
Assemble sandwiches and wrap for storage.

Notes
Note 1 - Water If you're freezing the sandwiches, I recommend using water in the mixture as it helps with the overall texture once frozen and reheated by preventing it from going tough. Milk, by comparison, can tighten the egg protein causing tough eggs when frozen and reheated. If having these fresh, you can use milk or cream instead.Note 2 - Spinach I recommend frozen spinach because it's already wilted so a lot easier to combine with the mixture. If using fresh spinach, wilt on a pan with a little oil first and then add in.Note 3 - Flavouring This can be adjusted to preference. Some of my recommendations include: rosemary, oregano, Italian herbs, dill, salt and pepper.Storing Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Texture may decrease slightly.Reheating I recommend reheating in a sandwich press wrapped in parchment / baking paper as this will help provide the best texture. You could also reheat in the microwave, air fryer or the stove.Freezing Wrap tightly in parchment / baking paper then place in a freezer safe container or bag and freeze for 3-6 months.
