Tips and Techniques

A ring mold, or a round, metal cookie or biscuit cutter, can be used when cooking the eggs to help them keep their shape. This is optional.
You can adapt this recipe in an endless amount of ways. Bacon or sausage can be used in place of ham, any cheese variety you like can be swapped in, and instead of English muffins, any other type of bread can be used.
Leftover breakfast sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 2 days for best results.
