Servings: 9
Equipment
- baking tray
Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- 2 tbsp whole milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 9 Colby Jack slices
- 9 jalapeño cheddar rolls (or bread of choice)
- 9 tbsp pesto (1 tbsp per sandwich)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven and prep the dish: Set your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a large baking tray with nonstick spray or oil.
- Whisk the eggs and milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
- Bake the eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared tray. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden.
- Cut the eggs into squares: Once slightly cooled, slice the baked eggs into 9 even squares.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread 1 tablespoon of pesto on the inside of each roll. Top with a square of baked egg and a slice of Colby Jack cheese.
- Wrap and Freeze: Individually wrap each sandwich in parchment paper, then store them in a freezer-safe bag or container.
- Reheat: When you're ready to eat, microwave the sandwich still wrapped in parchment for 1- 1.5 minutes until warmed through, flipping halfway in between, or air fry at 350°F for 5–8 minutes (unwrapped) for a crispier finish.
Notes
Bread matters: A sturdy, flavorful bread like jalapeño cheddar rolls holds up better during freezing and reheating than super soft breads.
Cool before freezing: Always let your sandwiches cool completely before wrapping. This prevents ice crystals from forming and keeps the bread from getting soggy.
Pesto tips: If your pesto is very oily, give it a quick stir or drain off a little excess oil so your sandwiches don't get greasy after reheating.
Storage: Sandwiches can be frozen for up to 2 months for best flavor and texture.
Wrap smart: Wrap sandwiches in parchment paper before freezing. It protects the sandwich and makes reheating easier — just pop it in the microwave still wrapped to trap steam and keep everything tender.
Reheat gently: Microwave sandwiches still wrapped in parchment or damp paper towel to warm through without drying out. If you want a crisper outside, air fry them unwrapped for the last minute or two.
Cost: The cost ends up working out to about $3 per sandwich - but if you use a cheaper bread its about $2!
