Instructions

Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or oil and set aside.
Cook bacon and vegetables: Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped turkey bacon and cook for 1 minute. Then add the diced bell pepper and onion (or your preferred chopped veggies) and cook for 2 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat.
Mix egg mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg whites (or whole eggs), chopped spinach, cooked bacon and vegetable mixture, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk thoroughly until well combined.
Bake the eggs: Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the greased baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly browned. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into 8 equal portions.
Assemble sandwiches: Place a slice of the baked egg portion and a slice of cheese on each sandwich thin (or your choice of bread). Wrap each sandwich with foil or plastic wrap.
Freeze sandwiches: Transfer the wrapped sandwiches into a gallon-sized freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat and serve: When ready to eat, unwrap the sandwich and microwave for 1.5 to 2 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted. Alternatively, microwave for 1 minute then crisp the bread in a toaster oven.

Notes

To make these sandwiches keto-friendly, use your favorite keto bread or try the 90-second microwave keto bread recipe mentioned.
You can customize the vegetable mix by adding your favorite chopped veggies along with the bell pepper and onion in step 2.
For best texture, reheat using microwave and toaster oven combination to crisp the bread.
Ensure sandwiches are properly wrapped to prevent freezer burn during storage.
