Notes and tips

Cook eggs just before assembly for best texture
Bacon can be prepared the day before
Bacon can be cooked in the oven for convenience
Wrap sandwiches in parchment paper to prevent sticking.
For more uniform eggs, use a cookie cutter.
Toast the muffins at the last minute for extra crispiness.
Cherry tomatoes stay fresher in a separate container
To reheat, remove lettuce before microwaving
Add a slice of avocado for extra flavor
