  3. Pour the egg mixture into the baking dish and bake for about 15 minutes until set and slightly puffed up.
  4. Cool the baked egg mixture for a few minutes, then cut into squares or circles.
  5. Assemble the sandwich by placing a piece of the egg patty on half of a toasted English muffin. Top with pesto and mozzarella.
