11. Place each egg over 4 halves muffins topped with the Canadian bacon slices
12. Close the sandwiches with 4 halves muffins topped with melted cheese slices
13. Place sandwiches over a baking tray and pour 4 tbsp of the warm sauce prepared in steps 1-5 to each sandwich. Add some mozzarella, covering each moist sandwich
