Ingredients & Variations

Eggs – We use large eggs but egg substitutes will work too. Season, whisk and bake the eggs to make several sandwiches at once!

If you’d prefer, heat some butter in a skillet and make scrambled eggs or fried eggs with a runny yolk.

Sausage – Precooked or homemade sausage patties are excellent sandwich builders! Canadian bacon, leftover ham, or bacon works, too.

Cheese – Cheddar is the most common because of its sharp flavor. Try Gouda, gruyere, or even Pepper Jack.

English muffins – English muffins are the perfect-sized circle for the egg and ham. Swap up the bun and make a croissant sandwich or try biscuits or even waffles for a wafflewich!

Sauce for Breakfast Sandwiches: If you’d like to try a sauce, sweet relish is a great additon along with mayonnaise. Try an aoili or hummus.

Variations

Additions – Season the egg or stir in some hot sauce, chives, or green onions. Top with fresh tomato slices, caramelized onions, or some extra-crispy bacon.

  • TexMex: Add cheddar cheese, salsa, and guacamole.
  • Everything: Swap out the English muffin for a bagel, add a smear of cream cheese, and a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning.
  • Low Carb: All of the ingredients for breakfast sandwiches are low-carb except for the muffins. For fewer calories and carbs, make a keto breakfast sandwich using keto bread or cloud bread!

How to Make Breakfast Sandwiches

  1. Season & whisk eggs. Bake in a 9×13 pan.
