Description
This classic Breakfast Sandwich is a quick and delicious way to start your day! Loaded with eggs, cheese, and your choice of bacon or sausage, it’s the perfect grab-and-go meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 English muffin, bagel, or croissant
- 1 large egg
- 1 slice of cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 2 slices of cooked bacon or 1 sausage patty
- 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: avocado slices, tomato, spinach
Instructions
- Cook the egg: Heat butter or oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Crack the egg into the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook to your desired doneness (sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled).
- Toast the bread: While the egg cooks, toast the English muffin (or bagel/croissant) until golden brown.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place the cheese slice on the bottom half of the toasted bread. Top with the cooked egg, bacon or sausage, and any additional toppings like avocado or spinach.
- Finish and serve: Add the top half of the bread, press lightly, and serve immediately. Wrap in foil for a breakfast on the go!
Notes
- Customize with your favorite ingredients—swap bacon for turkey, or add veggies like sautéed mushrooms or onions.
- For a lower-carb option, use lettuce wraps or omit the bread entirely.
- You can make these sandwiches ahead and freeze them! Wrap each sandwich in foil and freeze. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes when ready to eat.
