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

 

  1. 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).
  2. Toast the bread: While the egg cooks, toast the English muffin (or bagel/croissant) until golden brown.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
