Ingredients & Variations
EGGS No classic breakfast sandwich is complete without an egg. Cook them till the yolks are just set, fully cooked through, or scramble them, whatever your preference!
BACON We love topping our sandwiches with Canadian bacon, leftover ham, or oven bacon!
CHEESE Anything and everything goes. Cheddar cheese, mozzarella, or Havarti are all great options! For a little extra spice try topping it with Monterey Jack or pepper jack.
SAUCE The homemade sauce in this recipe is the perfect complement to a classic breakfast sandwich. You can keep it simple and serve salsa, a homemade hollandaise sauce, or a cheese sauce for a fun change!
ENGLISH MUFFINS These muffins are light and fluffy, a great balance to the hearty fillings inside! Out of English muffins? Try serving on a dinner roll, sliced bread, or homemade biscuits.
Breakfast sandwiches don’t have to be exactly like the drive-through variety. Add mashed avocado for a great twist on Avocado Toast. Top them with your favorite veggies, like sauteed bell peppers, onions, or spinach. Try adding bacon or your favorite breakfast sausage! Have fun and get creative!
How to Make a Breakfast Sandwich
The best way to make breakfast sandwiches is assembly-line style so they all come together at the same time. This is great for making extras for the freezer!
- Toast English muffins and heat ham all on one pan in the oven.
- While English muffins are heating cook eggs on the stove.
- Top warm English muffins & ham with eggs and serve!
So easy!
How to Freeze
Breakfast sandwiches are easy to freeze after they are already made. They can be frozen just as they are for an easy reheat!
To Freeze Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap, label with a date and place wrapped sandwiches in a large freezer bag.
Write the date on the outside and pop them in the freezer!
To Cook From Frozen Remove from plastic wrap, wrap in paper towel. Microwave at 30% power for 30 seconds. Heat at full power for an additional 55-65 seconds or until heated through.
Or just place frozen in a lunchbox or backpack. By lunchtime, they’ll be thawed out and ready to heat!
