Who doesn't love a breakfast sandwich first thing in the morning? Breakfast sandwiches are a weekend breakfast staple for us and never get old since you can change the ingredients, depending on your mood. I usually make ours with a combination of bread, cheese, egg and sometimes meat. My standard sandwich is with 1 egg cooked over hard, 1/2 to 1 full cheese single on a whole wheat english muffin. However, the bread, egg, meat and cheese options are endless! Here are some suggestions, I'm sure there are many more!
Bread: sliced bread, english muffin, bagel, biscuit
Meat: Canadian bacon, real bacon, turkey bacon, sausage patty, turkey sausage patty
Cheese: cheese single, shredded cheese, cream cheese, feta cheese, goat cheese
Eggs: over hard, over medium, over easy, poached, scrambled, egg white
Other: spinach, sauteed mushrooms, sliced tomato, ketchup, hot sauce
It's probably self explanatory how to make your sandwich... but here's a quick explanation or how I make my usual breakfast sandwich.
Put the english muffin in the toaster. Spray a small non-stick saucepan with Pam spray. Heat pan for about 2 minutes over medium heat. I put my burner on 5 (out of 8). For my usual over-heard egg, I break 1 egg into the pan and cook until it looks set, about 1-2 minutes. Gently flip egg over. It's okay if it breaks apart, just try to push it back together into a shape that will fit onto your bread. If I was using meat, at this time I would place it in the other side of the saucepan.
Cook egg for another minute or two. Meanwhile, your bread has probably finished toasting. I put it on the plate and put the cheese on one side and squirt a little ketchup and hot sauce on the other side.
I hope this sandwich idea, whichever option you choose, brings a little joy to the start of your day, like it does to mine!
