Want to spice things up? Add these extras:
- Sliced tomato
- Caramelized onions
- Sriracha mayo (mix 1 tbsp mayo with 1 tsp sriracha)
Feel free to experiment with different breads too. English muffins or bagels work great!
Remember, the key to a perfect sandwich is using fresh, high-quality ingredients. Don’t skimp on the good stuff!
Instructions
Grab your favorite English muffin and toast it until golden brown. Spread a thin layer of butter on each half.
Cook a sausage patty in a pan until browned on both sides. Set it aside.
Fry an egg to your liking – sunny side up works great here. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Layer your sandwich like this:
- Bottom muffin half
- Sausage patty
- Slice of cheddar cheese
- Fried egg
- Crispy bacon strips
- Sliced avocado
- Top muffin half
Press down gently to meld the flavors. The warm egg yolk will mix with the melty cheese, creating a delicious sauce.
Wrap your sandwich in foil for a few minutes. This lets the flavors combine and makes it easier to eat.
Unwrap and enjoy your ultimate breakfast sandwich! The mix of textures and flavors will start your day off right.
Tips, Tricks & Storing
Want to make the best breakfast sandwich ever? Here are some tips to help you out!
Always toast your bread or bun. This keeps it from getting soggy when you add your fillings.
Try using different cheeses for variety. Cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack can add great flavor.
Cook your eggs to your liking. Scrambled, fried, or poached – it’s up to you!
Add some greens for a fresh crunch. Arugula or spinach work well.
Don’t forget the sauce! Mayo, hot sauce, or a spicy sriracha mayo can take your sandwich to the next level.
To store your sandwich, wrap it tightly in foil or plastic wrap. Keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
When reheating, use a toaster oven or regular oven for best results. This keeps the bread crispy.
Pro tip: Assemble dry ingredients first, then add any moist toppings just before eating. This prevents sogginess.
For meal prep, store ingredients separately and assemble when ready to eat. Your sandwich will stay fresh longer this way.
