What is considered a breakfast sandwich?

The best breakfast sandwich typically consists of foods normally eaten at breakfast time, but stacked into a sandwich rather than a la carte on the plate. Foods like scrambled eggs , bacon , sausage , and cheese are the most common ingredients.

What kind of cheese is good on breakfast sandwiches?

Mild cheeses like mild cheddar, Colby jack, and Monterey jack are the most common cheese for a breakfast sandwich. Other good combinations include brie with ham, provolone or havarti with beef, or pepper jack if you like a little bit of spice. If you like the cheese by itself, odds are you’ll enjoy it in a breakfast sandwich!

What is the best bread for a breakfast sandwich?

The best bread for an egg breakfast sandwich will be strong enough to not fall apart as you eat it, but light enough to take a bite out of it. Some people prefer bagels, but I think they’re a bit too hard to bite into. English muffins are very popular, as are toast and biscuits , and croissant breakfast sandwiches.

Can I make a breakfast sandwich without eggs?

Yes! Make a breakfast grilled cheese sandwich with any added protein as desired. Crispy bacon, sausage, and even leftover ham are great!

Instructions

Prepare your ingredients. You’ll want to have everything ready to go before you start. This means toasting your bread, smearing avocado or butter or mayo, unwrapping cheese, scrambling the egg in a mug, etc. Once your eggs are done, you want to be ready to assemble.
Preheat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Use cooking spray to coat the nonstick skillet and both sides of a mason jar lid ring (the ring only). I used a wide-mouth ring. Set aside.
Place the ring on the nonstick skillet (I prefer lip side down) and either crack the egg into the ring or pour the scrambled eggs into the ring. Use a pair of tongs to push the ring down, keeping the ring touching the skillet for 10-15 seconds so the eggs don’t sneak out from underneath the mold.
Cook the egg for about 2 minutes, or until the egg starts to cook around the edges. If bubbles appear in the eggs as they cook, pop them with a fork. This ensures the egg cooks through the center.
Once you see the egg cooked around the edges, use a pancake flipper to scoop the entire egg and mold and flip it over. Continue to cook for about 1 minute.
Remove the egg to a cutting board, carefully remove the ring, and assemble your egg sandwiches.

Notes

There’s no limit to the creativity that can go into a breakfast sandwich:

Protein: Bacon, sausage, Canadian bacon, turkey bacon, and ham are all delicious options.
Egg: Scrambled or over-easy fried eggs are the best options, and whole eggs taste best (in my opinion). You can boost the protein by adding egg whites, or just use only egg whites if you prefer. Keep reading for how to cook an egg using a round mold so it stays in your sandwich!
Cheese: Technically cheese is optional, but it really adds a savory bite to the sandwich. Mild cheeses like mild cheddar, Monterey jack, and Colby jack are best for breakfast sandwiches. Or even go fancy with goat cheese, feta cheese, or cream cheese!
Bread: I went with English muffins because that’s what I had, but the options are endless. Croissants, tortillas, bagels, maybe even an egg white wrap for the low-carb folks.
