A breakfast sandwich usually consists of at a minimum:
- bagel or english muffin
- egg
- optional - extra - some kind of meat like bacon or sausage
On my already admittedly loud and dressed up sandwich (just made a batch earlier today), I like:
- EVERYTHING BAGEL (all the seeds and stuff)
- CREAM-CHEESE on the bagel both sides
- BUTTER on the bagel both sides
- GUACAMOLE on the bagel both sides, maybe some in the middle
- EGG (brown) -> omelette evenly split up into 7 portions for 7 days of the week or worth of breakfasts
- SALSA covering up all the yellow of the egg
- HASHBROWN/potato patty
- maybe some BRUSCHETTA to get that tomato complimenting potato even tho thats covered by the salsa already
I barely ever have bread for breakfast. And when I do it’s toast with my full English.
Definitely HOT SAUCE, no matter what else
Hard pass but I’m glad you found something you enjoy 😘
Do yourself a favor and try a nice slixe of tomato. Or microgeens.
I usually have bruschetta (spread) on hand
Gotta be a scrambled egg, runny yolk just gets on my hands and mouth and makes me want to call him. I also put whatever cheese on it and red pepper
Ham (or bacon) egg and cheese, always. With the egg over medium if I’m cooking. The bread can vary. I like an everything bagel though.
I haven’t done one in forever, but I was quite proud of my breakfast sandwich. The original used a hoagie roll and the final build used a brioche bun.
From the bottom up, it’s bun bottom, mayonnaise, 1 hash brown pattie (1.5 for the hoagie), a slice of pepper jack cheese (1.5 for the hoagie), a fried egg shaped like the bun, another/1.5 slice of pepper jack, sausage (or 1.5), mayo, top bun.
I used to be able to put back two of the hoagies. I’d make two of them, put them on a plate, and go into my room and eat them. Now I can’t finish one of the brioche ones.
I pop three eggs in a pan, add salt and cover with four slices of toast. Flip when the eggs are done and drop on a slice of cheddar and ham, some rucola. When the toast is toasty i just fold 'em over at th egg-seam.
I call it Alabama eggs - because they’re in bread.
My wife makes something similar, but this is an interesting twist. Totally stealing that name for any egg sandwich, though.
It varies based on what I have on hand and how much time I want to spend.
bready part: croissant > bagel > english muffin > bread
eggy part: scrambled egg with diced onion and sweet bell pepper (red/orange/yellow, not shitty green pepper)
cheesy part: sharp cheddar > pepper jack > less cheddar > swiss > american cheese
meaty part: bacon > sausage > ham
Upvote for the shitty green bell pepper.
The rest all taste better. Why would you go out of your way to get green? (If they’re cheaper and you need to spend your money wisely, that’s a different story.)
They taste different. I like sweet bell peppers too, but green gives a green pepper flavor they lack. Using both is ideal, but I appreciate either alone too. Or poblano!
Gotta add bell pepper to mine
Also, u dont care for cream cheese?
nah, though I can see why it might make sense if you’re using a bagel. I feel like it would just make the sandwich content slip out of the middle.
Let me show you a few favorites I have made!
Scrambled egg with green onion and shrimp on roll
Scrambled egg and cheese on everything bagel
Scrambled egg with green onion and cheese on plain bagel
Sausage, over medium egg and cheese on English muffin
Sausage, over hard egg, cheese and hashbrown on English muffin
Scrambled egg with green onion and cheese on plain bagel
Egg over hard with green onion, cheese and bacon on English muffinThe only minimum requirement for me is egg!
Im definitely missing green onion, thanks for the tip. I might just buy an onion but I would love if there was an already prepped version like how theres already smushed garlic and stuff like that
Honestly, green onions grow so well in a pot on the countertop, and then just take kitchen scissors and trim off a few inches for your sammiches? Perfection
Let the green onion bits cook in the fat for a minute before adding the egg for maximum flavor transfer!
Good deal boss
Tortilla or pita with peanut butter and jelly or fruit
Toast with tomato sauce and butter
Cheese sandwich with apple slices
buttermilk biscuit cut in half with butter and a slice of spinach & onion omelet
alternately when in season, a thin slice of toasted multigrain with thick slices of heirloom tomato and two eggs fried over hard, optionally fresh torn basil
but a PB&J on wheat is also a fine breakfast
Gotta add spinach to mine
- [] Spinach
Toasted bagel (sesame or poppy preferred) if I’m more hungry, English muffin if less hungry
Scrambled egg for even texture
Pork roll/Taylor Ham if available, or either bacon or sausage, whichever is better at the place I’m at.
American or cheddar based on my mood
A good cracking of black pepper
Hash brown on top of I’m feeling extra
Just lately - one fried egg, salt, nothing else. It’s basic, but it’s what I’m enjoying.
Baconeggncheese with ketchup mayo and lettuce on an everything bagel with the insides toasted black
egg, beans, onion
Maybe beans someday but not quite yet for me 😋
Edit: what kinda beans—brown/black or red
Whatever is in stock : )
