Easy Breakfast Sandwich Recipe

Good morning, sunshine! Start your day off right with my easy Breakfast Sandwich recipe! This sandwich will have you ditching your go-to morning fast-food order. It’s crispy, creamy, rich, savoury, tangy and so delicious!

My Breakfast Sandwich recipe starts off with an English muffin. The English muffin is toasted until crispy, crunchy, golden-brown and delicious. Toasted bread and butter go hand in hand! A generous knob of butter is spread over the base of the English muffin, melting into all the nooks and crannies. That’s what I call a buttery bite!

Now, for the fun part – let’s get to building a delicious breakfast sandwich! The buttered English muffin is topped with a store-bought or homemade breakfast sausage patty. This juicy pork-based patty is flavoured with dried and fresh herbs, maple syrup and pepper, giving the sandwich a savoury, sweet and peppery flavour. Cheddar cheese and pickled red onions round out the flavours, imparting brightness, creaminess, crunchiness and tanginess.

A breakfast sandwich wouldn’t be complete without the addition of a perfectly fried egg! Frying an egg can be daunting but it doesn’t have to be! The egg is cooked in a non-stick skillet for 3 – 3 ½ minutes or until the egg white has set and the yolk is runny! The runny yolk REALLY makes this breakfast sandwich sing! Not only does it add creaminess and richness, but it creates the most luxurious sauce that envelops all the ingredients. Now, for the finishing touch – a drizzle of hot sauce. This spicy condiment brings the heat and gives the sandwich a saucy spin! There you have it, a tasty breakfast sandwich that can be made and enjoyed in the comfort of your own home!

My better than takeout Breakfast Sandwich comes together in 5 minutes, uses a handful of simple and everyday ingredients and couldn’t be easier to make! That’s what I call breakfast done right! Enjoy this quick and easy sandwich for breakfast, brunch, lunch or as a snack. You really can’t go wrong! So, let me show you how it’s done. Grab a spoon and come and cook with me!
