What is your favorite home made breakfast sandwich?

[Mosca]

I’m going to go in a different direction for a few weeks. Breakfast has been a rotation of omelets, tacos, and avocados, in different combinations. Like, some days what I’ve snapped shots of; other days, I might slice an avocado and a tomato onto what toast, and top with melted cheese and everything bagel seasoning.

Now I have a pound of home made breakfast sausage overnighting in the fridge, and I’m going to do breakfast sandwiches until it’s gone. I can pick bagels (any kind except berries), English muffins, toast, biscuits, waffles, or I guess even tortillas. I have lots of different cheeses, I have bacon, ham, sausage, eggs, tomatoes, peppers from bell to habanero, avocados, onions, mushrooms, I have hash browns, I have home fries, I can make any kind of potato. I have several different salsas, and I can make just about anything else. Except salsa macha, I don’t like that.

Thing is, you can’t just pile everything on a breakfast sandwich and expect it to work. Because it won’t hold together, because it’s too much food too early in the morning, because not everything goes together.

I’m going to start with a bagel. This will be built like:

bagel top
salsa roja
hash browns
cheddar cheese
fried egg, over hard
sausage patty
bagel bottom

That’s a sausage egg and cheese bagel with hash browns and salsa. I’m thinking of starting with either a plain or an everything bagel for this. My favorite bagel is pumpernickel, but I’d rather go with the lighter bagel here.

I’m listening, though. If you have a combo that you just have to have, I want to know about it.

[Jerod Broussard]

Simple. 2 fried eggs and a little Tony Chachere's between two toasted white breads.

[smokenoob]

well let’s see….🤔 mebee fry up a sausage patty while microwaving and egg and then some cheddar cheese on top stuffed into an english muffin with nooks and crannies, but….. you knew that! 😁😂😎

[Mosca]

Mrs M went to the store after work. I texted her to get English muffins, she texted back okay… and forgot. Which is fine, I forget her stuff all the time.

[RichieB]

Don't have one as don’t have breakfast. I wake up at 10 to 1030. I'll have some fruit and orange juice around 1130. Lunch between 130 and 230. Dinner normally 700 to 730. I ate early today 600 as all I had was fruit and a neighbor brought over some of her Irish Soda Bread, with raisins!
I have had breakfast sandwich. My choice is an egg in a bagel hole. I think I shared this but here it is.

[Mosca]

That is a nice breakfast sandwich.

[RichieB]

Mosca yours looks delicious but it's too much for this old farts stomach.

[Alan Brice]

Breakfast can be anytime of the day. What if yer a third shifter?

I like just about any type of sandwich made with traditional breakfast foods but I have to admit a really simple one is my go-to more often than not. It's made with lightly toasted white bread. Honey spread on the bottom piece (yes really - honey. It totally works). Fried egg on top of the bottom piece. Slice of good ol' American cheese melted on the egg. Mayo spread on the inside of the top piece of toast. That's it. Toast, mayo, cheese, egg, honey, toast. I like a slightly runny yoke but to each their own on that. The mayo must go against the cheese and the honey must go against the egg. Trust me on this. LOL

[Andrrr]

That’s simple enough for me to try!

[Mosca]

I like that, too. I try to avoid the hard sugars, but once in a while is okay, and honey is the best of the lot. I like a slightly runny yolk, too, but I’m going with over hard for the first shot.

[RickyBobby]

I’m a sucker for a breakfast sandwich. Pretty much any combo I can get. That and breakfast burritos. For the sandwich’s, I mix it up. Generally prefer an English muffin. Then either fried egg over easy because I love that the muffin soaks up yolk. Bacon is a favorite, but I also love pan fried ham loaded on there. I have also become a fan of scrambling up some eggs and cooking the thin/flat like an omelet and then folding it into a square before putting it on the muffin. As for cheese, American is always available and there is something amazing about the way it melts into everything. Minimum 2 pieces for me. I will also vary the toppings on very lightly toasted sourdough. For the breakfast burritos, scrambled eggs, bacon bits cooked into the eggs, and cold, shredded SHARP cheddar rolled in a warm flour tortillas with some hot sauce. Super simple, but brings me right back to childhood. …..now I want breakfast.

[HawkerXP]

+1 on the burritos and english muffin. Bagels in VA suck.

[LA Pork Butt]

Breakfast is usually pretty simple. The only real sandwich we have is a homemade Egg McMuffin. If a scrambled egg burrito with salsa counts then that, too. I recently had a tooth extracted and needed soft food, so I made grits and put eggs over easy on top. I liked it, but it’s not a sandwich.

[STEbbq]

If I had biscuits available, I’d do biscuits but I never do.

It is usually English muffins, toasted
and buttered, over-easy fried egg, slice of bacon snapped in half, and slice of favorite melted cheese. I melt the cheese a bit in the microwave and let the heat of the egg help it the rest of the way. I deliberately break the yolk when smushing the sandwich together. That way, you get mixture of yolk and flavors in every bite. The sandwich and cheese absorbs the yolk so it is not very messy.

it is simple yet decadent.

[Donw]

Split homemade biscuit with sausage patty or country ham, scrambled egg, pepper, butter and strawberry jam stuffed inside.

[STEbbq]

Looking over your list, hash browns would be an option
for a sandwich for the original egg sandwich I mentioned.

What about a Big Mac style sandwich? By that I mean just inserting another muffin slice and piling more toppings on? I am guessing egg will be the key meat for each sandwich and it is not exactly the most stable ingredient for a sandwich so maybe the double deck will let you create a more durable egg-based sandwich.

[DogFaced PonySoldier]

STEbbq I like how you think, sir.

[RonB]

Boring, but either bacon, egg, and cheese on white toast, or sausage, egg, and cheese on a biscuit.

[Mosca]

Not really. If you get too complicated with a breakfast sandwich it doesn’t work. You lose those breakfast smells.

[Andrrr]

I’m a simple man relative to the excellent looking concoctions you muster up, so I’m really looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I agree that adding too much just becomes…. too much. And if I’m being honest, I’m usually too lazy to put a lot of effort into breakfast.
For the base I usually toast and butter an English muffin. I like the idea of using bagels but I find them too tough and chewy where when you go to take a bite it kinda squishes everything out the back and sides. Then mix up the raw egg like you were going to scramble it and cook it in those nifty griddle silicone circles. Once the egg is set enough I remove the mold, flip and top with either some finely sliced mild cheddar or American and cover long enough to melt the cheese. Build the sandwich with the bottom muffin, shaved ham, bacon slices or sausage patty, egg with cheese, a couple dashes of hot sauce and the top of the muffin.

[Mosca]

Yeah, Mrs forgot to pick up the English muffins at the store, and all I have right now is wheat bread and a single Martin’s potato roll, and some wheat tortillas and masa if I want to make a corn tortilla. But there’s a bagel shop only about a mile away, and they open at 5AM., so I can go get a nice, freshly made HUGE soft bagel tomorrow morning.

When tomatoes are at their peak, I love a BLT. Fresh from the garden mater, crisp iceberg, thick slice Conecuh or Wright brand bacon, Duke’s mayo on thick slice sourdough. Or a good 5 grain Italian loaf. Toasted is good but untoasted is just fine with me.

Love a BLT.

[Mosca]

I have a couple KILLER heirloom tomatoes right now. They usually suck in the winter, but these are mid-summer quality. I’d put them on the sandwich, but I have the salsa roja that I’m using. Which I made with heirloom tomatoes, actually.

[au4stree]

🤤 while I do love a BLT, a mater sammich is a close, REALLY close second.

[CaptainMike]

My fave: English muffin (the second-best thing they gave us after English common law before we kicked them out), Canadian bacon (with or without tariff), jalapeno rings (see where I'm going with this), American cheese (see, we really can all get along), and an over priced over medium fried egg. I call it The Great North American Continental Breakfast Sandwich, or GNACB (kind of like NAFTA, but everyone enjoys it and it's more fun to sound out).

Oh, and a little schmear of Duke's, cuz Duke's has 'Twang!

[Andrrr]

Haha! Love it!

[Santamarina]

🤣🤣🤣

[Santamarina]

My go-to for breakfast is a burrito, but when it comes to sandwiches I like to do them like smash burgers.

Breakfast sausage smash burger - loose sausage meatball, smashed, just like a burger.
Egg - I usually do fried medium for the wife and I. For the boys I’ll do a scrambled egg in an egg mold so it stays round.
Cheese of choice.
Bacon.
Served on an English muffin.

A hash brown patty goes great on there too. We don’t often have hash browns at the house, and I’m usually too lazy to grate them fresh, but we almost always have some diced potatoes ready for making home fries for breakfast.

Those don’t lend themselves to a breakfast sandwich, but I’ve found that if you put some home fries inside of a round egg mold and pour over a scrambled egg it holds together well enough to use on a sandwich!

[CaptainMike]

I really like the smash concept with the sausage.

[Mosca]

I like the smashing idea, used it.

[smokenoob]

smashing!
