How to Make an Easy, Delicious Breakfast Sandwich
Like many of you, I eat breakfast more often when working from home. After trying everything from dry cereal to smoothies, I quickly ran out of fresh ideas. I even started the bad habit of going to McDonald’s weekly for my favorite, bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. Something had to change, and these McTrips gave me an idea; why not make my own breakfast sandwich? It’s not rocket science and you have probably made a breakfast sandwich of your own. But, this one is super easy and very tasty. So let’s kick your dry cereal to the curb and go Full Dad Mode with how to make an easy breakfast sandwich!

- 1 dash milk
Instructions
Grill Sausage
- Preheat grill to med-hi
- Cut sausage chub into 10 round pieces (9 cuts) or use pre-cut patties

Notes
Breakfast Sandwich Tips
- Seasoning – Breakfast sandwiches are not hard to make, but what takes then from “meh” to “wow” is seasoning. A little garlic powder, red pepper flakes & cheese take your eggs up a notch in flavor.
- Good Bread – I discovered Bays English Muffins in the Dairy department of the Grocery Store. These are amazing, toast well and can last for weeks in the refrigerator.
- Weekend Leftovers = Weekday Timesaver. We make bacon or sausage every weekend for a family breakfast and always have leftover meat. Simply reheat some during the weekday and you can have a breakfast sandwich in under 10 minutes!
McDonald’s Egg McMuffin Copycat?
This is not a copycat of the Egg McMuffin, checkout copycat.com for one that looks identical. I’m not a big fan of the Egg McMuffin as the Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit is my go-to at McDonald’s. I’ll try my hand at that in the future when I learn how to make my own biscuits.
Can you Reheat Breakfast Sandwiches?
Yes. But this is not a make-ahead recipe, I just make enough for two. I found this really great Make-Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches recipe from House of Nash.
