Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 2 English muffins: Choose whole grain for added fiber, or go for classic for a soft texture.
  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed: This provides creaminess and healthy fats. If you prefer, try hummus as an alternative.
  • 2 sausage patties: A classic breakfast option or substitute with turkey sausage for a leaner option.
  • 2 large eggs: Rich in protein, they can also be replaced with egg whites for a lighter version.
  • 4 slices of bacon: For crunch and flavor, you can switch to turkey bacon or even skip it for a vegetarian version.
  • Salt and pepper to taste: Essential for enhancing flavors, so don’t skimp on this!

How to Make Make Ahead Breakfast Sandwich

  1. Toast the Muffins: Start by toasting the 2 English muffins until they’re lightly golden. While they toast, mash the ripe avocado in a bowl until it’s creamy yet textured.
  2. Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the 2 sausage patties in the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer them to a paper towel to drain excess grease.
  3. Fry the Bacon: In the same skillet, add the 4 slices of bacon and cook until crispy, around 3-4 minutes per side. Once cooked, set them on a paper towel as well.
  4. Fry the Eggs: With the skillet still hot, crack the 2 large eggs into the pan. Fry them until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, approximately 3-4 minutes for that perfect ‘dippy’ texture.
  5. Assemble the Sandwich: Take each toasted muffin half and spread a generous layer of mashed avocado on top. Place the sausage patty on the bottom half, followed by the fried egg. Add 2 slices of bacon on top, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Storing & Reheating

To store your breakfast sandwiches, wrap them individually in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container, keeping them at room temperature for up to 2 hours. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them for even longer, freeze your sandwiches for up to 3 months. To reheat, pop the sandwiches in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds or until warmed through. The texture of the bacon might change slightly, but refreshing it in a hot skillet for a minute will revive its crunch.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

  • Avoid overcooking the eggs to maintain that delightful runny yolk texture.
  • Use ripe avocados for the best flavor and creaminess; a little squeeze of lemon can also keep avocado from browning.
  • If you’re short on time, cook the sausage and bacon in advance and reheat them when assembling the sandwich.
  • For a lighter option, consider using egg whites instead of whole eggs.
  • Adjust seasonings to your personal liking; adding a pinch of red pepper flakes can give it a nice kick!

A delicious breakfast sandwich can brighten any morning. With its comforting combination of textures and flavors, this Make Ahead Breakfast Sandwich serves as proof that you can relish a fantastic breakfast without the fuss. Don’t hesitate to mix it up—embracing variations based on what you have on hand can lead to delightful surprises. You’re invited to enjoy every bite of your kitchen creations!
