Can I tell you a secret? These veggie “breakfast” sandwiches are a nice, simple meal for any time of day. This is a great back-pocket recipe for busy days. Most breakfast sandwiches are rich and heavy, with lots of butter, cheese and bacon. This meatless breakfast sandwich is on the more healthy side. It features a modest amount of melted cheese and some fresh veggies to balance it out.
This egg cooking technique is so quick, your egg will be ready by the time your muffin pops out of the toaster. Feel free to add any crisp, raw vegetables in your drawer. I’m a big fan of the onion and hot sauce components, which are bold on their own but balance out the richness of the eggs and cheese. Feta, raw spinach and roasted red pepper would be a nice alternative combo. You also can’t go wrong with goat cheese when eggs are involved.
How to Make the Best Breakfast Sandwich
The perfect breakfast sandwich offers layers of opposing textures and flavors. Here’s what I suggest
How to Cook the Egg
The scrambled egg muffins you see here are a stroke of Deb genius. I saw her cooking method on A Cup of Jo several years ago, and I’m a big fan. Basically, you scramble up one egg with a tiny bit of water (the water helps prevent the egg from browning too soon). Pour it into a hot, medium-sized, buttered pan. It starts to set almost immediately. Place a couple of slices of cheese in the center to melt, then fold one side over the middle, followed by the opposite side. Repeat with the remaining two sides. And you’re done! Eggs cooked this way will please kids, as well as runny yolk-averse individuals and basically everyone. Try it, and you’ll see.

Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free English muffins or slices of toasted gluten-free bread. Change it up: You can replace the mayonnaise with additional mashed avocado, if preferred. An alternative flavor combination that would be good? Try feta cheese, spinach instead of arugula, and a slice of roasted red pepper.
