    This recipe for Sausage & Egg Breakfast Sandwiches is not only easy to make, they're super filling and and can be made ahead of time.

    Three sausage & egg breakfast sandwiches piled on a white plate.

    What is a breakfast sandwich?

    A breakfast sandwich typically consists of items consumed for breakfast: eggs, bacon/sausage, bread and American cheese.

    It's usually served on English muffins, bagels, biscuits or croissants.

    One of the most well-known breakfast sandwiches is McDonald's sausage egg McMuffin.

    Why you'll love this recipe

    I make these breakfast sandwiches for my family frequently, and they love it.

    It's an easy recipe, easily customizable to what you have on hand.

    My version includes hashbrown/potato patties, which adds a little extra texture to the sandwiches and makes them super filling.

    They're great for when you're on-the-run, and need a hand-held, portable meal.

    These sandwiches are freezer-friendly.

    Ingredients you'll need

    • English muffins: you can also use biscuits, bagels, croissants, mini pancakes, or even toast
    • breakfast sausage patties: or turkey sausage, bacon, back bacon/Canadian bacon, ham, or deli meat
    • eggs: you can do scrambled eggs, over-easy or sunny-side for a runny yolk; you can also use just egg whites too
    • cheese: any cheese of your choice, such as cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack
    • hashbrown potato patties: baked; optional, but really makes the sandwich pop

    How to make sausage & egg breakfast sandwiches

    Split the English muffins in half with a fork or knife.

    Toast the English muffin halves.

    Cook the eggs according to your preference.

    Heat the breakfast sausage patties (microwave or warm them in a skillet, or oven).

    Layer a slice of cheese, a sausage patty, egg and hashbrown onto the bottom half of the toasted English muffin.

    Replace the other half of the English muffin and enjoy.

    How to serve & reheat

    Enjoy the Sausage & Egg Breakfast Sandwich while warm.

    You can reheat the sandwiches in the toaster oven, microwave, or convection oven.

    How to store

    If enjoying on-the-go, individually wrap each sandwich in aluminum foil.

    You can store cooled sandwiches wrapped up in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Freeze the individually-wrapped breakfast sandwiches for up to 1 month (in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container).

    Other additions to your sandwich

    Often times, I like to add a little greenery and veggies to my breakfast sandwich.

    Feel free to add:

    • sliced avocado
    • spinach
    • sliced cucumber
    • sprouts
    • sliced jalapenos
    • roasted red pepper
    • tomato slices

    If reheating the breakfast sandwich at a later time, place these additions after warming it up.

    Expert tips

    For circular, round eggs, cook them in a lightly greased cookie cutter to keep their shape (about the same diameter as your sausage patty).

    A quick way to cook eggs: crack the egg into a microwave-safe bowl (about the same size as your sausage patty), poke the egg yolk, cover with a lid and microwave for about 30-45 seconds, depending on your microwave's power.

    You can easily customize these breakfast sandwiches however you like: turn them into small pancake sandwiches, or waffle sandwiches. (My kids love these!)

    If you're doing a large batch, you can cook the hashbrown patties and the sausage patties at the same time in the oven for convenience.

      I love a good sausage and egg sandwich! I typically use biscuits, but English muffins are an excellent choice. And adding in the hashbrown patty is a new twist - I'm definitely going to make these!

      Made these this morning for breakfast and they were a huge hit. The boys love to slather on a little HP sauce too.
