13 Breakfast Sandwich Recipes to Keep You Satisfied Until Lunch (2024)

Frico Fried Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches

The best breakfast sandwich is actually a sandwich inside a sandwich! To recreate this next-level morning meal, fry eggs inside crispy cheese rounds (we'll talk you through this easy process). Then pile those, sun-dried tomatoes, and arugula between toasted English muffins for a handheld feast that will make your day.

Avocado-Egg Breakfast Sandwich

With 10 minutes and four ingredients, you can whip up a restaurant-style avocado toast sandwich. Make this a regular occurrence and you'll save so much money over the course of the year—and can switch up the other elements as you see fit. Steamed asparagus spears are only the beginning. Layer on mustard, fresh herbs, tomato, pickled vegetables, or everything bagel seasoning to up the ante.

Air-Fryer Breakfast Burritos

Who says breakfast sandwich ideas must include bread? If bagels and biscuits are invited to the breakfast party, we say tortillas can totally tip-toe in, too. In this easy air-fryer recipe, we essentially tuck a cheesy, chili-spiced egg scramble inside a tortilla for a better-than-fast-food breakfast burrito.

Freezer Egg Sandwiches

You deserve better than coffee and a granola bar on those running-late mornings. Carve out some time on a weekend and stock your freezer with a batch of these make-ahead breakfast sandwiches and you can fuel up in a well-balanced, warm way any morning for the next month (if they last that long!). On one of those harried mornings, grab a frozen sandwich, reheat in the microwave for about 2 minutes, and devour it as you hit the road.

Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwiches

Why wait until lunch to start consuming veggies? Bright baby spinach and juicy red tomatoes give this Mediterranean breakfast sandwich recipe a burst of fresh flavor, plus some extra fiber and vitamins. For just enough decadence and a welcome salty element, sprinkle on some feta cheese just before serving.

Cheesy Egg Sandwiches

Think of these breakfast sandwiches like a mash-up of grilled cheese (yes, please!) and a classic egg sandwich. Start by sizzling up a couple of omelets, then stuff those eggs inside two slices of mozzarella- and veggie-topped bread. Griddle each sandwich, slice in half, then prepare to experience brunch bliss.

Test Kitchen Tip: Our original recipe calls for mozzarella, but any of your favorite cheese styles could certainly be substituted for—or added alongside—the mozz.

Toasted Bagels with Apple Breakfast Compote

Skip your usual grab-and-go bagel and cream cheese in favor of an ooey-gooey, irresistible bagel breakfast sandwich. Featuring a heavenly combination of brown sugar, honey, and golden raisins, our homemade apple compote recipe makes a sweet, unique sauce. Try it with a whole-wheat, cinnamon-raisin, apple-cinnamon, plain, chocolate chip, blueberry, or French toast bagel as the base—any would play nicely with the dessert-inspired toppings.

Ham & Egg Breakfast Sandwich

Prep a batch of these ham and egg breakfast sandwiches and pop them in the freezer for up to one month. When you're ready to reheat, microwave for 45 seconds and enjoy.

Cheesy Egg Breakfast Sliders

A pan of these ham and cheese breakfast sandwiches is our go-to for serving a crowd. To make them, place layers of eggs, Black Forest ham, and white cheddar cheese on Hawaiian sweet rolls. A spread of honey mustard adds just the right amount of tanginess.

Breakfast Grilled Cheese

Skip the bread and make your breakfast sandwich with frozen waffles instead! Before toasting in a pan, fill the waffles with cheese, bacon, and scrambled eggs. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup.

Biscuit Breakfast Sandwiches

Inspired by a classic North Carolina dish, these buttery biscuits are filled with cheese and a vinegary olive and herb sauce. Bake them until warm and serve them with additional sauce.

Sweet Potato Biscuit Sandwiches with Ham and Redeye Gravy

This breakfast sandwich recipe is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. A spread of peach preserves balances salty bacon and thick ham slices. Make the redeye gravy with strong brewed black coffee.

Egg and Sausage Bread Bakes

Rather than sandwiching the filling between slices of bread, we're stuffing it into a hollowed out loaf. Here, sausage, eggs, peppers, and onions combine to make the filling. Slice it and serve as a twist on a classic sausage and egg breakfast sandwich.
