I’ve always been a sucker for fast-food chain breakfasts, but their high-fat, high-calorie, high-everything-else doesn’t really jive with me. This is my healthy alternative and it’s ridiculously easy to make. Actually, I never even thought about posting it until my husband requested it—he’s on a month-long business trip and wants to be able to make it for himself. This picture was taken pre-heat up and about five seconds before my husband grabbed it to take with him to eat on the road. It may not look awesome, but it tastes great.
Just like my Buffalo Chicken Salad post, consider this more of a how-to guideline for making a breakfast sandwich. I change this up quite often in order to keep it interesting or depending on what I have on hand. Hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
Breakfast Sandwich
by The Tale of Two Kitchens
Ingredients:
- English muffin, sandwich round, bagel (thin) or one piece of bread cut in half
- 1 egg or ¼ cup egg substitute
- cooking oil spray
- meat (2 slices of bacon cut in half, 2 sausage link cut in half, 2 pieces Canadian bacon, etc.)
- Cheese (1/2 ounce shredded or a slice of cheese)
- Green chile or jalapeno (optional)
- red pepper flakes (optional)
- garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Toast bread. While bread toasts, cook or heat up meat. Spray a very small, microwave-safe dish (about the size of the bread you’re using) with oil. Put egg in dish, break yolk, and sprinkle with garlic powder, red pepper flakes (optional), salt, and pepper. Microwave for around 30-45 seconds or until cooked through (timing depends on your microwave voltage).
To assemble: Lay bread toast side up on a paper towel (if taking to-go) or a plate. Place cheese, meat, and egg on one side of bread. Place chile or other veggies (optional) on other side; top the sandwich. Heat sandwich for about 10-15 seconds, to warm everything evenly. Enjoy.

Lol, okay this is amazing, because I've always had to make fried eggs for my breakfast sandwiches because my eggs would always fall apart, I never thought to use a smaller dish to cook the eggs in and let them set. :)
