Most of us don’t have time for an elaborate breakfast.
That’s why we force down microwaved eggs and oatmeal, or (shamefully) grab a pastry or two from the coffee shop.
It doesn’t have to be like that, though.
With breakfast sandwich recipes like these, you can whip up delicious and nutritious breakfasts in 10 minutes or less.
Even better, most of them store well in the freezer, so you can work them into your meal prep and just heat one up every morning.
Enjoy!
If you want to liven up a ham and cheese sandwich, try adding a different condiment than mustard and mayo. Mango chutney will add a sweet note to this savory sandwich, like the pairing of pineapple and ham but more mellow.
Make this one vegetarian by using soy ham slices or tempeh bacon. For carnivores, go with Canadian bacon which is usually uncured but can be smoked for added flavor.

Get the RecipeThis is breakfast like you’ve never had it before, and you might even think it’s the best breakfast sandwich yet. If you love having a pumpkin spice latte in the morning, may as well have a pumpkin sandwich to go with.
Just mix together the pumpkin puree with maple syrup and olive oil for an addictive spread. Make this as is for a vegetarian breakfast sandwich, or swap out the vegan sausage patty for chicken apple sausage instead.

Get the RecipeYou don’t have to eat breakfast sandwiches out of a box. These are easy to make at home, freeze, and reheat whenever you’re hungry. Start by making a simple egg casserole, which hardly takes any time in the kitchen.
Whisk some eggs with milk, and fold in the fillings you want like broccoli and cheese. After you bake the egg casserole, slice it up for the English muffin sandwich filling, and freeze for quick breakfasts.

Get the RecipePita isn’t just for shawarma and falafel. You can use the flatbread to make a great breakfast sandwich like this one with eggs and spinach. Other filling ideas include tasty combos like sausage and scrambled eggs.
Or, turn the pita into a breakfast pizza by heaping on shredded mozzarella, making a nest of fresh spinach, and then cracking the egg in the center to bake until the whites are set and the pita’s toasty.

Get the RecipeSince most breakfast sandwiches have eggs and cheese, it’s hard to imagine one that can be vegan. A lot of egg substitutes for baking, like flax and chia seeds, won’t work here.
