How to Make Scrambled Egg Sandwich
Making a scrambled egg sandwich is easier than you might think. Follow these simple step-by-step instructions to prepare the perfect scrambled egg breakfast sandwich at home:
Start by slicing the croissant buns in half. For extra flavor and texture, you can lightly toast the croissants, but this step is optional and works great either way.
Next, spread mayonnaise on top and bottom of the croissant. Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each croissant, then add a strip of bacon. You can also cut the bacon into smaller pieces to evenly distribute the smoky flavor throughout the scrambled egg sandwich.
Next, place fluffy eggs and 3 slices of avocado onto the stack. Lightly sprinkle the avocados with salt and pepper.
If your eggs are freshly made, the heat will help melt the cheese over the small curds of the eggs.
Place the top of the bun on the sandwich and serve.
Recipe Variation Ideas
- Try different bread: Croissants are classic, but you can also use toast, bagels, English muffins, sourdough or brioche buns for your breakfast sandwich.
- Add more meat: Swap or add to the bacon with other meats like ham slices or a sausage patty for a heartier sandwich.
- Add vegetables: Boost nutrients and flavor by topping your sandwich with fresh veggies such as onion, tomato, arugula, baby spinach, or regular spinach.
- Use a spread or sauce: Add extra flavor with a layer of mayo, mustard, butter, or pesto. For a little heat, drizzle on hot sauce or sriracha before enjoying your savory egg sandwich
- Gluten-free waffle egg sandwich: pairs fluffy eggs, crispy bacon, melted cheese, and avocado between toasted gluten-free waffles for a quick, delicious, and make-ahead breakfast.
How to Store Leftovers
Leftover sandwiches can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap individually to keep them fresh, using freezer paper for freezing to prevent freezer burn. Microwave for 1 – 2 minutes, or in the oven at 400°F, 2 – 3 minutes for fresh, 7 minutes for frozen for a quick, tasty breakfast.
Frequently Asked Questions
To prevent sogginess, let the eggs cool slightly before assembling, and add avocado or sauces after reheating if making ahead. Wrapping sandwiches individually also helps maintain texture.
Cheddar, American, Swiss, pepper jack, or even mozzarella all melt well and add flavor to your sandwich – choose your favorite!
