Weekends are for filling, easy brunches, and we absolutely love making our own eggwich sandwiches! These take about 10 minutes total – toast the muffins, cook the egg, and assemble the breakfast egg sandwich with your favorite toppings.

These eggwiches are a satisfying breakfast that you can make ahead. Make a big batch on the weekend, wrap, and reheat for breakfasts during the week. And they’re customizable for everyone – each person can choose their own toppings on their eggwich. I like cream cheese and spinach on mine, my husband likes avocado and hot sauce. Any way you cook them, they are a fantastic bite!

The Best Non-Stick Pan for Eggs

As a food blogger (and general cooking enthusiast!), I use my pots and pans daily. Having a really good non-stick pan is essential in the kitchen, especially for eggs. I love these non-stick pans which are stainless steel, have no Teflon coating (non-toxic!), and are so durable you can use metal utensils on them.

I used my non-stick pan for this eggwich recipe, but I also have their non-stick griddle pan which I love for grilled cheeses and crepes, and a non-stick wok which is prefect for stir fries. These get a 10/10 in my book!

How Do I Make an Eggwich Breakfast Sandwich?

  1. Split your English muffins and toast them in a toaster – set to light to medium toast.
  2. In a non-stick skillet, add 1 teaspoon of butter over low to medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan, making sure not to break the yolks. Cook eggs for 6 to 7 minutes, until most of the egg has turned white around the edges. Flip and cook for an addition 2 minutes.
  3. Remove English muffins from the toaster, divide them into tops and bottoms. Spread 1/2 tablespoon cream cheese (or mashed avocado) on each muffin bottom. 
  4. Top the cream cheese with 1 egg, then 1 slice of American cheese, and spinach. Add the English muffin top to each. Slice and enjoy!

 

Make Your Eggwich Vegetarian for a Better Version

This vegetarian eggwich is a simple way to get extra veggies in your diet. I’m all about making recipes meatless when I can. Vegetarian cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. 

By building meals around vegetarian pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make better meals for you and your family. I made a list of my 125 favorite vegan pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my vegetarian recipes here that are on The Herbeevore. These easy and tasty recipes are fantastic meatless meals for your table.
