Equipment Breakdown

• Skillet or Non-stick Pan: For cooking the eggs and sautéing the spinach.

How to Prepare Breakfast Sandwich

Step 1: Prepare the Goat Cheese Spread

In a mixing bowl, combine the goat cheese, chopped fresh chives, grated garlic, and onion powder. Mix until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Spinach

In a skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the spinach and a pinch of sea salt, cooking until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Eggs

In the same skillet, crack the large eggs into the pan. Season with ½ teaspoon of sea salt. Cook to your desired doneness—sunny-side-up, over-easy, or scrambled, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4: Toast the English Muffins

While the eggs are cooking, toast the English muffins until golden brown.

Step 5: Assemble the Sandwich

Spread a generous layer of the goat cheese mixture on the toasted side of each English muffin half. Layer with a slice of tomato, the sautéed spinach, and the cooked egg. Top with thinly sliced red onion and optional avocado slices, if using. Add microgreens or sunflower sprouts for an extra crunch, and drizzle with your favorite hot sauce.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious breakfast sandwich with a side of fruit or a warm beverage!

Swap Guide

• Goat Cheese: Substitute with feta or cream cheese for a different flavor.
• Chives: Green onions or parsley can be used in place of chives.
• Spinach: Kale or arugula can add a different texture and flavor.
• English Muffins: Whole-grain bread or bagels can be used for a heartier base.

Slip-Ups to Skip

• Don’t overcook the eggs; they should be soft and slightly runny for the best texture.
• Be careful not to burn the spinach. Sauté just until wilted.
• Don’t forget to season each layer; it enhances the overall flavor of your breakfast sandwich.

Keep-It-Fresh Plan

To keep your breakfast sandwich ingredients fresh, store the components separately. The goat cheese spread can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Cooked eggs should be consumed within 3 days. For the best results, assemble the sandwiches just before serving to maintain the freshness of the ingredients.

Common Qs About Breakfast Sandwich

Can I make this sandwich vegan?

Yes! You can replace the eggs with tofu or chickpea scramble, and use a plant-based cream cheese alternative instead of goat cheese. The rest of the ingredients can remain the same or be adjusted to your liking.

How can I meal prep these sandwiches?

Assemble the sandwiches without the hot sauce and avocado ahead of time, then wrap them tightly in foil or parchment paper. Store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave or oven until warmed through.

What can I serve with a breakfast sandwich?

This breakfast sandwich pairs well with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a smoothie for a balanced meal. You could also serve it with a side of crispy hash browns or a simple salad.

Can I freeze breakfast sandwiches?

Absolutely! Wrap the assembled sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw in the fridge overnight and then warm in the oven or microwave before serving.
