Egg and Bacon Muffin Sandwich

One of my favorite breakfast choices is an egg and bacon muffin sandwich, especially after a big night.

Egg and Bacon English Breakfast Muffins

If you are looking for a delicious way to start the day, then you should look at making one or multiple of these.

This recipe is inspired by the McMuffin that you can get from McDonald’s. Obviously, it’s not exactly the same as I use a few extra-tasty ingredients.

You can make the English muffins at home or simply buy them from your local bakery. I prefer the easier option, especially for early morning breakfasts.

Hundreds of Ingredient Combinations

This egg and bacon muffin recipe is quite simple, so you shouldn’t be afraid to add extras. Other ingredients may turn this from a wow to a mind-blowing breakfast.

I love to add some fried mushrooms and tomato in my muffin. These both add a ton of flavor without being too overpowering.

Changing the sauces is an excellent way of personalizing this recipe. For example, you can add a bit of BBQ sauce or tomato chutney. You can even try replacing the mayonnaise with something else.

Rather than using a fried egg, you can make some scrambled eggs or an omelette. Either method is ideal if you don’t like how messy fried runny eggs can be when they’re in a sandwich.

If you want a traditional muffin, then just keep the ingredients to bacon, egg, and of course, one slice of cheese. It is likely not to taste the same, but it does get pretty close to it.

There are hundreds of different ingredient combinations that you can do. I like the one that I have in this recipe.

Why Make it at Home

Apart from saving money, you can also choose exactly the ingredients that you want to use. For example, if you wish to have extra bacon, then simply cook some more. If you want more cheese, then simply just double up on the cheese. 

There is just so much flexibility when you make food at home rather than eating out. 

Below is the entire recipe for making these delicious egg and bacon muffin sandwiches. They’re pretty straightforward, and I highly recommend that you give my ingredient combination a go.

Recipe Tips

  • You can add sauces such as tomato sauce, BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, tomato relish, or whatever you enjoy most.
  • If you have limited room in your kitchen, turn your oven on to a lower temperature so you can keep cooked ingredients such as the bacon warm while you do other preparation and cooking.
  • Are you feeling like eating some salmon? Simply exchange the bacon with some smoked salmon.
  • If you like runny eggs, flip, then cook for a couple of seconds rather than minutes before removing from heat.
