Ingredients for this breakfast roll
A breakfast sandwich can be made in many ways: Of course, some fast-food chains believe they have a monopoly on the concept. But there is a lot of creativity that can be poured into this basic idea. Our goals for this breakfast sandwich recipe? Make it quick enough to make on a busy morning, yet delicious enough to be hearty and decadent. (We have a healthy version if you prefer: read on!)
The best thing about this concept is the harmony of all elements. What you need for this breakfast sandwich recipe:
- eggs
- english muffin
- Spices: Butter, Salt, Garlic Powder, Chives
- Cheddar cheese
- tomato
- Smoked mayonnaise (mayonnaise, hot sauce, smoked paprika)
Tips for preparing the sandwich
The eggs in this breakfast sandwich are super filling and make for a packed sandwich! You can use just one egg and half the seasoning ingredients if you like. But using two eggs makes for a very hearty morning meal. Here are some pointers for preparing the sandwich:
- You will cook the eggs into a thin circle and then fold them twice. Folding the eggs on top of each other adds height and texture to the sandwich.
- Next, melt the cheese and cover the pan. This should take less than a minute: the time depends on the thickness of the cheese.
- While you are cooking the eggs, prepare the smoked mayonnaise. This is optional but adds firmly Smoke flavor to this sandwich. Grab a bottle of smoked paprika: you won’t regret it.
- Bacon is optional! If you’re a bacon lover, make some bacon to add here (or use vegan bacon). We eat mostly vegetarian or pescetarian, so we don’t usually add anything – plus it’s quicker!
Variant: Healthy breakfast rolls
Want to make a healthier version of a breakfast sandwich? This recipe is already healthier than most because it doesn’t contain bacon or breakfast sausage! But here are some ideas to start the day even easier:
- Use 1 egg instead of two. This saves a few calories (although of course it’s less filling!).

- Use a sprinkling of feta instead of a slice of cheddar cheese. It helps cut calories but still adds great flavor.
