The best breakfast sandwich is actually a sandwich inside a sandwich! To recreate this next-level morning meal, fry eggs inside crispy cheese rounds (we'll talk you through this easy process). Then pile those, sun-dried tomatoes, and arugula between toasted English muffins for a handheld feast that will make your day.

Broccoli-Cheddar Egg Sandwiches

We have three words that might just change your make-ahead breakfast sandwich game, if you haven't combined them before: Sheet. Pan. Eggs. That's right, you can bake an entire 12-serving "omelet" to stuff inside these vegetarian sandwiches. Freeze those egg portions as-is, then when you're ready to enjoy, reheat them in the microwave, top with pesto and veggies, and stuff that all inside English muffins. This is even faster than fast food!

With 10 minutes and four ingredients, you can whip up a restaurant-style avocado toast sandwich. Make this a regular occurrence and you'll save so much money over the course of the year—and can switch up the other elements as you see fit. Steamed asparagus spears are only the beginning. Layer on mustard, fresh herbs, tomato, pickled vegetables, or everything bagel seasoning to up the ante.

Just when you thought waffles couldn't get any more delicious, we created a fabulously rich breakfast sandwich recipe featuring the brunch staple. Strawberries, cream cheese, granola, and sunflower kernels make up the creamy and crunchy center. And you don't even need to mix up a batter! The "waffled" portion of this recipe comes into play when you press the bread-based sandwich panini-style in a waffle iron.

Air-Fryer Breakfast Burritos

Who says breakfast sandwich ideas must include bread? If bagels and biscuits are invited to the breakfast party, we say tortillas can totally tip-toe in, too. In this easy air-fryer recipe, we essentially tuck a cheesy, chili-spiced egg scramble inside a tortilla for a better-than-fast-food breakfast burrito.

For an unexpected Italian-inspired breakfast sandwich idea, stuff fluffy flatbread with funky crumbled blue cheese, spicy arugula leaves, and salty prosciutto. Fig jam provides the perfect amount of sweetness to offset those savory flavors. Since this grilled sandwich tickles all the taste buds and is fairly substantial, it's definitely one meal that will tame your appetite 'til lunch!

You deserve better than coffee and a granola bar on those running-late mornings. Carve out some time on a weekend and stock your freezer with a batch of these make-ahead breakfast sandwiches and you can fuel up in a well-balanced, warm way any morning for the next month (if they last that long!). On one of those harried mornings, grab a frozen sandwich, reheat in the microwave for about 2 minutes, and devour it as you hit the road.

Why wait until lunch to start consuming veggies? Bright baby spinach and juicy red tomatoes give this Mediterranean breakfast sandwich recipe a burst of fresh flavor, plus some extra fiber and vitamins. For just enough decadence and a welcome salty element, sprinkle on some feta cheese just before serving.

Cheesy Egg Sandwiches

Think of these breakfast sandwiches like a mash-up of grilled cheese (yes, please!) and a classic egg sandwich. Start by sizzling up a couple of omelets, then stuff those eggs inside two slices of mozzarella- and veggie-topped bread. Griddle each sandwich, slice in half, then prepare to experience brunch bliss.

Test Kitchen Tip: Our original recipe calls for mozzarella, but any of your favorite cheese styles could certainly be substituted for—or added alongside—the mozz.

Skip your usual grab-and-go bagel and cream cheese in favor of an ooey-gooey, irresistible bagel breakfast sandwich. Featuring a heavenly combination of brown sugar, honey, and golden raisins, our homemade apple compote recipe makes a sweet, unique sauce. Try it with a whole-wheat, cinnamon-raisin, apple-cinnamon, plain, chocolate chip, blueberry, or French toast bagel as the base—any would play nicely with the dessert-inspired toppings.

Bacon and eggs are the dynamic duo of the breakfast world (and beyond). In this, one of our best breakfast sandwich recipes, they team up in fine form alongside crisp cucumber slices and summery basil leaves.
