Why you’ll love these breakfast sandwiches
I can’t even call this a “recipe” – it’s just a shared dinner inspired by a breakfast my whole family loves! It’s versatile and can easily be customized depending on the bread you can find in the clearance cart in the back of your local Walmart! I’ve used bagels, ciabatta, rolls, and English muffins, and they all taste delicious!
Tonight I served the sandwiches with grapefruit and green beans, but here too the side dishes are endless. This entire meal, including the side dishes, is ready in less than 30 minutes, making this a standby dinner at our house.

To make homemade breakfast sandwiches:
1. Fry the bacon in an electric frying pan until done. Place the cooked bacon on paper towels to drain the fat.
2. In the same skillet, add the eggs and fry in the remaining bacon fat until cooked to your liking. Remove it from the frying pan and place it on kitchen paper.
3. Cut the ciabatta in half and butter each half. Place them on a baking tray and roast them in the oven until lightly browned. As soon as you remove the rolls from the oven, place slices of cheese on half of the warm rolls (you can also add the cheese slices during the last minute of roasting).
4. Prepare the sides that you will serve with the rolls.
5. Make sandwiches and serve immediately!
