So, breakfast has been basically my favorite meal since I was a kid. At least, it was always my favorite to go out and eat. But, as life gets busier and busier, I don’t have a lot of time to get an exciting breakfast on the table. My week days are so busy getting the kids and myself fed, dressed and out the door that cereal is usually our daily meal. Pretty boring if you ask me! So, on the weekends, particularly Sunday, I try to change it up.
Breakfast sandwiches are something that I have never had interest in. They always look really unappealing to me in restaurants. So, I had the brilliant idea to make my own! I have been wanting to make english muffins for a while (recipe to come). So, I thought, what better to make them and have breakfast sandwiches! Oh my. I swear I could have eaten like five of those sandwiches. I made one for my husband and he couldn’t get over how good they were. Talk about addicting!
The flavor combination was killer. I could see myself eating these daily if I would allow it. Make these today and you won’t regret it. It will definitely add a little jump to your morning.

*I like my eggs without runny yolks, but if you prefer otherwise, cook for less time.
* This recipe can easily be increased for any amount of servings desired.
