Variations & swaps
Substitutions and Options
- There are so many ways to customize your sandwiches, and the varieties are endless! Here are a few things you can try:
- For the “sandwich” itself: Substitute biscuits or bagels for the English muffins. We’ve even found some pita bread circles or bagel thins to try!
- For the eggs: Add diced peppers and onions for a “Denver omelet” style (you could even add salsa after you heat your sandwich), or add other veggies, mushrooms, etc. Use fried eggs instead of baked, for a different taste and texture. Add shredded cheese directly to the eggs and omit the sliced cheese (less messy when reheating in the microwave). If you want round eggs, check out this video on m…
- For healthier options: Use egg whites instead of scrambled whole eggs. Substitute turkey sausage or turkey bacon for your meat. Omit cheese if needed, or go with a low fat option. You could even add cottage cheese into your baked eggs. Go for whole-wheat English muffins for added fiber and a great source of whole grains.
- For keto breakfast sandwiches: Make these using keto biscuits OR leave the “bread” part out all together, double the amount of eggs you bake, and sandwich your meat and cheese between two pieces of egg as the “sandwich”.
- For gluten-free and/or dairy-free: You can substitute your favorite gluten-free bread or use GF pita, Ezequiel bread, cloud bread, or GF English muffins. You can make them dairy-free by omitting the cheese, and use water or coconut milk for the eggs (or leave it out entirely – it’s really there just as a protection for the egg proteins and the eggs can be made without it).
