    Think of all your favourite breakfast ingredients - fluffy eggs, avocado, tomatoes, bacon and bread all brought together between two slices of fresh bread. That sounds like a pretty epic breakfast to me. This is The Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich!

    When we are looking for something a bit more substantial for breakfast, we usually go with an epic breakfast sandwich. It's usually a Sunday morning thing. Basically, all our favourite breakfast ingredients bursting out of a sandwich.

    It is easily customisable too, so feel free to switch and swap for your own favourites. 

    "The Ultimate" is a bit of a bold statement. But we think these sandwiches have everything! They are a protein packed way to start your day and we have even snuck some veggies in there by adding shredded spinach to the omelette.

    Save yourself some time during the week by batch cooking these on a Sunday and then freezing them for an easy breakfast on the go.

    Step by step

    One: Mash the avocado and set aside.
    Two: Whisk the eggs with the milk and then stir in the cheese and spinach.
    Three: Heat a little oil in a frying pan and add the egg. Gently cook for about 3-4 minutes until the egg is cooked. Fold in half and then slice in half.
    Four: Put the bacon under the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes each side.
    Five: Start assembling the sandwiches by toasting the bread.
    Six: Spread the mashed avocado over 2 of the slices of bread and add the tomato.
    Seven: Top with the cooked egg.
    Eight: Add bacon.
    Nine: Drizzle ketchup over the other slice of bread.
    Ten: Serve

    What bread to use

    Whilst it is all about the fillings, the bread is just as important as it holds the sandwich together. We went with a couple of slices of sourdough, but there are so many options here.

    You could use an English muffin or a bagel, a soft roll or even a croissant for something extra fancy. We found two slices of bread were the most stable though.

    Fillings

    You can really go wild when it comes to customising this sandwich. Use our recipe as a base, and then switch and swap for all your favourites.

    You could swap the bacon for sausages (and even use veggies sausages to keep it vegetarian), leave the avocado out (but we don't recommend that) and even add some roasted peppers for sweetness.

    We didn't add any extra cheese, because there is already some in the omelette. But you could leave it out of the eggs and then add a slice of cheese when stacking up the sandwich so it goes all melty and gooey. You could always then pop it under the grill for a breakfast grilled cheese.

    Sauce

    What is a sandwich without sauce? I wouldn't know, as I put sauce on everything! We kept this recipe classic and used our Homemade Healthy Tomato Ketchup, but you don't have to limit yourself to that.

    You could add our Homemade Healthy BBQ Sauce or some chilli sauce or pesto would work too. Oooh, thinking about it, salsa would be a good way to go and well, especially with the mashed avocado. So many options!

    Freezing

    These sandwiches are great for batch cooking at the weekend and then freezing for easy weekday breakfasts on the go. The only thing we would suggest is to leave the avocado and tomatoes out and then add them fresh once defrosted.

    Wrap the sandwiches individually in some baking paper and then pop them in a freezer bag. Once fully defrosted, you can heat them under the grill or in the microwave.

    Extra tips

    • You can either use slices of bread from a loaf, or make this with English muffins, bagels or croissants.
    • We mixed cheese in to the omelette, however you could skip that and add a slice of cheese when stacking up the sandwich.
    • You can freeze these sandwiches, but we would recommend leaving out the mashed avocado and tomato and adding them fresh before eating.
    • Make these vegetarian by swapping the bacon for cooked vegetarian sausages.

      The avocado in this looks so good.
      So, is this like a cash back app then? I am keen to save money any way I can at the moment.

      I am totally broke at the moment and I know that I could save money on my food shopping. You are right, we don't seem to get a lot of coupons in the UK, but I will take a look at the app.
