19 Breakfast Sandwiches That Will Seriously Improve Your Morning
There’s nothing wrong with a good ol’ bacon, egg, and cheese, but if you’re looking for some new breakfast sandwiches to improve your morning, we have some winners for you. There’s fun to be had with fillings, toppings, and seasonings, whether you’re going all out with homemade fennel sausage patties, looking for egg-free and vegan options, or you’re ready to be wowed by adding a pickled green tomato to the mix. And while some diehard sandwich-heads may question whether open-faced variations count under sandwich classification, we say: Bring on the brioche, butter up the biscuits, and start your sourdough. As long as bread is involved, who cares?

Do you dream in pork? Grind fennel, oregano, pepper flakes, and add to ground pork for a superlative homemade patty. Add the fixings and thank the chef (i.e. you).

In my book, avocado toast will never go out of style. Topped with a perfectly poached egg, heirloom tomatoes, and Meyer lemons, this easy version is bound to make history.

If prosciutto and Parmesan weren’t enough to drive you wild, this recipe’s anchovy richness will surely seal the deal. Add some spinach for good measure.

An egg-in-a-hole was one of the first dishes I ever learned to cook. I just regret the years I spent making them without bacon and melted cheddar.
