The Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich
Featured comment
This is a wonderful sandwich! And the tomato garlic sauce is really a find. I’ll use it in so many ways. All the flavors in this sandwich shine through and go perfectly together. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
These Breakfast Sandwiches Are Life.
Over-the-top, super-indulgently, must-make, weekend brunch LIFE. Sleep in, wake up, pull on sweatshirt, assemble bed head top knot, grab coffee, make sandwich.
We’ve got butter croissants, a tangy tomato butter sauce (more like tomato jam?), salty thick-cut bacon, soft-cooked eggs, and a smash of guacamole to finish it off.
In the last month: I’ve made these for myself, then our team, then for our friend Joe when he stayed with us for a few days, and again during the week to make life a little more manageable. Overkill and I care zero percent. ♡
It is just THE ULTIMATE breakfast sandwich.
So go pick up some croissants and let’s go! It’s time to make some breakfast sammies.
Watch How To Make This Breakfast Sandwich
Ingredients You’ll Need
Breakfast sandwich includes but not limited to:
- Croissant
- Salty bacon (thick-cut, please)
- Egg (SOFT SCRAMBLE because it changed your life too, right?)
- Garlic Butter Tomato Sauce
- Guacamole (or mashed avocado)
I extend all my breakfast sandwich love to any variations of this creation. English muffins. Pepperjack Cheese. Gouda cheese. Roasted red peppers. Magic Green Sauce. Fried eggs with a runny yolk.
How To Make The Best Breakfast Sandwich
Making these sandwiches could not be easier! Here’s what you’re going to do.
- Get your croissants nice and golden with a quick pop in the oven for a minute.
- Cook up your eggs in a skillet over medium-low heat until they’re perfectly soft. Gently swipe your spatula across the pan when the edges of the eggs start to create soft curds. Watch these closely so that you don’t overcook them.
- Build your breakfast sammie! Pile high some crispy bacon, tangy garlic butter sauce, guacamole (obviously), and a slice of pepperjack cheese. To keep it a bit more mild, you could also use a slice of cheddar cheese instead. Holy moly! You’re about to be in actual breakfast heaven with this.
How To Make Eggs For a Breakfast Sandwich
The essential is obviously the soft scramble, which we talked about at length earlier this week. This is no McD’s breakfast sandwich (although, to be fair, I have been known to eat and love a Sausage Biscuit with Egg in moments of weakness). But no, there are no perfectly formed egg disk here.
We’re talking about super creamy, gently cooked, soft scrambled eggs. Life changing.
If scrambled eggs aren’t your thing, you have options. You could make eggs on a sheet pan for a crowd. Cook your eggs fried or sunny side up. Poach it. Your choice!
Variations To Try
Though we really love these breakfast sammies with bacon, garlic butter sauce, guac, and cheese, it’s really a choose-your-own adventure here and there are endless combos that would work well and be very, very delicious!
- Maybe you want to try a waffle or a tortilla wrap instead of a croissant? Love it! Those waffle nooks and crannies are perfect for holding your sammie components.
- Perhaps a layer of crispy fried hashbrowns or potatoes tucked in there? That’s a yes from us!
- Did we hear someone say a little pickled onion topping for tang or hot sauce or some heat? We like the way you roll! Big flavors ahead!
Breakfast Sandwich: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different kind of bread for this sandwich?
I mean, you could… but also a buttery toasted croissant here is just TOO GOOD. An English muffin would work great here in a pinch as well.
What other sauces could I use?
Magic Green Sauce would also be a REAL WIN here. Salsa. Your favorite hot sauce. Whatever you like to top on your eggs.
What could I serve this with?
A delicious simple arugula or mixed greens salad with vinaigrette would be great here. Also: fruit, juice and/or mimosas, pastries of some kind, and (obviously) lots of coffee.
How could I make this vegetarian?
Just omit the bacon! Maybe even replace with roasted mushrooms!? Yum.
Could I freeze this breakfast sandwich?
This is more of a fresh, slow weekend morning kind of breakfast sandwich. If you’re looking for something to prep ahead and freeze, take a look at our Meal Prep Breakfast Sandwiches with some easy sheet pan eggs.
What other meats could work on this sandwich?
Some yummy smoked ham or a sausage patty would be delicious as well! I could even see chorizo patty being an option here too.

Nice to meet you!
I’m Lindsay and I ♡ FOOD. I used to be a teacher, and now making food and writing about it online is my full-time job. I love talking with people about food, and I'm so glad you're here.
Did you make a recipe? Tag @pinchofyum on Instagram so we can find you!
If it’s wrong to have this sandwich for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner, then I don’t ever want to be right. Looks AMAZING!
My boyfriend and I make a version of these using bagels – we like to call them BABEs (bagels, avo, bacon and eggs)!
nice recipe, thank you for it and for the garlic butter tomato sauce! That sauce is new to me, so thank you!
This recipe sounds great. Where can I get the recipe for the garlic butter tomato sauce?
Here it is! http://wvaea.org/tomato-sauce
That is one epic breakfast! Will have to make this some time to treat myself (:
Oh. My. God. This was amazing. I saw it this afternoon and was like yes this is Friday night dinner! My fiance and I inhaled! The tomatoe sauce and guac is an amazing flavor combination on the butter croissant.
Hi Lindsay! I’m a current Senior at Vanderbilt University and I’m working on a project to improve peanut butter jars. I have enjoyed reading your blog and share your love for peanut butter! I always have a hard time scooping out all of the peanut butter and we wanted to see if people like you would be interested in this type of jar. Do you ever find it difficult to scoop out peanut butter from the bottom of the jar? Would you potentially be interested in a jar with a lever (think of a push pop) that lets you scoop out all its contents?
YES!! or a lid on both ends!! I have thought about this extensively. I hope you do it and I wish you luck!
Hello Lindsay!
I have been following your food blog for a little while; your lentil curry recipe is among my favorites.
This said, may I suggest you drop the words, “Epic” and “Ultimate” from your recipe titles? Firstly, both terms are terribly over- and improperly used to the point of meaningless. Secondly, if I ate this “Ultimate” Breakfast Sandwich as prepared, I would end up hospitalized with anaphylactic shock from the scrambled eggs, to which I am allergic. That might be “epic,” but not in a good way. And if I alter the recipe to use tofu or paneer or egg substitute scramble, it would no longer be, “ultimate.” 🙂
That looks absolutely delicious! Can’t beat any breakfast using bacon and fresh eggs!
It’s called “artistic license”. If the titles bother you, read another blog! That’s called “freedom of choice”. I’m glad the author didn’t waste time answering you. Life is too short to be mean. Many blogs name their creations like this, I guess because to them their recipe IS the ultimate recipe they’ve ever tasted.
I made the tomato garlic sauce the other day, and that alone was life changing. Cannot wait to slathered it on a breakfast sammy!
Holy Moley Lindsay! I want to make (and eat) a gazillion of these breakfast sandwiches…right now! Yep, we eat with our eyes and with the words we read that describe luscious food!
I would consider this an Ultimate(or Epic) sandwich because it has marvey ingredients that both Eddie and I love! YESSSSSSSS!
On the menu for tomorrow. Thanks for posting the recipe.
Under the caption ” can’t leave anything alone ” have you thought of using Fresh sour dough bread ?
I’m dying! (And now hungry) This looks amazing!!!
I’m usually an english muffin fan for breakfast sandwiches, but this croissant sandwich looks too good to pass up!
Thank you for this awesome sandwich recipe! And thank you for being part of my Sunday morning! It’s been one of those wonderful, beautiful, recharging mornings with crisp fall air, golden sunshine and a hint of color in the green leaves outside. Reading your new recipe led to a recipe for eggplant red pepper soup at the bottom of the page that looks great if you were to turn this sandwich into brunch, which led to pumpkin bars with caramel frosting I think, which eventually led to chicken alfredo pizza and learning that you guys taught kids in the Philippines for a year and cute photos of the kids who seem somehow heroic when you describe them. Thank you for enriching my day by sharing yours! But it’s 12:00 now and I must adult at some point today. Hope your week is phenomenally blessed!
Esse sanduíche realmente parece muito bom, eu comeria no lanche, na verdade ele é quase um almoço. Adorei a receita.

It can sometimes be an uphill battle to figure out creative ways to make healthy breakfast meals. The cheapest and painless method of making a healthy breakfast is one could put together a quick tuna salad with light mayonnaise and spicy mustard with sliced celery and tomatoes. Or they could put tomatoes on the side soaked in apple cider vinegar with the mother by Bragg nutrition and slice up some raw garlic too consumed with sliced tomatoes. And if one really wants to get instant with their healthy breakfasts objectives, they could make a bowl of Wheaties cereal with almond milk and call it a day. LOL
Dear Lord!!! You always have the best looking food but this has got to be right up there… ironically we’re heading up the north shore this weekend for a little vacation and we’re making croissant sandwiches!
Look yummy i must try my self

I think all breakfast sandwiches should be served on croissants. So yummy!
Hey Lindsay,
This post reminds me of the good days back in downtown Brooklyn, when Mom would buy me hot Pastrami and cheese sandwiches from the bodega store on Fulton Street ear Flatbush Avenue. A good New York Pastrami sandwich with fresh cut Board Head Pastrami on NY hero bread always satisfied your gut and left you smiling and sleepy afterwards. 🙂
Crossaint, Bacon, Garlic Butter?? You are speaking my language!! Thank you!!
This was the best breakfast sandwich ever. I used baked prosciutto in place of bacon and wow. Yummy. Thank you for sharing.
Didn’t you used to include nutritional information (calories, etc.) with your recipes? Where did they go?
This is a wonderful sandwich! And the tomato garlic sauce is really a find. I’ll use it in so many ways. All the flavors in this sandwich shine through and go perfectly together. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
I can’t wait to try out this recipe. Its quite simple!
Great recipe I will try it out! Thanks Lindsay for sharing!
