Starting the day with a nutritious and delicious breakfast is important for kids. Making kid-approved breakfast sandwiches at home is a fun way to ensure they get a healthy start. These sandwiches are customizable, quick to prepare, and sure to please even the pickiest eaters.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Whole wheat English muffins or bread
- Eggs
- Cheese slices (cheddar, American, or Swiss)
- Cooked bacon, sausage patties, or ham
- Butter or cooking spray
- Optional: spinach, tomato slices, or avocado
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, prepare the protein. Cook bacon, sausage, or ham until heated through. Keep warm and set aside.
Next, scramble or fry the eggs. For a kid-friendly touch, make them fluffy and well-cooked. You can also make mini omelets in a muffin tin for a fun twist.
Toast the English muffins or bread until golden brown. Spread a little butter if desired.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each muffin or bread. Add the cooked egg, then the protein (bacon, sausage, or ham). Feel free to add optional toppings like spinach, tomato, or avocado for extra nutrition.
Top with the other half of the muffin or bread, and serve immediately. For a grab-and-go option, wrap the sandwiches in foil or parchment paper.
