Pimento Cheese Breakfast Sandwich

Flavorful homemade pimento cheese is the perfect breakfast sandwich addition alongside fluffy eggs, silky avocado, crispy bacon, and spring greens in this pimento cheese breakfast sandwich.

Everyone needs a banger breakfast sandwich up their sleeve and my version of banger just so happens to include pimento cheese.

Along with all the breakfast sandwich essentials including eggs, bacon, avocado, and pretty much just whatever else you can dream up.

Suffice to say, your day is about to be off on the right foot.

My favorite part about these sandwiches is that you can go off-script for a good portion of it depending on what you have in the house!

I typically make a double batch of pimento cheese and store it for my sandwiches all week and then dress up them up as I go with whatever I have in the fridge at the moment.

These Breakfast Sandwiches feature…

• A creamy, flavorful homemade pimento cheese spread
• A toasted English muffin base
• Crispy bacon, fluffy eggs, avocado slices, and fresh greens

Ingredients You Will Need

• Cheddar cheese
• Cream cheese
• Greek yogurt
• Pimentos
• Garlic
• Cayenne
• Unsalted butter
• Eggs
• English muffins
• Spring greens mix
• Avocado
• Bacon

Choosing Your Sandwich Base

I typically go with a classic English muffin base for these breakfast sandwiches, but honestly, the sky’s the limit for what you can use! Toasted bagels, sourdough bread, Italian bread, or even tortillas would all be amazing bases as well.

Tips for Perfect Breakfast Sandwiches

1. Use freshly-shredded cheddar cheese – freshly shredding the cheddar cheese lends a much better texture and sharper cheese flavor in the pimento cheese.
2. Cook eggs omelet-style – I recommend cooking eggs for these sandwiches omelet-style which just means you’re going to slowly cook over medium heat, tilting pan to evenly cook eggs, and then folding into thirds.
3. Toast English muffins or bread for sandwich – don’t forget to toast your bread base before assembly.
4. Assemble sandwich just before serving – these breakfast sandwiches don’t store the best so make sure you assemble them only just before serving.

Recipe Variations

Try these ideas for a different twist on these sandwiches.

• Skip the meat – omit the bacon and replace with a meatless sausage or sauteed mushrooms.
• Try a different meat – try a breakfast sausage, a few slices of ham, or turkey in place of the bacon.
• Add more toppings – try fresh tomato slices, pickles, sprouts, roasted red peppers, or sun-dried tomatoes.

Now that’s a sandwich that pretty much ensures your day is gonna rock. The rich pimento cheese is a total dream paired with the soft toasted English muffin base, all those fluffy eggs, and crispy bacon.

All I can say is good luck fitting your mouth around this one.
