    Breakfast Sandwich

    English Muffins for Breakfast

    Here is the best recipe to make a spectacular breakfast sandwich! You will need homemade English muffins, bodega-style eggs, and, of course, some crispy bacon slices (or vegan rice paper bacon for a unique touch)! As a sauce, a Japanese-style mayonnaise is ideal with this sandwich. 

    What does “bodega” mean in bodega-style eggs?

    In numerous American metropolises, especially in Spanish neighborhoods, bodegas are small grocery / corner stores. The latter often offer sandwiches to eat on the go. This egg cooking technique is super easy and efficient, which is why it is called bodega.

    In fact, you simply have to beat the eggs with a bit of water (and salt and pepper, to taste). Then, the pour the mix into a hot pan and add cheese of your choice on top. Finally, fold the eggs into a square of similar size as a sandwich.

    How to prepare your sandwiches in advance

    Did you know you could make breakfast sandwiches in advance?

    Simply assemble your sandwiches before wrapping them in parchment paper and aluminium foil. Store them in the freezer. Then, when you feel like eating a breakfast sandwich, heat it again in the oven. Otherwise, you could also thaw the sandwich the day before and heat it in the microwave the next morning.
