Ingredients for bacon egg and cheese cranberry sauce breakfast sandwich

• Marble rye bread – Earthy and dense marble bread is perfect to hold this sandwich together
• Butter – Our fat of choice for our sandwich
• Cheddar cheese – Cheddar cheese is sharp and tangy, and melts beautifully.
• Cranberry sauce – Sweet and tart, this provides the perfect sweet/savory balance in our sandwich.
• Bacon – Bacon is meaty and gives us a salty crunch!
• Eggs – Eggs are perfect for a breakfast sandwich, extra protein, and are extra delicious.
• Spinach – Baby spinach gives the sandwich a fresh, green bite. 

Different proteins

I’ve used bacon here, but feel free to use your favorite breakfast protein! 

Turkey bacon, breakfast sausage, Canadian bacon, ham, or your favorite soy-based breakfast meat would do wonderfully here. 

The options are endless!

Make it your way

There are so many options for this bacon egg and cheese cranberry sauce breakfast sandwich. 

Not a fan of marbled rye? 

No worries! Feel free to substitute with an English muffin, sourdough, white bread, or any gluten-free bread.

Is cheddar not your fav? 

Switch it out for provolone, swiss, Colby Jack, or American!

Ran out of baby spinach? 

Don’t fret! Arugula is a perfect substitute, and it’ll give us an extra peppery bite. 

Storage and leftovers

You could assemble this sandwich the night before, wrap it in plastic wrap and parchment paper and store it in the refrigerator. 

When you’re ready to heat it up, simply remove the wrappings and place it on a microwave-safe dish for 2-3 minutes or until heated thoroughly. (But keep in mind the bread will no longer be toasted and crispy).
