    Are you a breakfast person?

    I almost always wake up and want to eat within the first hour or so. BUT, in general, I'd say that I rarely eat breakfast foods.

    I make one exception to this. I am wild about breakfast sandwiches - like today's Gluten-Free Breakfast Sandwich.

    I'm not sure why I crave a good egg sandwich, but rarely eat eggs on their own.

    I think it is the way everything comes together — crispy bread and bacon, fluffy eggs, and, of course, cheese. (Because everything is better with cheese.)

    Give these gluten free breakfast sandwiches a try and I think that you will love them as much as I do.

    Ingredients for Making Gluten Free Breakfast Sandwiches

    • Egg:  I used a large egg; this recipe isn't particularly fussy so use what you have on hand.
    • Half and Half: Milk or heavy cream works well too.
    • Salt and Pepper:  As always, adjust the amount to your personal preferences.
    • Bacon: If you are concerned with your fat intake, turkey bacon is a good option.
    • Spinach: Optional, but a great way to sneak a little green into your morning.
    • Hot Sauce: Use your favorite brand and adjust the heat to just how you like it. (Or leave it off if spicy food isn't your thing.)
    • Bread:  I am a fan of using a gluten free English muffin when I make breakfast sandwiches, but a bagel or bread work just fine.
    • Cheese:  Play with this and use what you like!

    Variations

    • For an extra kick of flavor, sprinkle on some fresh chopped chives just before serving.
    • Use breakfast sausage in place of the bacon.
    • Mix up the cheese! When I am craving a flavor-bomb, I will substitute shredded smoked gouda.
    • Add a few slices of avocado or tomato slices to the mix.
    • Omit the cheese and instead spread 2 tablespoons of pimento cheese on the English muffins.

    • Breakfast Sandwich Maker or Sheet Pan

    Storage

    These Gluten-Free Breakfast Sandwiches can be made, excluding the spinach, up to a day ahead of time.

    You can also freeze them wrapped individually. Again - omit the spinach and add it when you are ready to serve. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
