They say it is the most important meal of the day.
Growing up I had a set of friends (siblings) who’s Mom made them a hot breakfast every.single.day of the week. There were some school mornings I was so envious of their hot, yummy breakfast that smelled so inviting (we would sometimes car pool to school together so I was taunted many a mornings by the aroma of those hot delicious breakfasts lingering out their backdoor).
But their Mom was mostly a stay at home/work from home Mom and my Mom worked an office job, far, far away. So my weekday breakfast typically consisted of boring cold cereal or instant oatmeal (don’t get me wrong I love my cereal and oatmeal, even to this day, but sometimes you want just a little bit more!).
But on the weekends? My Mom totally made up for the cold cereal breakfasts during the week with a hot breakfast smorgasbord… cinnamon rolls, bacon, eggs, fresh fruit… the works!
However, the reality is for most people they just don’t have time to eat a hot breakfast every day (I still don’t!). Most of us eat something quick and easy or something they can just take, grab and go!
But that is what I love about today’s recipe. The egg salad mixture for these Breakfast Style Egg Salad Sandwiches can be made in advance, so in the morning all you need is like three, maybe five minutes to have a hot and filling breakfast.
Break the cold cereal breakfast norm with this creamy egg salad, loaded with spicy breakfast sausage served on a toasted English muffin, covered with melted cheese!
Yes, become the breakfast hero.
