Customizing Your Make Ahead Breakfast Sandwiches
The options to customize your breakfast sandwiches are pretty limitless, so feel free to swap in whatever ingredients you love most, or have on hand for a quick meal. Need inspiration? Here are some fan favorites:
- Swap out the protein: Although eggs are a fan favorite for breakfast, you can always experiment with throwing other protein in too such as beans or scrambled tofu.
- Swap out the veggies: Although I think this combination is AMAZING, you can always experiment with adding or omitting any veggie of choice. Other great additions include mushrooms or bell pepper.
- Swap out the cheese: Following a dairy free diet? Feel free to omit the cheese or replace with a dairy free alternative, such as dollops of Kite Hill Ricotta.
- Add heat: If you like heat, you can add in a drizzle of sriracha or hot sauce, sliced jalapeños, or a sprinkle of cayenne. you would like to kick up the heat, feel free to add extra jalapeños or a few shakes of cayenne.
- Change the batch size: You can easily adapt this recipe to use a smaller or larger-sized sheet pan with fewer or more ingredients if you prefer. Baking time should be roughly the same —although it may bake more quickly depending on the ingredients you add. Keep an eye closely so it doesn’t burn!
