this healthy breakfast sandwich will most definitely blow your healthy, easy breakfast loving self outta the water!

Why? Because

It’s healthy. Something to balance out all that sugar.
It can be made in advance. Because there’s no busier time than the holidays!
It’s a breakfast sandwich. Breakfast sandwiches are literally my favorite. Whole wheat english muffins, eggs, veggies, cheese, optional meat … what’s not to love?

If you’re a new reader to this little food blog we like to call SMTY, let me catch you up.

Currently, Trevor and I are in sunny Cancun, Mexico and lovin’ every minute of it! We’re gone for quite a few days, but I still needed to keep this blog up and running. 🙂

As you can imagine then, November and the beginning of December were h.e.c.t.i.c. as I was trying to recipe test, photograph, and write a bunch of new recipes for you!

This healthy breakfast sandwich could not have come at a more perfect time.

When things get busy, it’s so hard to stay healthy!

Is that just me?

I feel like the busier I get, the more I crave really indulgent, comfy, cozy, probably shouldn’t be eating this every night of the week type food.

H.O.W.E.V.E.R

With Mexico coming up, it was really important for Trevor and I to stay on track with a healthy meal plan!

Well. This healthy breakfast sandwich recipe made it SO easy.

I prepped these on a Sunday night and we enjoyed them all week long!
