Subs and Tips for Healthy Breakfast Sandwiches:

Vegetarian: You can easily just leave off the bacon and these sandwiches will be totally meat free.
Gluten free: Use a gluten-free English muffin or whatever gluten-free bread you enjoy.
Dairy free: Use a shredded cheese alternative to make the sandwiches dairy free.
Use other veggies: Mix anything you like into the eggs! Chopped broccoli, bell peppers, tomatoes, cooked mushrooms… You can mix in cooked or raw vegetables. Raw vegetables will be a little more crunchy in the finished sandwich, so you may want to precook some vegetables before adding them depending on your own taste preference.
Meat options: Don’t want to use bacon? Use sliced ham or precooked sausage patties instead.
Picky eaters and toddlers: These sandwiches can be chopped into small pieces to serve to toddlers and younger kiddos. Have a child that wouldn’t want spinach in the eggs? Start by adding just a little spinach or you can leave the spinach out entirely.
