Packed with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and melted cheese, this sandwich has it all. And to top it off, a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup will satisfy your sweet tooth. Say goodbye to mundane breakfasts and hello to a new and exciting breakfast experience!
Okay, these might be my new favorite breakfast treat: french toast buns layered with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, bacon, and topped with maple syrup. It’s a match made in flavor heaven. I’m calling them French Toast Breakfast Sandwiches!
As a blogger, I get to work with a lot of brands that I truly love and that’s how this recipe transpired. I partnered with Dave’s Killer Bread (basically the only bread, bagels, and English muffins I buy) to share a recipe on Instagram. They wanted to feature their hamburger buns and this is the recipe I came up with.
I thought the sandwiches were going to be good, but I had no idea I would love them as much as I did. Calories aside, I could probably eat these sandwiches every day for breakfast and be a very happy man. Pair this with some cinnamon bites, a peach bellini, and maybe even a mixed berry coffee cake and you have a breakfast for the gods!
