    Why this recipe works

    • Easy to meal prep for a quick breakfast 
    • A healthy start to the day!
    • Gluten free

    Ingredients

    Ingredients needed to make a gluten free breakfast sausage sandwich.

    Egg

    You will need one whole egg per serving for this recipe. Swap out for egg whites or an egg substitute.

    Cilantro

    An ingredient not commonly found in breakfast sandwiches, but I love the twist this adds! You can swap for your favorite herb if you're not a cilantro fan. Chives would be a great substitution.

    Turkey breakfast sausage patty

    Use your favorite brand here. Double check the label to ensure it’s gluten free. 

    Gluten free english muffin

    It’s a good thing gluten-free foods are becoming more popular now! There are lots of different gluten free brands now that are widely available at the grocery store. 

    Toppings

    I love adding sliced avocado to this sandwich for a touch of creamy richness in place of a slice of cheese, but feel free to add your favorite toppings as you wish! Add leafy greens like arugula or spinach, or a slice of tomato. 

    See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    • Use egg whites in place of whole eggs to keep it even healthier.
