Sheet Pan Poached Egg Breakfast Sandwiches -

I threw together a quick and easy sheet pan poached egg and bacon breakfast sandwich this weekend. It’s one of my favorite go-to recipes when I have hungry mouths to feed but a bit pressed for time. What didn’t occur to me was how this tasty, time-saving breakfast may be just what others were looking for. It wasn’t until a friend dropped by that morning and wanted to scribble down the steps after I whipped up another batch that I realized this may be a recipe worth sharing! So, for all of you breakfast sandwich lovers who would rather make it at home than run through the drive thru, this one’s for you!

Perfectly Poached Eggs

The secret to perfectly poached eggs in the cupcake tin is the water and timing. By adding a tablespoon of water to each tin, you prevent empty tins from scorching and keep the eggs from sticking to the sides and bottom of the cupcake tin.

Most ovens will bake perfectly poached eggs between 12-16 minutes. Depending on the consistency you want your yolk, remove accordingly. Mine were removed right at 16 minutes, however, my oven is quite temperamental, so I still tend to check on my eggs around the 14 minute mark. I love a running poached egg, but this batch was for the kiddos, so a bit more well done was my goal!

Sheet Pan Poached Egg Breakfast Sandwich Toppings

If you’ve been around a while, you know my obsession for cheese can be out of control. These tasty sheet pan poached egg breakfast sandwiches are delicious with cheddar! Toss a few chives on there and it’s perfection!

If you like your breakfast sandwiches a bit spicy, you’ll love adding pepper jack cheese and a scoop of salsa. If you’re looking for additional breakfast recipe options with a little zest, try the smothered breakfast taquitos too!

If you’re into veggie omelettes, try sauteing garlic, mushrooms, and spinach while your sheet pan poached egg breakfast sandwiches are baking. Once they are finished, top your sandwiches with the veggies, add your favorite cheeses, and get ready to feast!
