This Ultimate Loaded Breakfast Sandwich is not your average breakfast sandwich! We’re talking layers of flavor and texture: creamy avocado, spicy chipotle mayo, a perfectly cooked egg, savory sausage, crispy bacon, melty cheddar cheese, and a toasted English muffin (or your favorite bread). I love making these on weekends when I have a little extra time, but they’re also great for meal prepping and enjoying throughout the week. It’s a hearty, satisfying, and seriously delicious way to start the day!

How to Make a Loaded Breakfast Sandwich
Let me show you how to assemble this ultimate breakfast creation:
Prepare the Avocado Spread
- I mash the avocado in a bowl.
- Then mix it with the lemon juice and salt.
Make the Chipotle Mayo
- In a separate small bowl, I mix together the mayonnaise and chopped chipotle chili pepper in adobo.
Assemble the Sandwiches
- I spread the chipotle mayo on one half of each toasted English muffin.
- I spread the mashed avocado on the other half.
- Then, I layer the cheddar cheese, cooked sausage patty, crispy bacon, and a fried egg (or scrambled eggs, or an omelette – whatever you prefer!) on top of the avocado.
- I top with the other half of the English muffin.
Tips and Tricks for the BEST Breakfast Sandwich
Here are a few of my secrets for making the ultimate Loaded Breakfast Sandwich:
- Toast the English Muffins: Toasting the English muffins adds a nice crunch and prevents them from getting soggy.
- Use Ripe Avocado: Make sure your avocado is ripe but not overly mushy.
- Cook the Bacon Until Crispy: Crispy bacon adds a delicious texture and smoky flavor to the sandwich.
- Don’t Overcook the Egg: Cook the egg to your liking, but I prefer a runny yolk for extra richness.
How to Serve
This Loaded Breakfast Sandwich is a complete meal on its own, but here are a few serving ideas:
- Fresh Fruit: Serve with a side of fresh fruit, like berries or melon.
- Hash Browns: Add some crispy hash browns or home fries for a classic breakfast pairing.
- Coffee or Juice: Enjoy with your favorite breakfast beverage.
Make Ahead and Storage
You can prepare the individual components (cook the bacon and sausage, make the chipotle mayo) ahead of time and store them separately in the refrigerator. Assemble the sandwiches just before serving.
