HOW TO MAKE A SOURDOUGH BREAKFAST SANDWICH
Note: Please scroll to the full printable recipe card at the bottom for ingredient quantities and the method.
Prepare the Sauce: Mix the mayonnaise and ketchup in a small bowl.
Heat the Skillet: Start by heating your skillet over medium heat. This is key for getting that golden, crispy finish on your sourdough without burning it.
Scramble the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until well combined. Melt half of the butter in the skillet, then pour in the eggs. Stir continuously with a spatula to create soft, fluffy scrambled eggs. Once cooked, remove them from the skillet and set them aside. You can also choose to simply fry your egg.
Assemble the Sandwich: Make sure your skillet is clean and then melt the remaining butter. Place one slice of sourdough in the skillet and top it with
- shredded cheese,
- eggs,
- and more shredded cheese.
- If you're feeling fancy, this is the moment to add spinach, and tomatoes, for a healthier twist.
Grill the Sandwich: Spread the sauce mixture onto the second slice of sourdough. Close the sandwich and then butter the second slice of sourdough with butter on the outside. Grill the sandwich in the skillet over medium heat until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Flip carefully and repeat on the other side.
TOP TIP - PRESS DOWN FOR EVEN COOKING: Use a spatula or heavy lid from a pot to press down lightly on the sandwich while it’s grilling. This helps everything melt together and ensures even browning.
Serve and Enjoy: Slice your Sourdough Breakfast Sandwich in half, serve with the sauce on the side, and dig in!

📝 TIPS AND TRICKS FOR MAKING THE BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICH
Herbed Butter: Mix fresh or dried herbs like basil, parsley, or chives into your butter before spreading it on the bread this adds more flavor!
Add a Pinch of Spice: If you like a little heat, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes into the fried or scrambled eggs or mix a dash of hot sauce into the ketchup-mayo sauce.
Press for Even Cooking: Use a spatula or heavy lid of a pot to press down lightly on the sandwich while it’s frying. This helps everything melt together and ensures even browning.
Cut Diagonally: For a café-style presentation, slice the sandwich diagonally. It’s not just for looks—this cut also makes the sandwich easier to handle and dip into the sauce.
❓ FAQS
While sourdough adds a unique flavor and texture, you can substitute it with other sturdy bread like whole grain, rye, or even a crusty baguette. Just be sure the bread can hold up to the fillings without getting soggy.
If you don’t have a skillet, you can use a griddle or even a non-stick frying pan. An electric griddle works well too, especially if you’re making multiple sandwiches at once.
Yes! Thin slices of turkey, ham, or cooked bacon make excellent additions. For a heartier option, consider using a lean protein like grilled chicken or turkey sausage.
To make this sandwich vegan, use a plant-based butter spread and cheese, and substitute scrambled eggs with a tofu scramble or a chickpea flour omelet. You can also make the sauce with vegan mayonnaise and ketchup
Try using olive oil, avocado oil, or a dairy-free butter spread. Coconut oil can also be a great alternative.
MAKE-AHEAD, STORAGE AND REHEATING
MAKE-AHEAD
- Prep the Ingredients: You can scramble the eggs, slice the cheese, and prepare the sauce the night before. Store each component in separate airtight containers in the fridge.
- Assemble the Sandwich: If you’re short on time in the morning, assemble the sandwich the night before. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store it in the fridge. When you’re ready to eat, simply grill it in the skillet as directed.
STORAGE
- In the Fridge: If you have leftover sandwiches, wrap them in foil or place them in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for up to 1 day.
REHEATING
- Skillet Method: For the best results, reheat the sandwich in a skillet over medium heat. This will bring back the crispiness of the bread and melt the cheese evenly. Heat for about 3-5 minutes on each side until the sandwich is hot and crispy.
- Microwave: If you’re in a hurry, you can reheat the sandwich in the microwave.
