One Pan Breakfast Sandwich is a warm, satisfying breakfast that comes together in just one pan. The eggs cook right into the bread, creating a fluffy, protein-packed sandwich filled with melty cheddar and creamy avocado.

It’s quick to make, easy to customize, and perfect for busy mornings when everyone needs breakfast in a hurry.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • Butter or oil, for greasing the pan
  • 2 slices sandwich bread
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 2 slices cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, and salt until well combined.
  2. Heat a 9-inch nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, tilting the skillet so the eggs evenly cover the bottom.
  4. Place both slices of bread on top of the eggs. Press gently so each slice absorbs a little of the egg mixture.
  5. Cook until the eggs are fully set.
  6. Carefully flip the entire egg-and-bread layer so the bread is now on the bottom.
  7. Top one side with the sliced avocado and cheddar cheese.
  8. Fold the extra egg edges inward, then fold the sandwich in half.
  9. Cook for another 1–2 minutes per side until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
  10. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use a good pan: A nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron skillet helps prevent sticking and makes flipping much easier.
  • Wait before flipping: Let the eggs fully set before turning everything over to keep the sandwich intact.
  • Toast to preference: Cook the folded sandwich a little longer if a crispier, golden crust is preferred.
  • Customize the filling: This recipe works well with spinach, tomatoes, cooked bacon, turkey, or other favorite breakfast ingredients.
