Instructions
Making these Blackstone Breakfast Sandwiches is easier than you might think, and once you try them, you’ll be hooked! Here’s how you can make your perfect sandwich:
- Preheat the Griddle: Set your Blackstone griddle to medium heat and lightly oil the surface with a bit of butter or oil. This will ensure everything cooks smoothly and gets that perfect crispy finish.
- Cook the Meat: Place your bacon or sausage patties onto the griddle. Let them cook until they’re golden brown and crispy. Once done, move them to a warm zone on the griddle to keep them hot while you cook the rest of the ingredients.
- Fry the Eggs: Crack the eggs directly onto the griddle, seasoning with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Depending on your preference, cook them sunny-side up or flip them for over-easy eggs. If you want perfectly round eggs, use an egg ring mold! The griddle will cook them evenly, giving you a nice crispy edge while keeping the yolk tender.
- Toast the Bread: While the eggs are cooking, it’s time to toast your bread. Place the English muffins, bagels, or sandwich rolls on the griddle, buttered on the cut side. Toast them until they’re golden and crispy, adding an extra layer of crunch to your sandwich.
- Melt the Cheese: In the final minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on top of the eggs or meat to allow it to melt perfectly. You want that gooey, melty cheese to complement the crispy texture of the sandwich.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Now comes the fun part—assembly! Start with the bottom bun, add the crispy meat (bacon or sausage), place the egg with melted cheese on top, and add any extra toppings like avocado, tomato, or spinach. Finally, top it with the other half of the bun.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while it’s hot and fresh! These sandwiches are best enjoyed right off the griddle.

Variations
One of the best parts of making these Blackstone Breakfast Sandwiches is how versatile they are! Here are a few fun variations to try:
- Meatless: Swap out the bacon or sausage for veggie sausage, sautéed mushrooms, or hash browns for a vegetarian twist.
- Spicy: If you like a bit of heat, add sliced jalapeños, pepper jack cheese, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- Loaded: Add sautéed onions, bell peppers, or even a crispy hash brown patty to bulk up the sandwich and add extra texture.
- Sweet & Savory: For a unique flavor combination, use French toast-style bread or drizzle a little maple syrup over the sandwich for a sweet contrast.
- Low-Carb: If you’re watching your carbs, skip the bread altogether and use lettuce or a low-carb wrap instead of sandwich rolls.
Storage/Reheating
These breakfast sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers (or want to meal prep for the week), you can store and reheat them easily:
- Refrigerate: After assembling the sandwiches, wrap them tightly in foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: For longer storage, freeze the wrapped sandwiches in a zip-top bag for up to 1 month.
To reheat:
- From the fridge: Microwave for 30-60 seconds or reheat on the griddle over medium heat until warmed through.
- From frozen: Thaw in the fridge overnight, then heat on the griddle or in a toaster oven for the best texture.
FAQs
What’s the best bread for breakfast sandwiches?
English muffins and bagels are classic choices, but croissants and sandwich rolls are also great alternatives for a slightly different texture.
Can I cook everything at once on the Blackstone?
Yes! One of the best features of the Blackstone griddle is its large surface area, which allows you to cook the meat, eggs, and toast the bread all at the same time, saving you precious time and making cleanup easier.
How do I prevent eggs from spreading too much?
If you want perfectly round eggs for your sandwich, use an egg ring or crack the eggs into a small bowl first and gently pour them onto the griddle. This will help the eggs keep their shape while cooking.
What’s the best cheese to use?
American cheese is a classic for breakfast sandwiches because it melts beautifully, but cheddar, provolone, or pepper jack cheese are also excellent choices depending on your taste.
Can I make these in advance?
Yes, you can assemble the sandwiches ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze them. Just make sure to reheat them properly to maintain their crispy texture.
How hot should the griddle be?
Medium heat works best on the griddle. If the heat is too high, you risk burning the bread before the eggs cook through. Keep an eye on everything as it cooks!
Can I add vegetables?
Absolutely! Feel free to add sautéed spinach, tomatoes, onions, or peppers for a healthier, veggie-packed version of the sandwich.
What’s a good sauce for these sandwiches?
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding hot sauce, chipotle mayo, or even a smear of pesto. It adds a delicious kick to each bite.
Do I need to use oil or butter on the griddle?
Yes, a light layer of oil or butter prevents sticking and helps the bread toast to a golden brown. You don’t need too much—just enough to coat the surface.
Can I make these without meat?
Definitely! You can enjoy a simple egg and cheese sandwich, or use a plant-based meat alternative for a satisfying, vegetarian option.
