Hi friends!
Just popping in to share another go-to meal with you guys. This one is seriously too easy to require a recipe…but it’s one of my favs so I wanted to share it with you!
These sandwiches are so easy to pair with some veggies and fries for a quick, healthy meal!
Here’s my favorite way to make them:
Start by “frying” the eggs. Slice some homemade bread. (I suppose store bought will do…but homemade is better!) Slather on some hummus. Add the eggs. Top with a slice of cheese, red pepper strips and avocado slices. Spread a little butter on the bread and put it on a panini press/George Foreman grill. When it’s golden brown, take it out and eat it!
Side note- if you eat meat, you MUST TRY THIS: Make the same sandwich, minus the hummus, but add pulled pork. I’m telling you. BEST.SANDWICH,EVER. Seriously. Try it. They make that sandwich at one of the sandwich shops downtown and it is my favorite sandwich of all time.
If you don’t eat meat, try just adding a little bbq sauce to your next egg sandwich. Deeeeeelish!
Best thing about these sandwiches?
They’re perfect for breakfast, lunch OR dinner!
So tell me, what’s your all-time favorite sandwich?
Enjoy!

Fantastic idea. I need to do this ASAP. But first, a panini press/George Foreman grill!
Lindsay says
get a George. it’s cheaper 🙂
ErinK. says
You can a super cheap George at Goodwill or a resale shop. I got a large one with removable/dishwasher safe plates for $10!
Miz says
my daughter could LIVE on these too…if I let her 🙂
Linz @ Itz Linz says
I LOVE EGG SANDWICHES!! They are definitely a go-to meal over here, too!! And add avocado?? Yes, please!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
Yum! I do egg sandwiches, but not quite as fancy as these! And I love the idea of adding pulled pork!
Lindsay says
omg it’s so good!!!
Gina (The Candid RD) says
Eggs are on our dinner plate 2 out of 7 days of the week (if not more). I’m always looking for new ways to use eggs, so thanks for this recipe idea! I have been doing dipping eggs a lot, with WW toast and a side of beans and broccoli. It’s getting old, so this might have to be next!
Lindsay says
awesome! enjoy!
Michelle (Better with Berries) says
LOVE egg sandwiches! They are probably my favorite – they became my fav in college because eggs are so cheap and stayed my fav because they’re delicious 🙂 Is there a favorite recipe for the homemade bread you like to use?
Lindsay says
i’m posting a recipe on thursday for one i made with yogurt in it!!!
lindsay says
oh ya!! eeewy goooey goodness! LOVE EGG sandwiches with a running yolk too! Delish lindz!
Lindsay says
you’re braver than me! i’m afraid of the runny yolk 🙂
Jess says
I have been REALLY into eggs lately — and have made almost the same sandwich as you before but not with the hummus (usually laughing cow cheese and avocado) — the hummus must MAKE the sandwich huh?? YUMMMMMM.
Lindsay says
i’ve gotta try the laughing cow cheese on there!
Amy @Ahealtheeater says
I love egg sandwiches too! I will have to try it this way! I also really like making a “grilled cheese” with tomato, mozzarella, and pesto!
Lindsay says
yes!!! pesto grilled cheese is the best!
christa says
egg sandwiches one of my fave too
Molly @ A Fresh Start For Molly says
Egg sandwiches are definitely my favourite…followed closely by a caprese sandwich!
Lindsay says
omg LOVE caprese!
Cassandra says
This is seriously my go to meal as well! It’s so quick and eggs are so filling and healthy. Mine is always so simply with an egg and sometimes a little wedge of laughing cow, this one sounds great though! I’ve never thought of using hummus and avocados but is looks delicious!
Lindsay says
avocado and egg is SUCH a good combo!
sarah @ sarah learns says
all-time favorite sandwich? grilled portobello with goat cheese, pesto, and roasted red peppers! mmm. this one looks pretty tasty too though! 🙂
Lindsay says
ohhh man, that sounds delicious!
Jo @ LivingMintGreen says
Egg sandwiches are one of my fave things in life – they’re SO versatile. My latest breakfast crazy is a toasted fried egg sandwich with dijon mustard & apricot jam. Or an open faced (knife & fork) egg sani with hummus, spinach, tomato, avocado, egg and melted cheese. YUUUM 🙂
Athena R says
I love a good egg sandwich, but I also love grilled cheese sandwiches. One of my favorites is a grilled provolone and tomato sandwich…yum!
Tiff @ Love Sweat and Beers says
Eggs are great for go-to meals. I like egg sandwiches and my Chinese take-in for meals, and I sometimes bring hard boiled eggs for work snacks.
Rana says
looks yummy!! we eat a lot of foods with egg and egg whites – I love a plain ol’ boiled egg sandwiches too…. 🙂 Thanks for all the awesome recipes- keep them coming!!
Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries says
yummm! i’ve been ALL about panini sandwiches these days. this combo sounds amazing. i make egg-pepperjack-avocado sandwiches pretty regularly, but i never thought to add hummus! that sounds amazing.
sarah k @ the pajama chef says
i love the pulled pork idea!
Lindsey says
Love these sandwiches! I add in turkey bacon sometimes too. And I agree the homemade bread is a must 🙂
Min says
Two slices of bread slathered with peanut butter and nutella + panini grill= perfection every time.
Brittany @ GOtheXtraMile says
This looks so. good. I love egg sandwiches!
Yellow Haired Girl says
Egg sandwiches are always a go to for me. I just made an egg wrap for supper last night!
Jolynn @ Lift Pray Love says
I l.o.v.e. egg sammies with a tbsp of nonfat cream cheese and a tbsp of sugar free strawberry jelly! Never would have thought to put those ingredients on there… Definite must try!
Kelly @ No Sugar Sweet Life says
You just made… the perfect sandwich. YUMMMMMMMMMMM!!! I love eggs, love hummus, love red peppers, LOVE pepper jack cheese, did I miss anything?!?! Thanks for sharing this go-to meal!
jobo says
I LOVE egg sandwiches! I add laughing cow cheese, spinach and ham, and sometimes avocado, add to panini and make it nice and toasty! Pulled pork sounds freaking unreal!
Bianca @ Confessions of a Chocoholic says
Oooh egg and hummus is a great idea! I love sandwiches so it’s tough to pick a favorite – it’ll have to a be a toss up between PB&J or grilled cheese!
Maureen says
I LOVE egg sandwiches! They are so delicious AND economical! 🙂
Whitney @ Whit Likes Fit says
This dinner looks great! We do grilled cheese and tomato soup a lot but I love how you have sweet potatoes and green beans. This is going onto next week’s meals for sure.
Janice says
That looks so good. I can’t wait for the computer that lets you grab the food out of the screen!
Lisa says
I love egg sandwiches, they are so simple. But sometimes not the best for work/school because eggs can get a little smelly haha. I love egg and avocado together. Best thing.
[email protected] says
i seriously love egg anything…looks so good!! my eggs usually dont look that fancy haha
PavementRunner says
Eggs and pulled pork (or carnitas) is seriosuly the best ever. I’ve never had it in a sandwich, but I have eaten in the AM for breakfast. Super yummy.
Heather Montgomery says
hands down, grilled cheese!
Alex @ Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Foodiness says
Eggs, avocado and pulled pork? All fantastic separately, never though of putting them together. Hmmm…Must. Find. Pulled. Pork.
Angela @ Health, Happiness & Harmony says
I love chicken caprese paninis! Grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil on whole wheat Italian panella. Yum!
Talia @ Bite Size Wellness says
I love the morning star chick patties with an ovre easy egg on top. You should try it!
Matt @ The Athlete's Plate says
You know I’m all about the egg sandwiches 🙂
Emily Butler @EmilysHomestead says
egg sandwiches are great, and so easy! i totally need panini maker!
Brittany @ Delights and Delectables says
yumm… eggs with hummus and avocado. I die. I’m breaking out the panini maker for this!
Val says
One of my favorite subjects! How about the huevos rancheros sandwich? Melt some low-fat cheddar or jack on 1 slice of toast and spread some refried beans on another slice of toast. Scramble one egg with a spoonful salsa and then top it with some slices of avocado…. ahhmazing.
Michelle @ Blogitness says
These looks so good, I love the idea of adding pulled pork!
Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen says
Looks SO delicious…and creamy avocado on toaste bread? Yes please!
Jaren@KiwiFitBlog says
I haven’t brought myself to trying any kind of egg sandwich besides a breakfast sandwich yet. Just seems weird. But that does look yummy!
Leonor @FoodFaithFitness says
I try not to eat too much bread. I would probably try an open faced egg sandwich. I think tomato, avocado and bacon would be yummy!
Charise says
I am a big egg sandwich girl, too! In the summer, my fave sandwich is an avocado BLT. With or without a runny fried egg on top. 😉
Rene@gold coast personal trainers says
What we eat is what we are. This days when everything seems to be made so fast, in order to keep healthy we need to eat things that are nutritious, and egg sandwich is what I call brilliant, delicious and great in order to keep up with a healthy diet. Great article I can’t wait to prepare tomorrow.
