11 Breakfast Sandwiches Worth The Trouble
Food worth rolling out of bed for
When you wake up, if you're like most of us, you're hungry. You've done your share of granola and yogurt for breakfast, and you're ready for a sandwich of some sort. Whether egg and cheese, or avocado toast. Whatever you prefer, breakfast sandwiches are a wonderful treat to enjoy with your first cup of coffee.
There's something about a sandwich - a whole meal in one package - that is irresistible. Add the morning convenience of being able to (sometimes) take it with you on your drive to work, and it's the perfect meal. There's a breakfast sandwich renaissance going on across the US, and here are some of our favorite DIY creations.

Charred Tomatoes with Fried Eggs on Garlic Toast
When tomatoes are cooked in a healthy fat like olive oil, it increases our absorption of the phytochemical lycopene, which may lower the risk of heart disease.
Avocado Toast
Avocado toast is one of the best foods on the planet. We first sampled it 15 years ago in San Diego, and it's finally become a national thing. Use thick slices of bread and smash on a fat layer of avocado, so you get contrast between the crunch of toast, the soft innards of the bread, and the creamy avocado. Flaky salt is key; express yourself with extra toppings.
