It’s back-to-school time, and I can smell it in the air.
I’ve said this before, but I feel it’s worth mentioning again…I get the “back-to-school” feels this time of year.
The air is just ever so slightly crisp in the mornings, kids are waiting at the bus stops, and it just smells like school when I walk outside. Call me crazy, but I’ve always felt like that, even though my school days are long gone.
But, with school being back in session comes some wonderful things to look forward to! Not that I’m wishing away summer by any means (trust me, I’m not!), but I am looking forward to cool, fall nights, pumpkin spice lattes (YES!!), apples, and everything pumpkin. When one season winds down, I try to look at the silver lining in the next, and fall just happens to be my favorite.
But, enough of that. It’s still summer!
So, I thought I would share a back-to-school recipe that works perfectly for both kids and adults. You know, just in case you need some back-to-work inspiration; or your kids need a new breakfast that’s ready in no time.
This Spinach, Bacon and Feta Breakfast Sandwich is an easy, make-ahead dish that’s full of fresh ingredients. Fluffy eggs are seasoned with creamy feta cheese, and then topped sautéed spinach and smoky bacon. This sandwich makes a delicious and hearty breakfast for those busy weekday mornings!
If you love breakfast sandwiches, then this was made for you. The fresh, sautéed spinach and feta cheese give this dish a creative touch over the regular kinds of breakfast sandwiches. And bacon, you just can’t forget about the bacon! It adds a nice crunch and smoky flavor, which complements the mild spinach and feta.
And then there’s the eggs. Want to know my secret for making these eggs the perfect size for a bagel sandwich? Prepare them in a mini pie pan and then bake them in the oven! It makes the eggs fluffy and just the right size to fit on top of bagels and English muffins.
And the best part about this Spinach, Bacon and Feta Breakfast Sandwich is that it’s so easy to customize, depending on your tastes. If you don’t like spinach, leave it out! Like sausage better? Swap it in for the bacon. See what I mean?
This breakfast sandwich is also great to prepare on the weekends and then refrigerate (or freeze) for an easy, grab-n-go option during the week.
So, beat those back-to-school or work blue with this fresh and tasty Spinach, Bacon and Feta Breakfast Sandwich. One bite and you’ll be coming back for more!

I’m having trouble thinking about saying goodbye to fresh berries, peaches, and tomatoes, but fall is my favorite season too! In the fall I think even more about make-ahead meals, and these breakfast sandwiches would fit so nicely into our morning routine! I love that they’re freezer friendly and the feta and spinach sound fantastic in those eggs!
Gayle says

Gayle, only you could make a bagel sandwich look THIS perfect. It’s absolutely incredible! I feel like a graphic artist drew this sando! 😉 I love that you created something yummy for both the kiddos and the adults. I mean, honestly, meal prep is SO much faster when you don’t have to prepare two different sets of food! Haha. Sharing your love of breakfast over in Maine… and looking forward to more breakfast treats from you! Have a great weekend, G. xo
