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!

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?

  4. I just LOVE that cooler , crisp feel that we get with Fall weather ! Plus, all the clothes, scents and flavours that go along with it :) I love a good breakfast sandwich and that mini pie pan idea for cooking the eggs is just brilliant! This is a fantastic combo; I bet a version with avocado would be delicious too :) Pinned! Have a fantastic weekend, my friend!

  13. 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!

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.
