Who needs fast food when you can make your own low carb and keto McMuffin Sausage and Egg Breakfast Sandwich right at home. You won't even miss the english muffin... It's that GOOD!
Bunless keto breakfast sandwiches
I certainly wasn't the first person to make something like this Keto McMuffin Sausage and Egg Breakfast Sandwich and I definitely won't be the last. I first saw a variation of this a few years ago on Nom Nom Paleo. Every time I would see it pop up in my newsfeed or on Pinterest, I always told myself I was going to make something similar, but I just never got around to it... until now.
The best part of these keto breakfast sandwiches? egg buns.
When I was a kid and I was just starting to learn how to cook, one of the very first things I learned was how to fry an egg. From there, I became obsessed with eating fried egg sandwiches, slathered in an obscene amount of mayonnaise. Don't even get me started on my love of mayo!
I always left the yolk runny and that first bite into a mayo covered, ooey gooey yolk, sandwiched between two soft pieces of white bread was pretty much childhood bliss. Every. Time.
I took that childhood memory of that first delicious bite and captured it in this Keto McMuffin recipe. I slathered each cooked egg with mayo just like I would have that white bread when I was a child. So good! Next time I make this, I think I will leave the yolks runny just for old times sake.
Just try this Keto McMuffin Sausage and Egg Breakfast Sandwich for yourself and you will see what I mean. For this recipe I used a store bought sausage, but I included a link to my Maple Chicken Breakfast Sausage in the recipe also.

- Yield: Makes 1 Serving 1x
Description
NOTE To make these perfectly round shaped eggs, I cooked the eggs in the ring of a mason jar lid. Super easy and it was something I already had around the house. You can also get silicone egg molds to do the trick. Pick some up here
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 sausage patties, cooked (find my recipe here)
- 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- a few slices of avocado
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place lightly oiled mason jar rings or silicone egg molds into the pan.
- Crack the eggs into the rings and use a fork to break the yolks and gently whisk. Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes or until eggs are cooked through. Remove the eggs from the rings.
- Place one of the eggs on a plate and top it with half of the mayonnaise. Top the egg with one of the sausage patties.
- Top the sausage patty with a slice of cheese and avocado.
- Put the second sausage patty on top of the avocado and top it with the remaining cheese.
- Spread the remaining mayonnaise on the second cooked egg and put it on top of the cheese.
- Serve and enjoy!

If you want to reduce the calories and the fat content, you can omit the mayonnaise and skip the butter. But like I said above, I LOVE MAYO!! Enjoy!

Holy moly are these a game changer on your keto diet. I needed more variety for my breakfast and this was the perfect addition. Can switch up the toppings easily. I made a batch for the week and have been adding different toppings such as avocado, tomato, spinach and jalapenos. Next I am going to see if they freeze well! Thanks so much for this awesome recipe.

I was wondering how the freezing process went for you with these? If you could update I would appreciate it.

I’ve frozen egg cups without a problem. I’d just let it cool completely then wrap them up in wax paper and foil. I would split it in half and wrap each up in a paper towel to reheat in the micro.

Absolutely Delicious - I did use bought patties - need to watch sugar in those.
I did spot this in your latest book (which I borrowed from my library)
The photos and recipes are really great, good instructions.
hope to purchse soon. Thanks

I've been looking for low carb "bread" options. This gives me an option for breakfast sandwiches. Thanks for sharing!
Michellle says
I just had this for breakfast with chorizo and smoked gouda. I added green onions, lettuce, sriracha, and nutritional yeast. It was so delicious and filling...not to mention beautiful. Thank you for the great idea!
Melissa Griffiths says
I love the mason jar ring idea for creating perfect circular eggs! This looks delicious, and my that avocado looks so nice. 🙂

What bread did you use since there is no mention of it in the recipe?

There is no bread in this recipe or in the photos.

This is such a good idea, I'll need to try this! I have made my own before but I did use muffins, the eggs are a great alternative.

This is going to save my life - easy breakfast for one, coming up!
I'm wondering... would they freeze well?
Tess Alexander-Bono says
That's what I'm wondering too! Or if you could cook it and keep each piece separate and then build as you go for the week. Sounds so good!
