Warm Breakfast Sandwiches To Make In A Sandwich Griller

For most of us who make it a point to eat breakfast each morning, a sandwich isn’t typically something that is often opted for—given the notion that it requires many moving parts to put together. What’s so great about a sandwich—especially a breakfast sandwich—is that the filings can always be versatile and altered according to convenience and time constraints. With winter mornings demanding a warm breakfast to be on the cards, Usha’s Sandwich Griller offers the perfect foundation to make deliciously stuffed creations that are hearty, crisp on the outside, hold well together and keep one full for a long time. Experimenting with combinations that are classic or one’s own can be a great way to innovate through the week while also keeping breakfasts fresh and nutritious.

Named after being the brainchild of yesteryear pop star Elvis Presley—the sandwich is a fun take on the classic PB&J—without the jam. Containing chunky peanut butter layered with sliced bananas between slices of white bread, the sweet sandwich is a great option for breakfast on days when a treat is called for. Generously butter the outward-facing sides of the bread to ensure the perfect golden-brown crispness once grilled. Avoid using runny peanut butter since it melts faster and the chances of it seeping through the slices, into the griller are higher.

Bacon-Egg-Cheese

A timeless classic—soft cooked eggs, crisp bacon and melted cheese make the sandwich a sought-after favourite of all time. Switch up the type of bread being used to make the sandwich and pick from a variety—multigrain, sourdough, focaccia or even a sesame bagel! Pair the sandwich with a maple syrup-hot sauce combination for a sweet-spicy boost of flavour, or simply enjoy it as it is. For added flavour, cook the eggs in the rendered bacon fat to give them a savoury boost as well as ensuring that the richness of their texture is further accentuated.

The classic Italian salad also makes for a delicious sandwich version when slices of mozzarella, tomatoes and basil pesto are placed between a panini or sourdough bread. Swap the butter for olive oil to make the sandwich feel truly Italian in every way and serve it with extra pesto on the side. This is also a great way to use up the leftover condiment from dinner while transforming it into something truly rewarding. Layer the tomatoes over the cheese to prevent the bread from getting soggy while grilling. One could also swap the pesto for fresh basil, as per preference.

Mushroom & Caramelised Onion

An underrated combination of sweet caramelised onions and umami-loaded mushrooms, this sandwich filling is addictive in every sense of the way. Sauté the mushrooms beforehand with some chopped garlic, thyme or oregano, salt and pepper before cooling slightly and layering it inside the bread with a tablespoon of caramelised onions. What’s also special about this sandwich is that the type of mushroom can always be changed according to what’s available—experiment with oyster, cremini, button or even lion’s mane mushrooms.

Almond Butter-Jam

A variation of the kid-favourite peanut butter and jelly sandwich, creamy almond butter and homemade jam take centrestage in the sweet creation. Since strawberries are abundant this season, make a delicious jam to slather inside whole wheat bread on one side and a generous scoop of almond butter on the other side. Smear butter and grill the sandwich until it is toasty and develops a crunch. One could also swap the almond butter for cashew butter; if the almond butter is unsweetened, consider adding a drizzle of honey to enhance its smooth and creamy texture.

Pita Pocket

Break away from the conventional and switch out the bread for a fresh pita bread. Slice open the pocket to stuff it with scrambled eggs, feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, chopped spinach and some olives. Grill it ever so slightly for it to develop a noticeable crispness on the outside before adding a few drops of hot sauce or chilli oil on it and relishing it. Its portable character also means that this is a breakfast that is perfect for those on-the-go and barely have the time to enjoy their morning meal at leisure.
