Avocado & Veggie Breakfast Sandwiches
Scrambled eggs cooked with sautéed fresh veggies combined with melted cheese and ripe, creamy avocado on a toasted bagel makes Avocado & Veggie Breakfast Sandwiches the ultimate vegetarian breakfast sandwich!
When I’m looking for a healthy vegetarian breakfast, I’ll either have a smoothie, peanut butter toast, Avocado Toast with Harissa Scrambled Eggs, or yogurt with granola and berries.
But there are those days where I want a heartier, more filling breakfast, and that’s where Avocado & Veggie Breakfast Sandwiches come in.
Made with fresh veggies, eggs, cheese, avocado, and a toasted bagel, this beautiful mess of a sandwich is one glorious bite of cheesy, creamy, chewy bite after another. It checks ALL my hearty breakfast boxes!
Ingredients needed to make this recipe (scroll down to recipe card for complete recipe):
- Bagel
- Fresh, quick-cooking veggies (e.g., spinach, kale, tomato, shallot, zucchini)
- Avocado
- Cheese
- Egg mixture (egg, milk, spices)
- Butter or olive oil
While definitely amazing for breakfast, these filling bagel sandwiches also make great lunches if, like me, you’re at home with your kids for virtual school this year!
Just sauté the veggies in a nonstick skillet with a little bit of butter or olive oil until tender.
Once softened, add your eggs mixture to the veggies and cook to your desired doneness.
Push the scrambled egg mixture into a pile that will fit on your sandwich (toast or bagel) and top with cheese.
While the cheese melts, toast your bread or bagel, then add your avocado to it. Add your scrambled egg/veggie mixture to the sandwich and that’s it!

NOTES:
- Bagels are great for this sandwich because they’re thicker and heartier than toasted bread, but a good sourdough would be a nice alternative.
- I used spinach, tomato, and shallot in my veggie mixture because I think they go great with eggs, but feel free to use what you have. Keep in mind, the harder your veggie, the longer it’s going to need to cook.
