These easy gluten-free breakfast sandwiches are the perfect make ahead-of-time, on-the-go breakfasts the whole family will love.

Want a delicious gluten-free breakfast that can be eaten at home or on the go for busy mornings? Then you need to make a batch of these gluten-free breakfast sandwiches.

These gluten-free sandwiches are actually the brainchild of my not always gluten-free husband. He likes to grab breakfast at the gas station near our house on busy mornings. He will usually grab a breakfast burrito or one of their English muffin sandwiches. Then one day, he saw a breakfast sandwich made with pancakes, and he just about lost his mind.

Needless to say, I heard all about this sandwich that he thought was genius, and I knew I had to make it gluten-free. That is how I started making these pancakewiches, as he calls them. Or I say, the most delicious gluten-free breakfast sandwiches there are.

Gluten-free pancakes made into breakfast sandwiches with egg, sausage, bacon and cheese on plates. They are next to some fresh blueberries, maple syrup and a cup of orange juice.

Are breakfast sandwiches gluten-free?

A few companies make gluten-free breakfast sandwiches these days, but most are really small and come in minimal quantities. When you are trying to get breakfast ready for the family for a week, that doesn't last long, and it gets expensive really fast.

That's why I like to make my own gluten-free breakfast sandwiches. Trust me, they are super easy to do, and you'll have a quick gluten-free breakfast ready in no time for busy mornings.

Ingredients.

To make gluten-free breakfast sandwiches, you just need a few ingredients and a little prep.

  • Gluten-free Pancakes - You can use whatever recipe you prefer.
  • Eggs
  • Bacon, Sausage, Ham - You can use your favorite gluten-free breakfast meat or do a combination.
  • Cheese - My husband loves these breakfast sandwiches with a slice of melty cheese, but you can leave it off if you want these for a gluten-free, dairy-free breakfast.
  • Syrup (optional) - My kids love to dunk these gluten-free breakfast sandwiches in syrup when they eat them at home. But they are still totally delicious without that.

Gluten-free breakfast meats.

Just like most breakfast places, you can usually pick between a few different meat options. I've made these with bacon, Canadian bacon (I use Applegate brand), and even breakfast sausage. For breakfast sausage, I'll either make my own gluten-free breakfast sausage, or I'll cheat and use Jimmy dean. Yes, Jimmy Dean's breakfast sausage is labeled gluten-free.

Always double check your packaging to ensure the breakfast meat you use is gluten-free.

Use what you like. All of them are entirely delicious! My husband prefers them with breakfast sausage, so that's usually what I make them with.

Tips and tricks.

To make the assembly easier, I like to do a few things. I mean, who wants to shape several breakfast sandwiches by hand?

Baking the eggs: I like to make my eggs as if I am going to make some of my easy omelets,

  1. Whisk the eggs, milk, and spices together in a bowl.
  2. Pour the eggs into a greased and lined baking dish.
  3. Bake the eggs in a 375-degree oven. The eggs usually take about 15 minutes or so just until the eggs are set.
  4. Then I will slice the eggs into nine squares that fit easily onto the gluten-free breakfast sandwich.

Breakfast Sausage: Just like with the eggs, I will do the same with breakfast sausage.

  1. I will mix a batch of the meat, place it between two parchment papers, and roll it into a large rectangle.
  2. Place the flat sausage onto a baking sheet, and remove the top layer of parchment.
  3. Bake the sausage in a 375-degree oven for about 20 minutes or until the sausage is cooked through.

I have noticed that the shape shrinks slightly, so I always go it somewhat bigger than I think I want. Then just like the eggs, I will cut them up, and they are ready to assemble.

Bacon: I prefer to cook my bacon in the oven, but you can easily cook it however you choose.

How to make gluten-free breakfast sandwiches.

  1. Prepare all your ingredients.
  2. Take one pancake and place it on a plate.
  3. Place a piece of egg on top of one pancake.
  4. Top the eggs with your meat of choice.
  5. Add the cheese on top of the meat.
  6. Put another pancake on top to complete the sandwich.
  7. Dip it in syrup or a sweet addition if desired, and enjoy!

Make ahead and storing.

I usually make a few batches of these and store them in the freezer for a quick breakfast on busy mornings.

To Make Ahead of Time:

  1. Assemble the gluten-free sandwich.
  2. Wrap it in parchment paper.
  3. Place the assembled breakfast sandwiches into a Ziploc bag or freezer-safe container.
  4. Store these gluten-free breakfast sandwiches in the fridge for 3-5 days, or store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.

When you are ready to eat them:

  1. Remove the sandwich from the freezer and leave it in the parchment paper.
  2. Place the breakfast sandwich on a plate and microwave it in 30-second increments until the desired temperature is reached.
  • I usually warm them for about a minute and a half in our microwave, straight out of the freezer.
  • You can also let them defrost in the fridge overnight. If you are cooking them not from frozen, they usually only take 30-45 seconds to warm up.

Don't let the name breakfast sandwich fool you; I will often find my kids eating one for an afternoon snack, haha. Thankfully it is super easy to make a double or triple batch to have more on hand for when their cravings hit.
