Breakfast sandwich with Baja sauce will take your breakfast sandwich to the next level. Filled with egg, bacon, cheese, vegetables and sauce.
Some of my favorite mornings are the ones where I get to sit down with the family and enjoy a nice breakfast. These breakfast sandwiches are easy, relatively quick, and the whole family loves them. I pair them with a Baja sauce that really take the sandwich to another level.
The savory from the egg, cheese and bacon, paired with the freshness of spinach, tomato, and Baja sauce makes for an amazing breakfast.
