Dish Count :: 1 Skillet, 1 Baking Sheet, Foil Some Saturday nights you have too much fun. Well, not too much – you just have fun. But Sunday mornings are when things can get a little hairy, with a couple of glasses of bubbles may being your undoing. Hangovers call for four things – coffee, chocolate cookies, Excedrine, and bad-for-you breakfast sandwiches.
I’m a sweet and savory lover – if there is a sweet paired with something salty and savory I will be all over it like a lion over a downed zebra. Okay, it’s too early Monday for that visual. White on rice? Huck on a puppy treat? Me and any celebrity site with news of Prince Harry, Princess Kate, or baby prince George? Yeah, that’s probably a little better this time in the morning.
Well, I’ve had this breakfast sandwich on my list of Must Make’s for a while. I’ve told you before that I work in construction and project management – working on a great project for Boeing, where we are building the buildings that build the planes! It’s pretty neato burrito. But living in a construction trailer can some times leave something to be desired. The one thing we do have going for us? A food truck parked on site every day for breakfast and lunch.
The guys call it the Gut Truck, and it has a little bit of everything! One of the things they have is the Texas Toast breakfast sandwich packed with everything you see here. But since I’m such a sucker for sweet and savory – I had to switch out the Texas toast for some cinnamon swirl bread for that sweet twist.
So if you’re waking up this morning with a need for a little extra get up and go – this is just the ticket. And if your’e still recovering from your weekend – this will cure what ails ya, whether it’s a case of the Mondays, or just a little too much fun.
And don’t forget the extra maple syrup if you’re looking for an extra saucy sammich – or something just to amp up the sweet and savory factor.

I am a sweet/savory lover to the core, so the cinnamon bread switcheroo is pure brilliance in my book! I want the gut truck to park outside my house! Or better yet, you in my kitchen 🙂
This is what I want to start every weekend! Amazing 🙂
GAH! What I wouldn’t give to have this right now!! DELISH!!
I am such a sweet & savory girl. And I love the lion analogy. Haha! This sandwich would cure my Monday blues right about now!
Oh my gosh, yes. Just yes. Perfect for the morning after I’ve accidentally had too many margaritas. Those darn things are so easy to lose count of…
Now if only someone would come over and make this for me!
Yeah, those margaritas can definitely get the better of you! But this is here to save the day!
I’m a sweet and savory lover too-so, this is right up my alley!
Yes, sweet and savory is a must!!
If only I had this for breakfast this morning! It looks amazing.
Holy moly yes, you need this for sure!!
Greatest breakfast sandwich EVER!
High five to that!!
Umm.. I want to work outside the Gut Truck!! My husband is obsessed with cinnamon swirl!
That Gut Truck is our salvation from boring turkey sandwiches and our demise!! hahah I hope the hub likes these!!
I may or may not have downed an entire bottle of bubbly with my girlfriend Saturday (after a few other cocktails) while simultaneously eating McDonald’s cheeseburgers. Let’s just say I wasn’t feeling my best come Sunday morning. Totally could have used one of these! Plus sweet and savory is the best combo at breakfast time!
High five for Saturday night bubbles and Sunday morning headaches. Cheers, girl!!
I am ALLLLLL over this, homegirl. Hashbrowns and bacon and eggs on cinnamon swirl bread? This has ‘genius’ written all over it. LOVE.
