These 2 Aldi Products Lead To A Flavor-Packed Breakfast Sandwich

Aldi is a great example of how affordable groceries can also taste good. There are a lot of different flavor possibilities behind its doors, including for perhaps the perfect breakfast on the go: an easy-to-make sandwich. And just two Aldi products can form the foundation of a sensational homemade breakfast sandwich.

Head to Aldi's bakery section for a six-count clamshell package of Specially Selected All Butter Croissants. Then, swing through the freezer aisle for 18-count Breakfast Best Pre-Cooked Original Sausage Patties (or the maple variety, if you prefer). At home, slice a croissant in half like a bun and slip a cooked sausage patty inside for a basic croissant breakfast sandwich.

The richness of both the ground pork and butter croissant mean the basic version of this sandwich can be enough, and affordably so. Breaking down the bulk cost of both components, each sandwich costs approximately $1.15 — less than half the price of a Sausage Egg & Cheese Croissan'wich from Burger King. Plus, this Aldi croissant breakfast sandwich can be made on demand and customized in more ways than Burger King ever could.

Nothing makes a sandwich into a breakfast sandwich like putting some kind of egg on it, and there's also an Aldi grocery product for that. Aldi's frozen egg bites are good enough to rival Starbucks, and, contrary to their diminutive name, they are big enough to sit on top of a sausage patty or take its place inside your croissant sandwich.

In addition to that easy egg hack, Aldi is a fantastic place to shop for cheese, and the dairy addition could help bring this whole sandwich together. Rich cheeses like cheddar and gouda could go well with the pork sausage and eggs, or for a more luxurious creaminess, try goat cheese. Aldi carries many well-priced options for all three — and many more varieties in their robust cheese selection. 

This final tip is for fans of capsaicin only: Don't forget the hot sauce. Aldi carries a Frank's RedHot copycat for a fraction of the price. Burman's Hot Sauce is available for $1.75 per 12-ounce bottle, compared to Walmart's $3.97 price for the same amount of the name brand. With reviews suggesting it has a similar flavor and heat as the real deal, fans of Frank's may as well try a bottle while they're at Aldi.
