This IN THE KITCHEN tip actually takes place: IN THE GAS STATION.

I’ve had a lot of breakfast sandwiches in my day- from restaurants, grab-and-go convenience stores, and lots of them simply made at home.

Hands down, this one is THE BEST. I’m naming it “The McKenna”. Kwik Trip doesn’t know it yet so if you go in and ask for one, they might give you a strange look. But I bet it would be a best seller!

At Kwik Trip, you will find a delightful pre-made breakfast sandwich on their Hot Spot and then I always jazz it up a bit with two more ingredients to make it the best sandwich you’ll ever eat.

Honestly, on its own, the Kwik Trip Western Omelette Croissant with Cheese is great. A buttery croissant holds an omelette style egg with little peppers cooked right inside and topped with a slice of cheese.

But here’s how it to make “The McKenna”. If you time it right when the breakfast sandwiches are still being served and the condiment salad bar is stocked and ready to go for the lunch sandwiches, you can add Chipotle sauce (it’ll be in a squeeze bottle) and sauerkraut.

Weird combo, right? Oh, my friend, it’s not weird at all! It’s soooo good!

It’s what breakfast sandwich dreams are made of. Try one! If you love a little zing and live for sauerkraut and deliciousness, you will love my favorite sandwich. The flavor explosion is next level.

My husband will be vising this week and I told him we’re having a big Kwik Trip breakfast date for these sandwiches. Unfortunately, he still lives in Ohio and they don’t have Kwik Trips there so what a treat it will be. I can’t wait for him to try “The McKenna”….and you, too!

Let me know how much you love it when you do!

Laura McKenna grew up in Ohio and got her first job in radio in La Crosse in 2005. She packed up her stuff, made the move, and has been in Wisconsin ever since! Her favorite season is winter but she loves to spend all summer in her vegetable garden. When she isn't in her pink kitchen cooking up vegetarian recipes, more than likely she's taking bubble baths, reading mystery novels (sometimes while in a bubble bath), cheering for THEE Ohio State Buckeyes, or officiating weddings! She married her best friend from college last year but they still don't live in the same house yet. Laura's favorite way to spend a Friday night is watching Dateline with her cat (Phil Dawson) on her lap. She's thrilled to be back keeping you company during the workday on 105-7 CFW!
