Breakfast Sandwich

A fried egg, melted cheddar, and bacon stacked inside a toasted English muffin, built to eat with one hand.

Where it comes from

Diners built this around the English muffin because it toasts fast and holds together, and fast food chains later standardized it into a breakfast-hours order.

What cooks argue about

The argument is over the egg: folded or basted so it stays soft inside the sandwich, or hard-cooked into a firm round that will not run when you bite in.

Versions

Nobody has published a breakfast sandwich here yet. When somebody cooks one from a video and publishes it, their version appears in this list, with a link back to the original.
