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.
Nobody has published a breakfast sandwich recipe yet. The page stays out of search until one exists, which is the rule for every thin page here.
