The perfect breakfast sandwich for me stretches the definition of “sandwich” a bit because it’s the McDonald’s sausage burrito. Eggs, sausage pellets, a few flakes of peppers and onions, and American cheese wrapped up in a tortilla. I could eat a dozen in one sitting. Then go throw up and eat 6 more.
@cinoclav Big Pork used an overreaching federal government in an attempt to destroy a family business by forcing Taylor to drop the word “ham” from their name. If not for that intervention, Taylor Ham would be the breakfast meat of the USA, and likely the world. I’ll never surrender to an overbearing government that is bought by Big Pork.
@hchavers pro tip: make your pancake extra thick using an egg ring, then cut it in half. that way you can spread pb on the crumbly inside rather than the smooth outside.
@hchavers I do my pancake sandwich with 2 overeasy eggs and 3-4 strips of bacon between two large cakes. Basically, the diner breakfast special stacked together.
This from the guy who just bought 12# of bacon from the local producer to stock up for the winter while they are closed and is considering going back tomorrow for more.
@billyrogers I like to make my own version of the Super Sonic Breakfast Burrito, similar to this plus Jalapeños and tots. No beans or rice, tho. Lots of salsa, of course!
The original Egg McMuffin. Burger King made a copy of it for a while, but BK did not toast the muffin. If BK had toasted the muffin, I would have considered it as good, a bit different but good.
@ojohn I’m a big fan of the sausage and egg McMuffin. a close second is the steak and egg bagel. BK had this amazing slider like thing called the Breakfast Buddy in the 90s. It was a doughy dinner roll with scrambled egg, cheese, and either ham or sausage. Most addicting thing in the world.
I love a good breakfast burrito or breakfast pizza. If you have never had Casey’s General Store breakfast pizza, you are missing out. (shameless plug) And if you have had it, thank you for the job security, because I work in the distribution center.
Breakfast burritos should never come from a fast food restaurant, though.
@msklzannie I happened to notice you were from small town Iowa. Des Moines, here. Just curious where you are from. Send me a private message, if you would rather.
Two eggs and cheese on a soft bread roll as prepared in an old-school NYC deli, ideally with Tabasco sauce. Proper way to order: “C’n I get a egg and cheese on a roll wid hot sauce?”
There is a serious lack of a biscuit option in this poll. Country ham on a nice, buttery biscuit is a great breakfast sandwich.
As far as fast food options, the Hardee’s Frisco Breakfast sandwich is my #1 pick with the McGriddle being my second choice. I don’t eat breakfast very often anyway but if I do eat breakfast at a shop, it is one of those two.
Go to Arby’s. Buy a Meat Mountain sandwich (sandwich with some of every meat they sell) and request they add cheddar. Take it home, fry an egg sunny side up, insert fried egg on top of meat beneath top bun.
Until they discontinued it in my local market, the Burger King french toast breakfast sammich was the shiz. Choice of bacon, sausage or ham, folded egg, slice of cheese between two slices of maple infused french toast. SO delicious. And it was on the 2 for $4 menu to boot.
If you wanna allow open-faced, Eggs Benedict and similar rate high for me. Esp if I eat them outdoors while seated at a patio table with friends at some classy place in the Big Easy.
@DocJRoberts Except whatever flavor/sweetener they use in the pancakes, you can smell on your fingers for hours afterwards even if you wash up repeatedly…
There’s YouTube chef, SamTheCookingGuy that does a mean brekkie sammich. It looks easy and good so the jury’s out until I can try it. McGriddles FTW because breakfast abomination in a wrapper. Best Breskfast Sammich
@readnj Expat Hawthorne boy here - I haven’t had Taylor Ham in years. Might have to get my family back east to send me some, now that you’ve got me hungry for it again.
Bacon, eggs over easy, and dill pickle with mayonnaise and hot sauce (El Yucateco red is my go-to) on seeded rye. It can get messy, so don’t eat it on the go.
Second place: bacon, scrambled eggs, and cream cheese on pumpernickel. Much more portable. My grandma used to make it when I was a kid.
Biscuit, sausage patty, scrambled egg and cheddar cheese.
All the above! And probably most of the ones in the comments.
One that is made for me (as opposed to by me). I’m too damn tired and cranky in the morning to make my own damn breakfast sandwich…
Whoever voted avocado on a breakfast sandwich is a tool.
Not my opinion, just a damn fact.
@hems79
“Stanley, like the power drill.”

@hems79 ah fuck off. It’s not our fault you can’t afford the finer things.
@carl669 add another one to the count
@hems79 For some of us who happen to be descended from Mexicans, avocado is its own food group.

@cpierce sausage pellets? What part of the pig do the pellets come from?
@cpierce Oh come on. The Super Sonic breakfast burrito is way better than McDonald’s
@cpierce @smyle Oh come on. The Burger King Eggnormous burrito blows away Sonic and McDonalds.
@cpierce I thought those were rabbit poo!
@cpierce @therealjrn I don’t think we want to know where sausage pellets come from.
@cpierce @ruouttaurmind j wouldn’t know. I’ve gotten physically I’ll every time I’ve gone to BK. I haven’t been to a Burger King in 20+ years
@cpierce @ruouttaurmind @smyle when you say “blows away”, is that something that happens after you eat it?
@cpierce @therealjrn
Which part of the beef is the angus?
@blaineg @cpierce
@cpierce @therealjrn Seems the competition got all upset over that ad for some reason.
Ah, there it is.
https://money.cnn.com/2017/02/03/news/kfile-remove-the-g-from-angus/index.html
And if you can’t win the burger wars, go into politics.
toasted onion bagel, cream cheese, runny fried egg (or two) chopped bacon, melted cheddar, more cream cheese on the other side.
-or-
toasted onion bagel, cream cheese, shaved red onion, fresh tomato, and lox.
@sadalex you forgot the capers on the bagel with lox
Hard roll, Taylor brand pork roll, fried egg, cheese. With or without ketchup, depending on my mood.
If you’re not from NJ, you wouldn’t understand.
@OutbackJon (Gratuitous snide remark about New Jersey goes here.)
@2many2no I left, and will never move back. But I can get Taylor Pork Roll shipped.
@OutbackJon Thank you for not calling it Taylor Ham. I hate those people.
@cinoclav Taylor Ham is the original name, though.
@OutbackJon But it hasn’t been called that since 1906. Pretty sure it’s time for those Taylor Ham people to get with the program.
@cinoclav Big Pork used an overreaching federal government in an attempt to destroy a family business by forcing Taylor to drop the word “ham” from their name. If not for that intervention, Taylor Ham would be the breakfast meat of the USA, and likely the world. I’ll never surrender to an overbearing government that is bought by Big Pork.
Two pancakes with peanut butter, maple syrup, and crispy bacon in between. If the bacon is cooked right, it does stay crispy.
@hchavers pro tip: make your pancake extra thick using an egg ring, then cut it in half. that way you can spread pb on the crumbly inside rather than the smooth outside.
@hchavers I do my pancake sandwich with 2 overeasy eggs and 3-4 strips of bacon between two large cakes. Basically, the diner breakfast special stacked together.
@hchavers The (fake I’m sure) maple syrup flavored sandwich is about the only thing I’ll go to McDonalds for.
English muffin, 2 strips bacon, poached or sunny egg, shredded cheddar cheese melted on.
Y’all are muthafucking making me want to go out to Jack Rabbit Slim’s and get a muthafucking sammich.
Bacon, bacon, bacon, what was the question again?
@mehcuda67 do you need anything else?
This from the guy who just bought 12# of bacon from the local producer to stock up for the winter while they are closed and is considering going back tomorrow for more.
@mehcuda67 @ybmuG Don’t consider, just go.
That’s only enough for a month, less if anybody comes over to eat.
@ybmuG my father-in-law makes three pounds every Sunday. So yeah, I’m thinking 12# is not stocking up for long.
@mehcuda67 Is this the point where a Monty Python Spam comment is appropriate?
@katbyter at $8+ per pound, we have to ration a bit.
Tortilla, scrambled eggs, chopped sausage, shredded cheese, maybe beans and or rice if available, and salsa.
@billyrogers I’d choose chorizo over the sausage any day.
@billyrogers I like to make my own version of the Super Sonic Breakfast Burrito, similar to this plus Jalapeños and tots. No beans or rice, tho. Lots of salsa, of course!
@PocketBrain yeah, I can see tots replacing the beans and rice

@TheCO2 The best breakfast pizza is regular pizza. Sorry.
@Limewater Cold pizza is pretty awesome. I have to give you that, but I love breakfast pizza, especially with bacon.
WORKER BEES! HERCULES! TURKEY GREASE! AWESOME!
@TheCO2 Casey’s employee here too (store level). I only like the breakfast pizza (bacon) on the flatbread crust.
@msklzannie I happened to notice you were from small town Iowa. Des Moines, here. Just curious where you are from. Send me a private message, if you would rather.
English muffin, egg, cheese, bacon.
contenders:
Picadillo taco w avocado
Breakfast egg taco (add bacon or whatever else you want) with avocado.
Bacon, egg, and cheese on a Kaiser roll from your local deli, with salt, pepper, and hot sauce.
the frittata. a commuter breakfast is a waste of time. if you’re going to do breakfast do it right and enjoy it. life really is short.
anything with cheese. (American “singles” are not cheese, just read the package)
@tjamesturner Needs more stars!
Ugh. No. Egg on bread is just gross to me. All the wrong textures. My standard breakfast is fruit and yogurt. Or oatmeal if I feel fancy.
Two eggs and cheese on a soft bread roll as prepared in an old-school NYC deli, ideally with Tabasco sauce. Proper way to order: “C’n I get a egg and cheese on a roll wid hot sauce?”

I agree.
Toasted onion bagel, smoked sausage, Swiss & monterey jack cheese, toasted again to melt the cheese.

Lox and cream cheese on a bagel or croissant. Get in my belly!
@zinimusprime
Schmear…
Toasted english muffin, sausage, fried egg and swiss cheese! Or Chicken on a biscuit - yum
Panera (STL Bread Co) use to offer a breakfast panini that was amazing. Focaccia bread with sausage and white cheddar.
@tinamarie1974 pan fried/toasted Focaccia bread… yummmmm.
@PocketBrain that sounds yummy!!
no breakfast burritos with sausage and tater,eggs cheese ? we call okie burrito
@Dannylloyd what?
This Wawa Sizzli. Egg, sausage, cheese on Belgian waffles.
Oversize English muffin, fried eggs with cheese and many, many pieces of crispy bacon. Topped with a splash or five of Sriracha.
Go to Arby’s. Buy a Meat Mountain sandwich (sandwich with some of every meat they sell) and request they add cheddar. Take it home, fry an egg sunny side up, insert fried egg on top of meat beneath top bun.
High protein for the breakfast win!

Chicken McGriddle: it’s like chicken and waffles you can eat one-handed.
Steak, egg and cheese bagel. I’m so sad it isn’t on any Californian McDonald’s breakfast menu I’ve seen.
@jitc Maybe they’ll do a black bean impossible fake meat Californisteak bagel…
Any $1 breakfast sandwich.
If you wanna allow open-faced, Eggs Benedict and similar rate high for me. Esp if I eat them outdoors while seated at a patio table with friends at some classy place in the Big Easy.

@f00l Now yer talkin! But only with real hollandaise - none of that mix crap.
@ybmuG
We would be in NO. Of course the H sauce is real.
@f00l Of course. Though you never know what you’ll find. I saw a Red Lobster on cape Cod. I think they lasted 6 months…
@ybmuG
That’s disturbing.
@f00l @ybmuG For years a chef friend’s .signature line was: Real men make hollandaise over medium heat.
@blaineg @f00l you train over a double boiler, but yes, you progress to direct heat. Medium would definitely be a challenge!
@blaineg @ybmuG
I’ve made H sauce, in decades past. The real deal. It’s a Pain to make. But so yummy!
/giphy hollandaise
Toasted onion bagel, buttered, cream cheese, lox, tomato, red onion, capers.
I’m all about the pancake infusion in my breakfast sandwiches. the McGriddle is breakfast mastery
@DocJRoberts Except whatever flavor/sweetener they use in the pancakes, you can smell on your fingers for hours afterwards even if you wash up repeatedly…

I’m from Jersey. Pork roll egg and cheese on a hard roll. Or for you in the Northern part of the state Taylor Ham! IYKYK
@readnj Expat Hawthorne boy here - I haven’t had Taylor Ham in years. Might have to get my family back east to send me some, now that you’ve got me hungry for it again.
Bacon, eggs over easy, and dill pickle with mayonnaise and hot sauce (El Yucateco red is my go-to) on seeded rye. It can get messy, so don’t eat it on the go.
