Breakfast sandwich (grab-and-go)

Savory and rich from the egg and cheese, with the bread component adding most of the texture contrast.

Lens analyzed

This is a pre-made egg, cheese, and often meat sandwich on an English muffin, biscuit, or bagel, sold cold or chilled for a quick microwave reheat. It's built for a fast breakfast rather than a made-to-order one. Grocery store cases and convenience stores stock them near coffee and other grab-and-go items.

Where it comes from

Fast-food breakfast sandwiches popularized the format in the 1970s, and grocery stores followed with their own pre-made, refrigerated versions for shoppers wanting the same convenience at home or on the way to work. The grab-and-go breakfast sandwich case is now a fixture of convenience stores and supermarket delis alike.

Buying it

Check the sell-by date on the wrapper, and note the reheating instructions, since some are meant for the microwave only and others for a toaster oven.

Storing it

Keep it chilled right up until you're ready to microwave it, and use it within a couple of days of buying, since the egg and meat filling won't keep any longer than that.

Keeps about 2 days in the fridge.
