The Breakfast Sandwich.

I don't know if a better choice for breakfast exists. I like mine on a wheat bagel or a nice crispy hard roll. I've been enjoying them with scrambled eggs lately.

I thought you wee watching your weight. If so, take it easy there on the eggs (Not a gay pun...).

I actually had a sandwich put on the menu for me at a restaurant back home - Rodney's BELTCH - bacon, slightly runny fried egg, lettuce, slice of tomato, slice of american cheese on white bread. So. Damn. Good. I ate one about four times a week for a while. Have been having one at a local diner up here for a while, but it took a few years to get on the menu at the last place, so I'm pretty patient.

I prefer a nice breakfast burrito with sausage. Salsa and guacamole on the side, please.

Eggs are only 70 calories and nature's most perfect source of protein! If I were cutting calories, I'd use less butter to cook them in and switch the sugar in my coffee for splenda. Breakfast sandwiches are ridiculous. I'm not so hip on McGriddles but just about any other combo of meat, cheese, eggs with a toasty starch matrix is delicious. I'd try to think of something that would be silly and good for breakfast, but I think that's the meal where people are most conservative.

I'd worry more about the bagel/roll.

And there are far better breakfast choices. Amongst them:

Omelettes
Waffles
Pancakes
French Toast

^ Yes, more eggs! Lots of good nutrition, few calories.

This morning my breakfast was an omelette with 5 eggs, 1.5 tomatoes, and a small handful of spinach. It was enormous, and it quite possibly had fewer calories than your bagel alone. Tasted amazing, too.

Maybe we need an egg lovers thread to counter the bacon thread.

Except for us middle-aged folk who are supposed to be watching our cholesterol.

Egg and cheese on a long roll with hot sauce!!! (preferably from a lunch truck) On Sundays, I make egg and cheese sandwiches on a cast-iron skillet, sandwiched between English muffins, sliced and toasted.

LOL 5 egg omelette? Shit man. I thought my 3-eggers were big. Can we all at least agree that a greasy breakfast sandwich is the ultimate cure for a hangover?

While on my motorcycle trip last Sept. my stepdad and I ate a ridiculous amount of food every morning (for me, anyway). When camping (about half the nights of the trip), we'd get up at 8-ish and scramble up 6 eggs, fry a pound of bacon (cut in half to fit in our little pan), and an english muffin each (fried in butter, we didn't have a toaster). Putting all these things together was the most amazing breakfast sandwich of all time. The most important thing was not to overcook the eggs and dry them out, but soaking the muffin in that much butter helped as well. The best part of it was, after riding 3 hours in the cold, all those calories were gone. One time I scrambled the leftovers of last night's sausage and peppers into the eggs, and that was sublime.

^ This breakfast on a camping trip would seem to lead to "” at some point anyway "” an interesting personal hygiene challenge.

5 eggs? That's a lot of cholesterol.
