Best Bacon Egg + Cheese in CT?

[CTMike]

American cheese is perfect for BEC and burgers. The king.

 

[August_West]

American is the worst cheese I’ve ever had. Is it even cheese?

The right cheese for the application is definitely pepper jack.

on a chorizo and egg sandwich or wrap, sure. but now we are getting off the path, arent we? We are talking about a Northeast institution here as unique and reknowned as Pizza and Lobster rolls to the area.


Tell you what though since we are off to the races. The Jersey Breakfast sandwiches with Taylor Ham can give a Southern CT/NYC BEC a run for its money.

I like Dunkin' Donuts bacon egg and cheese the most. They always microwave their eggs perfectly.

Ok I see the bacon egg and cheese, Portuguese roll and Taylor ham have been covered.

Who you got for best breakfast sausage patty? When the sausage patty is good, I prefer it to bacon for an egg and cheese sandwich.

Quick question... does anyone know what a hard roll is? Just wondering.

Man, that's a sore spot almost as bad as pizza & bagels for me. There are a handful of us CT ex-pats on the r/pittsburgh subreddit who pine for actual hard rolls.

However, the best I've found in the past decade weren't in CT. They were from a bakery in Carle Place, LI.

I have a pretty good recipe that gave me the crumbly crust and soft innards, but I don't use it as wife no longer eats bread and they don't freeze well.

I'll also add that a summer fresh garden tomato slice bumps your standard BEC to 11 and cheddar is too greasy, it needs American, although you can get away with Colby or ColbyJack.

All my family lives in North Jersey. They don't do pizza all that well but they do Italian better than anywhere else. There are so many good Italian restaurants and grocery stores everywhere you look.

The bagels are a bit small at Bruegger’s, but the Western sandwich is v good.
Bacon, egg, cheddar, green peppers, red peppers, onion, chipotle sauce. On an everything bagel...mmmmmm

NF Food Center tops my list

+1
New Fairfield Food Center BECHBHS (Bacon egg and cheese, hash brown, hot sauce) is absolutely amazing.

Can we all agree that establishments (and there are 3 here within spitting distance in Essex as I type this) that scramble the eggs for their breakfast sandwiches instead of a broken yolk fried egg should all be burned to the ground?

Please lets get that stipulated before some dope like Dove comes here and starts singing the praises of something hideous.

Totally agree

Notch Store in Cheshire. Best breakfast sandwich I have ever had.

Smoked kielbasa, man.

Angry Egg is my favorite breakfast spot in Manchester. Honestly don’t know if I’ve gotten the sandwich there but I’m sure it’s awesome.

No lie though, the Sam’s connivence store next to the Langan VW in Glastonbury makes the BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICHES

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

It’s interesting that this is definitely a food group that is better in the northeast. Living in Atlanta, and now California, I have learned the best BEC is made at home. And...they still don’t have real hard rolls....or good bread in general, that can compete with the northeast.

When I lived in Stamford, there was a diner on high ridge road near the Merritt, that had an amazing BEC. As I remember, it looked a lot like the picture on the Country Cow site. Not sure if they are still there.

Bread....pizza....BEC...bagels...all things that other parts of the country just don’t do as well as the northeast.

Parkway Diner. Been there often. Still there.

I actually like Dunkin Donuts' sausage patty (just the right amount of kick w/ other spices). I used to go to D&D the night before and just buy the sausage patties to take to UConn football tailgates.

Calandras bread ftw...

kid you not - Mobile Station grill at exit 14 in Southbury - Egg & cheese and hard roll 1.50 made to order

ADub has owned the first 3 pages of this thread. Especially the part about Dove being a dope. I can't recall a poster ever dominating a topic like this in recent memory.

Are Brenda and Eddie still a big hit there?

When I lived in Stamford in the early 1980's Allen's Deli on High Ridge Rd had a great Bacon, Egg and Cheese on a hard Roll special that came with coffee and a Tropicana OJ. Probably not there anymore?
