OT: OK fried egg with cheese and bacon better on Eng Muf or hot flour tortilla

A good hard roll or lightly toasted muffin even much better options for sandwich integrity. A bagel is a frickin mess.

I agree on egg prep. The omelette scramble style on a breakfast sandwich is for noobs
Beg to differ. On a tortilla, it is the way to go. They lack the structural integrity. Agree otherwise though.
 
I'm eating an egg and provolone on an english muffin right now. Living in the Southwest, we're up to our eyeballs in tortillas and burritos. I love a good tortilla, but I'll take bacon/egg/cheese on a good roll or an eglish muffin every time.

The only place within 50 miles that I can get a good egg sandwich is a deli that's inside a gas station and owned by an ex New Yorker. He'll even make you an egg, provolone and Taylor Ham (pork roll) sandwich if you know to ask for it.
 
Slices of ham, 2 eggs and Swiss cheese on rye bread. Topped of with Thousand Island dressing. A little messy but oh so good!

I see what you did there.

Well played.
 
Since quarantine, breakfast tacos have been on high rotation. Decadent breakfast or a quick, easy lunch when time is short...it never disappoints.

Pre-reqs:
  • Street taco-sized corn tortillas, personally I like the blue ones because they look so cool on my Fiestaware.
    • On medium heat on a dry pan, heat each each side of tortilla until there's a touch of burn on each side.
  • Scrambled eggs, no pre-seasoning, but season after cooking with salt, pepper and coriander
  • Lightly salted avocado slices
  • A dab or two of Frank's
On from there, do whatever you want.

Switch the Franks with a dab or two of green el yucateco and I’m in
 
I hate eggs.
Is this a ban-able offense? I have them just about every day, so I'm on the other side of the spectrum.

Of my choices from the initial post, I take the English muffin 100% of the time. But here at home I use the Calise Bulkie Rolls and broil instead of toast the roll so only the inside of the roll is toasted. Then it's bacon, egg and American cheese.
 
.-.
I think American cheese is basically inedible. And I love almost all cheese. There, I said it.
 
When I use a Bagel for a breakfast sandwich, I use either two slices of cheese or cut a slice in half. I cover both holes of the Bagel with cheese. It slows down the egg and ketchup escape routes. Oh no, did I say Ketchup? I am not a fast food person anymore. It has been years. However, Mickey D's had breakfast bagels. Same as the McMuffin, only on a bagel. But they the Steak, egg and cheese bagel with saute onions. I miss that bagel. Thomas also has the large English muffins. Four in a pack. In addition, the Everything Bagel is a personal favorite of mine.
 
Egg, Bacon and Cheese on a toasted/grilled poppy seed roll (maybe sausage removing the bacon). A little ketchup on it too.

The best breakfast sandwiches right down the road from me:

no croissant mention at all? This is ridiculous. hard rolls tortillas English muffins bagels all good choices...but excluding croissant is crazy town.

fair point. A croissant is a very suitable breakfast sandwich conveyance.
 
Unless you have teeth like a bear trap, all the egg squirts out on the first bite.
Yup.
Looks great until you pick it up and try and eat it. Could you imagine trying to eat that while driving? ( the ultimate sign of an effective breakfast sandwich)

For the amateurs out there, eating a good breakfast sandwich is like eating.....

Before digging in to the crunchy bagel, you need to nibble around the edges and eat the excess. If you have a natural casing sausage, scoring the top before cooking definitely helps make it easier to eat. Once you have the sandwich trimmed to the size of the bread, you gotta flip it so the top is down and the bottom is up. Easier to bite through the bottom of the bagel with top teeth and hold sandwich in place with bottom. A strong and nimble tongue definitely helps keep the spillage of the insides to a minimum. As SJ said, you use the bread to stop up any mess.

I had less than a forks worth of spillage on plate when I was done. Now, of course, eating at my house, there was no fork. It was a two finger pinch and in to the gullet.

Only a little yellow but Ham's Sandlot picture and chest protector was in perfect position to catch the drippage.

I don't know. I'd say most of the time I eat a breakfast sandwich, I'm working off a bit of a hangover. A croissant is a little lighter fare than I think I need at that time. Brunch with the inlaws? Maybe.

Croissants are sneakily not light fare imo. A ton of butter and pretty greasy, and they never sit well in my stomach.

Portuguese roll all day for me; hard/Kaiser roll otherwise.

Bialy if I am not making a sandwich out of it. Way better than bagel on all fronts imo.
