6 Tips to Make a Better Breakfast Sandwich

The humble breakfast sandwich is usually made with simple ingredients like a bagel, eggs, cheese, and breakfast meat like bacon or sausage, but there are a couple of important techniques such as how you layer the sandwich, avoiding running and how to toast it together that can really amp it up into a cohesive mix of flavor and texture.

“Always on the diagonal” on a circular object lol

[rybodelerium]

I might need a more in-depth tutorial on cutting round things on diagonals, tried this but my bagel just ended up in squares. Haha, nice sammich man!

I disagree with your bias against fried eggs on breakfast sandwiches. Hear me out. I understand how with sunny side up eggs, you might have too much yolk which can be messy on a sandwich. This can be remedied by simply cooking the eggs over easy or over medium. This way, you'll have a better amount of yolk as to be both not be excessively messy and to add some extra sauce in the form of delicious yellow goodness. Furthermore, Its not even accurate to say that scrambled eggs are immune to messiness as when you crunch through a nice toasted bagel you'll often squeeze bits of scrambled egg out of the sandwich. Even with the wrapping this can still occur. Other than that I thought this was a really nice video and I will be sure to take advantage of your wrapping technique the next time I make a breakfast sandwich.

I always cut my bagels on a diagonal too.

if i am sitting
at a table
with a plate in front of me
bring on the runny egg yolk....

Runny Yolk is the point of a breakfast sandwhich.

Something I always like to do to prevent my sandwich from spilling out when you bite into it, is to scoop the inside bread out from the top of the bagel. It locks the eggs into place and makes the sandwich way less messy if you don’t wrap it.

I do bagel, creme cheese, a lil chorizo, scrambled egg, bacon, cheese, lil mustard, creme cheese.

A bagel on a diagonal....love it Ethan

as a humble new jersey resident, an authentic breaky sammy is unbeatable. the key to the egg is frying it but breaking the yolk so it’s kind of a patty of marbled yolk and white, which prevents mushy scrambled eggs that might be squished out from the bagel and prevents the sogginess of a runny yolk. and american cheese is always the way to go.

[johnrizzo]

for traveling purposes yea runny egg is bad, but if you have a plate in front of you nothing beats that first bite and the runny warm yolk splooging all over the contents of your bagel sandwich. especially if you put some hashbrown on your bagel sandwich and it absorbs into the potato and creates a masterpiece of flavor

Excellent cud video, me personally would go for an egg fried in ring mould. Then steamed for 30 seconds. I find it's much more structurally sound and wont fly out the side.

Yum! Wrapping…I am definitely trying that!

[Elekea]

Personally, I still feel the way I make my breakfast sandwich works better for me because I have an order to follow:
Toast the bagel (or bread) in a butter,
fry the bacon in said toasty butter, (jalapeno bacon is my favorite)
season some butter, spices and peppers with the bacon grease,
than using an egg ring, fry a very slightly scrambled egg (still fried, just broken on purpose) into a perfectly bagel sized ring.
If you get the opportunity to try this I'd appreciate any feedback! It's my favorite!

Honestly runny yolk on a breakfast sandwich (I personally go for a brioche burger bun) is super good, If you're really afraid of a mess just keep it on with a lid so the yolk goes jammy. But imo good burgers and sandwiches should be messy within reason.

Really enjoying your videos! I follow lots of cooks/chefs. I am skilled in the kitchen yet I still always learn something new from your vids.

I love eggs in any style they come, (except for over cooked, which is just a crime)! I always soft scramble but I find them frustrating to eat on a sammy, much the way you feel about the fried egg. Personally I make an omelet in a small pan and fold it up to fit on the breakfast sammy, less squishy and easier to eat.

My easiest solution is...
Split a fresh bagel and put some ham and slices of (pepper jack) cheese on and today in a toaster oven while I cook my egg. For the egg I spray some Pam in my microwave safe bowl and crack one egg in it. I break the yolk. Then into the microwave with a paper towel on top. Cook enough so the yolk is no longer runny (everyone's microwave is different but I use level 4 for 1:20 min). They are both usually done around the same time so it's time to construct. Bagel bottom, egg, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, bagel top. It's perfect for my tastes. 😎👍

Good video, but I have one problem with it--if you're cutting a round in half, across the diameter, there is no "diagonal"! Every cut is the same. (Today's geometry lesson 😁)

[civilizeddiva]

I love soft, pillowy, scrambled eggs.

[jamesgrega]

A perfectly fried egg on a breakfast sandwich beats all other good sir...
