Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make a fluffy egg patty like a fast-food egg sandwich?+
Whisk the eggs vigorously with a splash of milk, cook them low and slow in a small nonstick pan, and gently fold rather than scramble so you get a tall, tender folded egg patty just like a McMuffin.
What cheese melts best on an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich?+
American cheese melts the smoothest and gives that classic diner pull. Cheddar, gouda, pepper jack, and provolone are also great picks for an egg breakfast sandwich.
Can I use bacon or sausage instead of Canadian bacon?+
Yes — swap in crispy bacon, a homemade breakfast sausage patty, ham, or even leftover breakfast tacos filling for a heartier egg sandwich.
How do I keep the bun from getting soggy?+
Toast the buns first and let the cooked egg patty drain briefly on paper towels before assembling. Building your breakfast sandwich right before eating helps too.
