- The egg sandwich is an integral part of any fast-food breakfast menu.
- Every chain has their own special takes on it, especially the "Big Three" chains: McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's.
- We taste-tested each chain's egg breakfast sandwiches to find out which is the best — and in the end, we were surprised by what we found.
Egg, cheese, and bacon or sausage: the classic breakfast sandwich. It's ubiquitous, yet the simple breakfast sandwich enjoys eternal popularity.
And with breakfast habits changing, breakfast sandwiches on-the-go have become all the more popular.

I tried the egg, cheese, and meat iterations from three major fast-food chains — Burger King, McDonald's, and Wendy's — to see which one comes out on top. At the end of the test, the winner surprised us all — and it gives a huge incentive for a huge chain to step up its breakfast game.
The Big Three all serve some version of the sandwich; at first glance, the only difference seems to be the bread.

If this is a toasted hoagie bun, I don't know what a hoagie is. It's an elongated hamburger bun with all the sogginess and disappointment that buns are heir to — a bun to be wished away. The sickly yellow egg is gelatinous and tastes of complete nothingness. With fast-food sausage and bacon all in one sandwich, the entire thing comes off as incredibly salty. I didn't finish this one.
