Ranking Fast Food Breakfast Sandwiches

The Bacon, gouda, and egg on a ciabatta may be Starbucks’ most popular breakfast sandwich, but it was the biggest disappointment of those we tried.
For $6 and change, we were expecting a sandwich bigger than the palm of a hand, but this bacon, egg, and cheese comes on what we would call a mini ciabatta roll.
Panera
We kept it classic with a sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. Panera bakes its bread in-house daily — just one of the many superiorities on its breakfast menu.
A hearty bagel is great for an egg sandwich, it holds everything together. It contains a juicy sausage patty, sharp asiago cheese, and a thin layer of fluffy, scrambled eggs.
White Castle
White Castle’s sausage, egg, and cheese slider is sandwiched between two mini Belgian waffles to create a savory, sweet breakfast.
As soft as the sweetened waffles were, the bottom was too dry to meld with the sausage patty. The sandwich didn't hold together too well once out of its cardboard sleeve.
Subway
Subway rocks an "open kitchen" so to speak. The buffet-style lineup allows for ultimate customization and the breakfast menu is no different.
Subway uses Black Forest ham, which has a bold smokey flavor, perfectly paired with a cheesy egg. It's not watery like some processed brands, so it cooks to a perfect crisp.
Sonic
In theory, Sonic's bacon breakfast toaster is the perfect sandwich. It's all we adore: Salty meat and egg practically squashed into a gooey grilled cheese, all for under $6.
The bacon was plentiful with just the right amount of crunch, stacked atop layers of bouncy scrambled eggs. The sandwich's fillings were superb.
