About McDONALD'S, BIG BREAKFAST

The breakfast sandwich packs a full morning meal between bread, stacking eggs, cheese, and a breakfast meat like bacon, sausage, or ham on a roll, biscuit, bagel, English muffin, or croissant. A grab-and-go icon of American fast-food menus and diner counters, it bundles protein, carbohydrates, and fat into one handheld package built for busy mornings. Depending on what goes in it, it can be a hearty, protein-rich start to the day or a fairly heavy, calorie-dense one, especially with buttery pastry and processed meat.

Regional and homemade versions abound, from the Southern sausage biscuit to New York's bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll and California avocado-topped takes. The warm, melty union of a runny or folded egg and gooey cheese is what makes it so satisfying. Plenty of cooks batch-make and freeze them for quick weekday reheating. Serve a breakfast sandwich hot, while the cheese is still soft and the bread is toasty.
