An egg sandwich is a versatile and satisfying meal found in cuisines across the globe, often enjoyed as a hearty breakfast or quick snack. Typically constructed between slices of bread or a bun, it features a cooked egg—fried, scrambled, or boiled—as the centerpiece. Common additions include cheese, meat like bacon or ham, and vegetables such as spinach, tomato, or avocado, with condiments like mayonnaise or ketchup rounding out the flavor. Originating as a simple grab-and-go option, its popularity has expanded due to its adaptability. Nutritionally, egg sandwiches provide protein from eggs and other optional proteins, along with carbohydrates from the bread. It can be made healthier by using whole-grain bread, lean proteins, and fresh veggies. However, it can quickly become indulgent with high-fat cheese, processed meats, and caloric sauces. Making mindful ingredient choices allows this classic sandwich to remain both nourishing and flavorful.
