Evidence-Based
Chefs share the frozen breakfast sandwiches that taste closest to a real diner meal.

A good breakfast can set the tone of the day and help you feel more energized to get through a busy schedule, but it’s not always possible to prepare a nice meal on the go. While nothing beats a hearty breakfast sandwich hot off the griddle, there are satisfying frozen breakfast sandwiches that are filling and tasty. To find the best ones, Eat This, Not That! turned to  Therese Buchanan, Home Chef, Food Blogger & Recipe Developer at Tessie’s Table, who shared her favorites.

Eggo homemade sandwiches

Waffles paired with eggs and sausage or bacon deliver the best of both worlds: sweetness on the outside, savory richness on the inside. That contrast is irresistible for many people—and it’s why the Eggo breakfast sandwich is one Buchanan recommends. “The waffles hold their shape and don’t get soggy,” she says. ” They’re quick and perfect for grab-and-go mornings.”
