The Chemistry Egg Breakfast Sandwich

The eggs, whisked with milk and cooked gently, transform from liquid to a fluffy, cohesive mass, a process known as coagulation. The milk adds moisture and tenderness to the scrambled eggs, ensuring they’re soft and not rubbery. Bacon, when baked, undergoes the Maillard reaction, developing a deep, complex flavor and irresistible crispness. The melting Colby Jack cheese adds a creamy texture and rich taste, perfectly complementing the eggs and bacon.

How can yo customize your egg breakfast sandwich?

Feel free to add your favorite vegetables, switch up the cheese, or use different types of bread or rolls to make each sandwich uniquely yours.

Best way to store and reheat egg breakfast sandwiches?

Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through for a quick and satisfying meal.
