> [@madrabbitwoman](#): > > More like hamburger roll/sliced bread buttered + Fried egg + fried bacon + sauce (tomato or BBQ) The American version might be a little drier (sauce isn’t common, and butter’s not universal), but a basic roll with fried (or scrambled) eggs and bacon/sausage as a takeaway (or foodstand) breakfast is pretty ubiquitously available. The bacon/sausage is optional, the egg is not (well, people eat hot buttered rolls too), but I’m getting at the fact that you won’t generally see the equivalent of a U.K./Ireland butty/bap with bacon \ – not sure if they have those in Australia. ---

> [@madrabbitwoman](#): > > More like hamburger roll/sliced bread buttered + Fried egg + fried bacon + sauce (tomato or BBQ) I’ve seen that done with bagels, English muffins, and (American) biscuits. Occasionally you might see it done with toast, like at, say [Sonic](http://www.sonicdrivein.com/menu/sections.do)\*. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen it with a hamburger bun. Oh, and the sauce is usually optional, and is more likely to be (American) ketchup or even salsa. I personally like it better without any sauce. \*Site contains flash, so I linked you to the menu nutrition page, which does not. My contribution: I found out the reason my mom’s spinach tastes so good. She drops an egg in it, like you would Chinese fried rice. ---

I personally like it better without any sauce. Don’t forget cheese. A slice of American cheese is a common “dressing” on an American breakfast sandwich (“breakfast sandwich” or “egg sandwich” appears to be the generic name for this concoction). The standard configuration is Bread product–bagel, English muffin, biscuit, hard roll, toast, Kaiser roll (less common) or even a croissant (though the “croissant” tends to be a greasy, chewy thing under such conditions) +Egg–scrambled or fried (at chain places, often an egg-based patty) +Meat–egg, bacon, ham, Canadian bacon, sausage patty +Cheese The last two are not mandatory; egg & cheese, or egg & meat (no cheese) sandwiches are common. I’ve also eaten “breakfast wraps” with scrambled eggs etc. rolled in a flour tortilla, and “breakfast crepes” with eggs etc. rolled in crepes (delicious if you can get them). ---

> [@Huerta88](#): > > In honor of Burns Night – I guess to stretch my OP, I do have to take off my hat to the guy who thought sausage meat could be augmented by wrapping it around a boiled egg and deep frying. Yes yes! I had it at a pub once, and then decided I had to make it at home. It was good at home, but, much like sushi, well worth paying someone ELSE to do it for me. 😛 ---

A favourite snack of mine is to boil up a bowlful of garden peas and add two soft-poached eggs on top, with salt and pepper. Helps if you’re a pea-fan of course. ---

mmmmm waffle sandwich… 1 crisp platesized waffle with butter, 1-2 fried eggs, 2-4 strips crunchy bacon 🙂 the waffle catches all the crumbs and egg bits. Om nom nom! now I want one. I think it’s a great idea, but folks are routinely surprised by it. Who needs syrup? ---

I’ve eaten the egg on pizza in France and I’d love to try it at home. “A cheval” I think they call it [on horseback]. Does anyone know when in the baking process to put the egg on the pizza? I’m afraid to wind up with raw egg all over a pizza.
