(Hey, you can place your vote here!)
“How about cheesy?” “Definitely!”
“I think I know what you are looking for! “Great . . . what is it?”
“Hey! Here’s an idea, let’s go get some…!”
Au Bon Pain has a widely great selection of “On the Go” foods, but there is one that is more than perfect. It’s the egg whites, cheddar, and bacon on a skinny wheat bagel breakfast sandwich.. Of course, you can choose different types of bread, but my preference is wheat because it is crunchy and delicious.
Now, about that cheese. It is a perfect cheese that goes with anything, honestly. The moment you bite in, you want another piece right away. The orange cheese oozes yummily out of the sandwich. When you take that first bite, the warmth makes it even better!
I understand if you don’t like eggs. I used to dislike them, but now I will try them with anything thanks to this sandwich. You might think, “Oh, how can a sandwich change someone’s preference about eggs?” But it really did change mine! It is well cooked, and the yolk is cooked, too, so for all you yolk dislikers, it’s made for you!
Who doesn’t love bacon? It adds a nice crispiness. Bacon goes with anything, but it goes significantly well with this breakfast sandwich! I believe that the bacon is the most flavorful part of the sandwich. It gives out the most taste and is the best part of it.
As for the skinny wheat bagel, the name says it all. It is not a normal-shaped bagel, although the size is somewhat the same. It is a thinner sliced and cut bagel, with wheat on the top. If you don’t like wheat, or are allergic to it, then you can choose a different type of bread, but I feel healthier and better when I take this bread.
As for the aroma, it is a mixture of the bacon and bagel. You might think, “Ughh! Bagel?” But it’s true!
Delicious. Enjoyable. Healthy. Eggs and cheese are a good source of protein, and you need protein in your body to help it grow. With only 370 calories, and a lot of protein (25 grams) you will enjoy this “On the Go” sandwich.
“Satisfied?” “Yes!”
“Want more?” “Of course I do!”
“Is it healthy?” “Yup!”
“Wanna go and get some more?” “Sure, let’s go!”
