What Is A Scrambled Egg Sandwich?

Generally, an egg sandwich is a sandwich with eggs as a filling cooked in a particular way. Fried eggs, boiled eggs, omelettes, and scrambled are some of the popular options. The eggs may be placed between two slices of bread (rye, sourdough, whole-wheat, multi-grain, white bread), bagels, brioche buns, or croissants. It is a very savoury dish, and you may enhance its flavour by adding cheese, vegetables such as tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, or onions, and even meat such as bacon or ham. This is a very much comforting food in itself and can be made frequently in your home.
