Oats and coffee are fine and all, but sometimes you need a super substantial breakfast — perhaps you were out drinking yesterday or skipped dinner the night before, that's when the only answer is the almighty egg sandwich.
Here's just a sampling of selections to try around the Lowcountry. All of these choices are offered during the week, so you won't have to wait for brunch to indulge.
Stop by French-style bakery Baguette Magic for the Recovery Baguette. It's two large eggs, bacon, ham, cheddar, lettuce, and tomato. If you're not in need of recovery, perhaps try the blue cheese, bacon, and arugula version.
All day eatery Caviar & Bananas does a brisk breakfast business, and can get you out quick with a foil-wrapped custom egg sandwich, which could include an egg white and apple sausage version if you're eating light.
Hungry commuters in Mount Pleasant should grab a Taylor ham, egg, and cheese sandwich from Collective Coffee. The breakfast item will keep you full far past lunchtime. Other eggy choices include bacon, sausage, or ham on a biscuit, toast, or bagel.
For just $3.50, Marina Variety Store will serve you a "Famous Breakfast Sandwich" with egg and cheese while you stare at the harbor. It's $5.59 if you're looking for a bacon addition.
This quaint market features a spicy version of the beloved breakfast sandwich. The menu item is constructed with two fried eggs on toasted ciabatta with Barber's cheddar, arugula and Sriracha mayonnaise (or a balsalmic reduction). It's sure to awaken you and your taste buds.
It's your choice at corner store Queen Street Grocery. Choose your bread (croissant, bagel, toast) meats, eggs, and cheese. The turkey on croissant with bacon and goat cheese is a favorite.
The Park Cafe's fried egg sandwich has a loyal following of breakfast enthusiasts. The avocado, egg, cheddar, and bacon stack makes more appearances on Instagram feeds than Kim Kardashian. And, why not, the natural lighting in the restaurant is perfect for food photos.
Line up at Mercantile and Mash if you're in need of an egg sandwich with fried boudin or shaved ham. These hearty morning offerings may require a napkin and a nap afterwards.
Believe it or not, one of the most filling and affordable egg sandwiches in Mount Pleasant comes from a hot dog stand. Stop by Johnny's off of Ben Sawyer Boulevard for a sausage egg, and cheese or a Taylor ham, egg, and cheese for under $5.00
Café Framboise is French (obviously) so the kitchen soufflés the eggs for its sandwiches. This results in a fluffy canvas for bacon, béchamel, or spinach, depending on which egg sandwich you choose. Bread selections also come in baguette, brioche, croissant and egg bread.
Huger Street newcomer North Central Delicatessen serves some of the most "authentic" bagel sandwiches around — "authentic" if you reminisce fondly of New York bodega sandwiches. In the mornings, order a double Taylor pork roll with American cheese and scrambled egg, and be the envy of your officemates.
Brown's Court Bakery may be known for its sweets, but do not overlook the breakfast sandwiches. All varieties of egg, cheese, bacon, ham, or chorizo are warm and ready to go as soon as the store opens, so you don't have to wait for the heavy stacks of morning goodness. These sandwiches will keep you full all day.
Former FIG pastry chef Melanie Durant set up shop in a food truck to bring James Island freshly baked crullers, cinnamon buns, egg sandwiches, and more. The mobile kitchen sets up on Thursdays through Sundays and routinely sells out within hours. Don't miss the ham and runny egg sandwich with gruyere and piña jam.
