Must-Have Monday: Streamline your breakfast sandwich creation with a single machine

When you’re craving a breakfast sandwich, you generally have two options: make your way down to a fast-food restaurant before their cruel and unusual breakfast cut-off time, or pull out multiple pans and apparatus for crafting one of your own at home.

Enter the breakfast sandwich maker: a handy contraption that lets you prepare all your ingredients in one place and prepare it faster than you can say “I’d like to upsize that, please.” While there have been other products in the past that let you toast your English muffin and poach your egg, this particular find brings an element of vertical integration to your breakfast.

The Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker prepares and assembles your breakfast sandwich with only a few easy steps. Place half your English muffin, bagel, or for the very brave, pancake or waffle on the bottom layer, add your pre-cooked meat, cheese, and additional toppings (I can’t say no to a good slice of tomato), then crack an egg into the egg cook pan on the middle layer of the machine. Cover it, then add your final slice of carbs, close the lid and your sandwich will be ready in five minutes. When it’s cooked, push the machine’s level to move the plates separating layers of your sandwich and voila, it’s a sandwich ready to be enjoyed.

All of the surfaces that come in contact with food are non-stick to wipe clean, and all the removable parts are dishwasher safe.

While this relatively new product currently seems to only be available in the U.S., it’s likely only a matter of time before you can order it directly from the Canadian Hamilton Beach website, or purchase it at a brick-and-mortar store on our side of the border.

Who would love it: Great for a busy single person, student living in a dorm, or that breakfast sandwich aficionado in your life.

How much it costs: $29.99 USD (and for those of you trying to figure out if it’s worth it, that’s the cost of about 10 Egg McMuffins)

Where to get it: You can currently only purchase it from Hamilton Beach’s U.S. site, so you’ll need a cross-border shopping account or friend in the U.S. to get one here in Canada.
