3. Bacon, Sausage, Egg, & Cheese Croissan'wich - Burger King
The best part about breakfast sandwiches is that there are so many different bun options. From biscuits to burger buns to English muffins and croissants, you can always pick whatever fits your fancy.

Featuring just two ingredients, Chick-fil-A's breakfast Chicken Biscuit is a great example of how sometimes, simple is best.

8. Grilled Cheese Breakfast Sandwich - Carl's Jr.
Whoever thought of using grilled cheeses as the buns for a breakfast sandwich is a certified genius.

9. Hash Brown - McDonald's
In our eyes, the perfect breakfast meal is only complete with a side of hash browns, and if there's one spot that does it better than the rest, it's McDonald's hands down. Crispy on the outside but so soft, fluffy, and hot on the inside, their hash brown is definitely top tier. It can't get better than that.
