8 Fast-Food Chains That Serve the Best Eggs
Eggs are the best! Whether you like yours scrambled or in an omelet filled with tasty add-ons like ham, cheese, or spinach, eggs not only taste great but are also packed with protein, which can help fuel you right into lunchtime. What's not to love?
Now, if you don't have time to make them at home, there are plenty of breakfast options out there, including fast-food chains that serve eggs in many iterations: breakfast platters, breakfast bowls, or breakfast sandwiches and burritos. Some not only serve freshly-cracked eggs cooked from scratch but also boast premium ingredients that go with them, like gruyere cheese, feta, super crispy bacon, and yummy hash browns.
From a popular taco chain that makes Crunchwraps with eggs to a famous spot incorporating its incredibly famous chicken nuggets into breakfast, here are the fast-food chains that serve the best eggs.
Chick-fil-A
If you thought that Chick-fil-A only excels at making tasty chicken, think again. The famous chain is just as popular for its breakfast options. There's the Hash Brown Scramble Bowl, which is prepared with crispy hash browns, sliced chicken nuggets (yes, you can get Chick-Fil-A's famous chicken in this breakfast bowl), eggs, and jack and cheddar cheeses. If bowls aren't your thing, then there's also the Hash Brown Scramble Burrito which is a great substitute for an egg sandwich if you want something a bit lighter.
Besides being oh-so-tasty, the chain's egg dishes are also highly customizable. For instance, if you're not in the mood to have chicken in your egg bowl, you can always replace it with bacon, a grilled filet, or sausage. They also have a grilled chicken and egg sandwich on an English muffin if you need a quick bite.
