Making any emulsion—and making it stay—is whisk-labor enough. On top of that, with hollandaise, you're dealing with the dangerous meeting of heat and eggs. And finally,
there are as many recipes as there are brunch junkies out there. So where do you start?

You have to respect
Trader Joe's for addressing such an important issue: that steelcut oatmeal takes
forever to cook. Sometimes up to 45 minutes, it's just too long to justify outside of a weekend breakfast luxury. But wait. Trader Joe's is now selling
frozen steelcut oatmeal—three words you never thought you'd hear together—and it's ready in
less than three minutes. Which got us thinking, what if we made a big pot of steelcut oatmeal and started freezing it in an ice cube tray?

Even people who swear they won't touch fast-food seem to make exceptions for breakfast sandwiches. Something about the combination of egg, melted cheese, salty meat, and toasted bread is so satisfying, not to mention a lifesaver on those especially rough mornings. You go from zero to feeling-more-like-a-real-person in just a few bites.
We tried sandwiches from 11 different chains, and were surprised when only White Castle fried a fresh egg in front of us. More results and photos of the favorite English muffin, bagel, ciabatta, croissant, and toast 'wiches.

We love our toast. We like toast with jam, a drizzle of honey, smeared with Nutella, maybe just a smidgen of butter melting into oblivion. We also like it with cheese, with apricot preserves, for breakfast, for lunch, for dinner, and for a midnight snack. But our question to you is,
how well-done do you like your toast? Do you like it pale, maybe with the slightest hint of gold, or sunburnt to a deep caramel finish?

Last week we asked you to tell us what makes your
perfect breakfast sandwich. We created polls for each element: the
bread, the
egg style, the
cheese, and the
meat. After calculating the winners for each, we have concocted the "perfect" composite: it comes
on an English muffin with a fried egg, cheddar, and (uh oh..) bacon and sausage are tied for the meat vote! Which breakfast meat is superior? Will this question ever be answered? Probably not. But we know that ham didn't win.

And finally, the cheese. Cheddar, American, Swiss, provolone, none, or some fancypants cheese we left out?

Now it's time for the meat. Bacon, ham, sausage, or something else? Or maybe you prefer it meatless (that's fine too!).

Next up, let's discuss the part that arguably makes it a
breakfast sandwich: the egg. What's your favorite preparation? Fried, scrambled, the patty-like blob, poached, or something else?

As you've maybe noticed, we sit around thinking about breakfast sandwiches pretty often. The question of
what constitutes the perfect breakfast sandwich—the bread, the meat, the cheese, the egg—is entirely subjective. But we're trying to get as close as possible to what y'all consider to be the perfect composition for the breakfast chapter in the Serious Eats book we're working on. So first thing's first: what's your favorite bread?

Of all the meat varieties out there—sausage, ham, bacon, even steak—for some reason, chicken was never really invited to the breakfast party. Sure, there's chicken sausage, and a few fast-fooderies do chicken biscuit sandwiches (and we can't forget
Chick Fil-A's Chick-N-Minis), but still. Chicken and breakfast have never been great pals. I guess you could argue that eggs come from the cluck-cluckers, but again, that doesn't really count. Do you believe chicken is underrepresented in the breakfast genre?
