Can you think of a time when you're not in the mood for an egg sandwich? Me neither. Especially the Scrambled Egg Sandwich ($7.50), served all day at Jane. It comes on crispy grilled sourdough that's smothered in cheddar cheese. You don't even have to bother with ketchup; the acidic tang is already included in the sandwich in the form of homemade tomato chutney.

Forget

Truth be told, I wasn’t expecting much of these slider-sized morsels. Dividing one breakfast sandwich into many can be a sly way of cutting back the eggy, cheesy surface area, passing off hunks of bread with minimal goodies as bite-sized sandwiches.
