Breakfast Queso Sandwiches

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Einstein Bros. Bagels' Bacon & Queso Egg Sandwich is Spicy & Smoky

— September 8, 2021 — Lifestyle
Einstein Bros. Bagels' Bacon & Queso Egg Sandwich provides a taste of the brand's signature queso for breakfast, along with double-whipped jalapeño salsa shmear and spicy green chilies. The sandwich is altogether smoky and spicy, thanks to other additions like smoked applewood bacon and seasoned cage-free eggs.

As Chad Thompson, head of culinary innovation at Einstein Bros. Bagels, says "Everyone loves queso, but until now, it has stayed off the breakfast table - for no good reason." The texture-packed breakfast sandwich is a new menu addition to look forward to this fall, and cheese lovers will also be able to enjoy the new queso on existing Einstein Bros. sandwiches.

Smoked queso has captured the interests of foodies over the summer and this new sandwich packs this popular flavor into a treat that can be enjoyed first thing in the morning.
