This Clever Little Gadget Makes Sandwiches That Are 'Better Than McDonald's Egg McMuffins’

The perfect breakfast sandwich is elusive. The cheese needs to be melted, not rubbery, and the bread should be golden brown, not burned—if it’s too crispy it just dissolves into a mess of crumbs. But if you’re a breakfast enthusiast, you’re probably on the lookout for a kitchen gadget that can bring the perfection of a fast food breakfast sandwich to your own kitchen.

This Hamilton Beach breakfast sandwich maker delivers on that promise, preparing a delicious and customizable sandwich with egg, bread, cheese, and your meat of choice in just five minutes. And now that it’s on sale, you can have a lifetime of McDondald’s-quality Egg McMuffin sandwiches for just $26 with a coupon.

This small appliance (which measures only 7- by 7- by 9-inches) lets you customize your own sandwiches by layering as many five ingredients on top of each other. First, you add your first slice of bread, precooked meat and a slice or two of cheese to the sandwich maker. Then, crack an egg directly into the included egg tray, which slides right on top of meat and cheese. Add your second slice of bread right on top, and then close the sandwich maker and let it cook. 

According to the brand, the sandwich maker takes just five minutes to prepare a perfectly cooked egg and delicious, melted cheese, between two slices of toasted bread. Once it’s done, just slide the egg plate out of the sandwich maker—and once you open the lid back up, the sandwich will be assembled and ready to eat. 

You don’t have to limit yourself to breakfast either. You can use this machine to make all kinds of savory sandwiches (as long as the meat is precooked), from a cheesy tuna melt to a grilled cheese.The exterior can be wiped clean, and all the removable parts are dishwasher-safe, so it’s simple enough to clean and use again as soon as you’re in the mood for another sandwich. 

More than 29,000 Amazon shoppers have given the Hamilton Beach sandwich maker a five-star rating, thanks to the fact that it can produce a breakfast sandwich that rivals even the most iconic fast food versions. In fact, one shopper wrote that all you have to do is to drop your ingredients in, wait five minutes, and “Poof! You have a better sandwich than a McDonald's Egg McMuffin.”

Another shopper was so impressed with this sandwich maker that they wrote that it makes the “perfect breakfast sandwich every time,” and added that it is “truly nonstick”—no butter or oil needed.

The search for the appliance that will finally bring fast food quality breakfast sandwiches to your home is finally over—and now that’s only $26, it’ll save you money in the long run, too.
