This Smoked Salmon Breakfast Sandwich Is the Most Decadent Way to Brunch

New York runs on breakfast sandwiches, and that means those of us here at MUNCHIES HQ in Brooklyn eat a lot of them in the morning. Well, more accurately, we eat a lot of breakfast sandwiches on hungover weekend mid-afternoons.

When it comes to which breakfast sandwich is the King of New York, a debate rages: bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll or bagel, lox, and cream cheese on a bagel? Bagel shop or bodega? High brow or low brow?

Well, leave it to a sandwich guru in Los Angeles, a city that knows little about bodegas or bagels (we kid, kind of) to settle this pressing question once and for all by creating a sandwich that's the best of both worlds.

Eggslut's Alvin Cailan recently stopped by the MUNCHIES Test Kitchen to show us how to make the new smoked salmon breakfast sandwich he made especially for the newly opened Chef's Club Counter in Manhattan.

RECIPE: Smoked Salmon Breakfast Sandwich

Perfection is a mixture of cream cheese and smoked salmon on a buttery toasted brioche bun topped with a fried egg and slice of creamy Havarti.

It wasn't long ago we touted another Eggslut sandwich as the Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich, but this one might dethrone the previous King of the Morning.
