bacon egg cheese

Classic morning trio

A bacon egg cheese is a breakfast sandwich combining these three ingredients, typically on a roll, bagel, or English muffin.

The phrase functions as a single lexical unit when ordering, especially at New York City bodegas and delis: Let me get a bacon egg cheese on a roll.

The sandwich is a staple of American grab-and-go breakfast culture.
