On the search for the best breakfast sandwich in CT brings us to Ray & Mike’s Deli in Hamden.
We originally came to Ray & Mike’s Deli to get the “Egg Bomb” Sandwich, a monstrosity of a breakfast sandwich that has an egg, bacon, ham, sausage, and a hash brown on it.
But while there, about to order, we noticed all the signs about “Voted #1 Steak & Cheese in New Haven County“.
So, foregoing the “Egg Bomb” (for now), it seemed only right to try a breakfast sandwich with the steak on it.
A steak, egg, and cheese.
Allow me to paint a picture of what you will experience:
Bread.
Bread and Steak-ums.
There’s nothing wrong with that, but the dominant taste you get is just the roll.
On a steak, egg, and cheese, that shouldn’t be the case.
But the roll is just so big and doughy.
The steak-um flavor also isn’t powerful enough to stand out.
At this point, the egg becomes an unnecessary addition, the only thing qualifying this as a breakfast sandwich.
The cheese as well is mild, blending in.
Overall, I wish I tried the ‘Egg Bomb”, because with this much bread, you’ll need more than just an egg and cheese.
