Breakfast sandwiches became popular in the United States during the mid‑20th century as a quick, portable way for workers to eat a hearty morning meal. They reflect the American emphasis on convenience and protein‑rich starts to the day.

Breakfast sandwiches are popular for weekday commutes, weekend brunches, sports events, and as a quick post‑workout meal for fitness enthusiasts.
