Four Stars: Breakfast Sandwiches

These savory sandwiches capture breakfast's favorite flavors in affordable, all-in-one packages.

Vegetarian Croissant Sandwich

Bongo Room, Chicago. Diners pack John Latino's and Derrick Robles' popular breakfast and brunch spot for creative choices such as this meatless mouthful paired with pan-fried potatoes. Scrambled eggs are piled onto a croissant with Muenster cheese, spinach, tomato, alfalfa sprouts, cucumber, green onions and sautéed mushrooms.

Pork Chop 'N' Gravy Biscuit

Hardee's, multiple locations. A few chains feature fried chicken in their breakfast sandwiches, but St. Louis-based Hardee's is the only national quick-service brand to give fried pork the same treatment. Here, breaded boneless chops blanketed with sausage gravy are a hearty filler for scratch-made biscuits.

Croque Madame

Winston's, Louisville, Ky. Better suited for a knife and fork than for on-the-go dining, this bistro classic elevates ham and cheese to more-indulgent heights. Creamy Mornay sauce enriched with Gruyère cheese is ladled over thick slices of country ham and melted Camembert. The grilled sourdough bread is crowned with a sunny-side-up egg.

Grand Slamwich

Denny's, multiple locations. Customers at the Spartanburg, S.C.-based chain can get all the tastes of Denny's classic Grand Slam meal in one bite of this updated handheld version for $4.99. Sausage, bacon, ham, mayonnaise and American cheese are layered with scrambled eggs between slices of maple-and-spice-buttered potato bread.
