I don't agree with all of the choices, but I love how he explains his reasoning for everything (except the sauce), which allows you to customize if you disagree. Personally, bacon and sausage is a bit too much, and maple-glazed bacon is too sweet for me. So I'd go with a (thinner) sausage patty and maybe a hot sauce.

@szelokho2574

I think maple bacon is ok that sweetness can be customized to counteract the saltiness of the bacon or sausage. But I do want some spice, so I would probably make an aioli with the eggs given to make homemade mayo with lime juice and hot sauce, so u get that acidity, creaminess and spice all tgt.

I feel like he just chose mayo, then didn't put it in the sauce section. Anyway way to unhealthy for me. I lean much more towards a bacon and egg mcmuffin.

You talk about reducing mess with the bread, but then you're full on yolk... I'd be more worried about that in my car than the croissant.

Same reason he went against the bagel, even though that yolk would be running down the sides of the sandwich way before it ever found its way into the hole underneath.
It's so cool seeing Nick on this channel! I love his new cookbook
Nick telling me to make the perfect Sandwich? Nah imma do my own thing
Italian sausage with a maple bacon seems like an strange pairing.
I would say the sausage patty is too big and I would have painted the syrup on the bacon before I put the brown sugar on it. And a Kaiser roll is a much better choice than a brioche bun. I’m surprised he didn’t even bring that into the conversation.

I like the fact that this is HIS perfect sandwich and it is his opinion but the majority of the comments are disagreeing. This video is not to agree or disagree, it is about his take on this and for entertainment, it is HIS opinion, if you don't want to follow it, then just don't.

Nick, thanks. It's looks so tasty, and for me watching your cooking was very delightfull.
you should have brushed the maple syrup before putting the brown sugar on top so it sticks to it (you brushed it away). 2nd thing, I was like I hope he doesn't break the yolk... just like all media videos, why? just bite it and let it bleed.

Personally, I break the yolk with a fork or something after I place it on the sandwich so that the yolk has time to spread and I get more bites with yolk in it.
Certainly a perfect sandwich, yummy..

I did the same thing haha! Except my reasonings were because he didn't mention Kaiser buns, other methods of cooking the eggs, or about using breakfast sausage patties. Italian sausage isn't my cup of tea first thing in the morning..
So the yolks in the blue eggs have sooooo much flavor. It’s not about just the look!
After watching that am just going to have cornflakes cuz that's too much to do in the morning 😂
Wow! We should use chicken eggs for breakfast?!?!?! Incredible insights in this video.
I would have used sage sausage, but that's just my preference.
I swear, Nick is gonna be the *Nick* Fury of the Chefverse.
Now im hungry!
Isn't that pork sausage undercooked??
Perhaps do have a quick check if your fire alarm goes off!
"You eat with your eyes" Yeah, and I breathe through my fingers too >_>
Breakfast sausage patty not Italian, go for the chicken eggs with the real color since it will be the sauce, nothing on the bacon unless you want to use brown sugar, put a thin layer of homemade grape jelly on your bun if you want something sweet on there... it goes great with salty meats.
what if you put the duck egg in the ring mold?

idk about you but i love a spam and egg sandwich

Bro that was at least 800 calories of butter and Mayo

If you’re using a ring mold what does it matter if the egg is big? It’s going to be the same diameter no matter what so why not use the duck egg?

I can't answer for him, but as someone who regularly bakes bacon, it's about 20 minutes at 375, or 15 minutes at 400 degrees. It cooks slower than it does on the stove, but it cooks more evenly.
