The new Tim Hortons menu features three tasty sandwich options: the Italiano Grilled Bagel Sandwich, the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap and the Farmer’s Breakfast Sandwich and Wrap. The former consists of ham capicola, pepperoni, genoa salami, mozzarella, veggies and a sundried tomato sauce on a grilled bagel. The Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap features crispy chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato and ranch sauce, while the Farmer’s Breakfast Sandwich and Wrap features an omelette, sausage, a hash brown, cheddar cheese and spicy mayo. Each of the new dishes is designed to give consumers more premium options when it comes to breakfast and lunch.
