Bagels recently added to its sandwich menu with the 'No [Yolk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-substitutes) Sandwich,' which is made with just cage-free egg whites rather than a whole egg. Some of the other ingredients that go into the making of the sandwich include: turkey bacon, tomato, avocado and a roasted tomato spread. The sandwich is served on an [ancient grain Thintastic bagel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breakfast-bagel-sandwich), which adds to the flavor experience and texture. Alongside the all-new No Yolk Sandwich, Einstein Bros. Bagels has also added to its menu with another sandwich, the Cheesy Wakin’ Bacon Sandwich, which also features cage-free eggs. With many consumers putting their energy into healthy eating, especially with the start of a new year, many are strictly sticking to the consumption of egg whites, as the yolks are perceived to be high in cholesterol. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Healthy Eating:** The trend of consumers focusing on healthy eating opens opportunities for innovative egg-based products, like yolk-free egg sandwiches. - **Cage-free Eggs:** The increasing demand for cage-free eggs creates opportunities for companies to offer cage-free egg products in their menu offerings. - **Ancient Grain Bagels:** The trend of ancient grain products offers opportunities for incorporating unique and wholesome ingredients, like ancient grain bagels, into sandwiches. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fast Food:** Fast food chains can capitalize on the trend of healthy eating by offering yolk-free egg sandwich options that cater to health-conscious consumers. - **Grocery Retail:** Grocery retailers can tap into the cage-free egg trend by partnering with egg suppliers to offer a variety of yolk-free egg products, including sandwiches and other ready-to-eat items. - **Bakery:** Bakeries can explore the use of ancient grain ingredients, like ancient grain bagels, to create innovative and nutritious sandwich options for their customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [French Toast Bagel Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maplehouse-egg-sandwich.md) - [Egg-Free Breakfast Sandwich](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-breakfast-sandwich.md) - [Egg Mousse Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eggcado-breakfast-sandwich.md) - [Lean Protein Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-white-chicken-breakfast-sandwich.md) - [Protein-Packed Egg Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egglife-foods-1.md) - [Extra Large Breakfast Burritos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-breakfast-burrito.md) - [Bodega-Style Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-cheese-bagel-breakfast-sandwich.md) - [Chorizo-Filled Breakfast Burritos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chorizo-breakfast-burrito.md) - [Maple Bagel Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-flavor-fling-combo.md)
