North American fast food chain Wendy's has officially launched a new breakfast offering called the Egg BLT. The new menu item unites the worlds of breakfast and lunch to deliver a delicious sandwich made with a fresh Canadian egg, melty cheese, Applewood smoked bacon, and greenhouse-grown tomatoes and lettuce. All of the toppings are sandwiched between two flaky croissant buns, making this item a delicious choice for morning commutes,
The Egg BLT will be available during breakfast hours at all participating Wendy's locations across Canada. The sandwich can be ordered as a combo or individually and it is only available for a limited time. The croissant is rumored to have over 120 layers of flaky goodness.
