The burger chain’sbreakfast sales have been skyrocketingand have become one of the main draws for customers.

Last year, the chainlaunched two new English muffin breakfast sandwichesavailable with either breakfast sausage or bacon.

This level of perfection is often strived for but rarely achieved.

The look:Tidy and made with care, which is always nice to see.

The cheese looked warm and melty and the edges of the English muffins were a toasty golden brown.

On the positive side, I liked the breakfast meats on two of the sandwiches.

The sausage patty was very savory and flavorful, while the bacon added some great smoky, salty flavors.

I paid $3.99 apiece for the sandwiches.

The look:Big, melty, and hearty.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with Wendy’s brand-new sandwiches, but these looked pretty impressive.

The sausage patty was juicy and full of flavor, while Wendy’salways-good baconworked great in a breakfast format.

Wendy’s egg texture and taste was also miles above the rubbery pucks McDonald’s uses.

My biggest complaints about this sandwich was that they’reveryheavy and the English muffins were way too soft.

A toasty, golden brown English muffin would have added some much needed texture to this sandwich.

The sandwich cost me $4.53.

The look:My first look at this option wasn’t super promising.

The taste:A really savory and satisfying bite that, miraculously, wasn’t too heavy.

Don’t get me wrongthis sandwich wasn’t completely perfect.

I felt that the English muffin was still too soft and needed more time in the toaster.

And even though I loved the cheddar flavor, I wished the cheese was creamier and meltier.

But overall, this was hands-down my favorite sandwich I tried throughout the whole taste test.
