Abacon, egg and cheese sandwich (B.E.C.[1]) is a breakfast sandwich popular in the United States and Canada; it is particularly culturally significant in New York City.[2] It is made with bacon, eggs (typically friedorscrambled), cheese and bread, which may be buttered and toasted. Many similar sandwiches exist, substituting alternate meat products for the bacon or using different varieties of cheese or bread.[3]
A typical sandwich with these ingredients has about 20 grams of fat and 350 kilocalories (1,500 kilojoules) of food energy.[4][failed verification][5] A version has been adapted to make a low-carbohydrate meal.[6][7] In the United States, the bacon egg and cheese sandwich has also been modified into a prepackaged food product as a Hot Pocket (170 kcal or 710 kJ and 7 grams of fat) and a Lean Pocket (150 kcal or 630 kJ and 4.5 grams of fat).[4]
