In the morning, it can feel impossible to go downstairs and prepare breakfast. Whether I’m getting ready for work or recovering from a night out, eating is the first thing I want to do when I wake up but the last thing I want to work on. That’s why my latest obsession is a breakfast maker that cooks sandwiches in under five minutes.
This sandwich maker from Hamilton Beach can be used at any time of day, whether you’re looking to make a delicious bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich or a mid-day panini.
The annoyance of having to clean and store kitchen gadgets is usually what turns me off from them (yes, I truly am that lazy). The best part about this sandwich maker, however, is that all of the parts that come into contact with the food you’re preparing slide right out and can be washed in the dishwasher.

Because the sandwich maker stacks and cooks everything vertically, it takes up only 7.3 x 6.3 x 5.6 inches of space, making it ideal for small apartments and kitchens. With a 4.4 out of 5 star rating, reviewers say it truly cut their breakfast preparation time in half or eliminated it entirely. Once all of the ingredients are in place, you can set the timer, walk away, and wait for the beep to pop out your breakfast sandwich and eat it on the go.

When entertaining, one customer wrote that the sandwich maker makes it simple to prepare breakfast for family and friends. “I’ve had this breakfast sandwich maker for over a year and I absolutely love it,” he says. “Whenever family or friends come to visit and stay the night, they all ask me for breakfast sandwiches the next morning because they know how good they are.”
It works quickly because it allows you to layer everything directly into the device. Add your base bread first, then pile on the toppings. If you’re making a breakfast sandwich, this is where you’d put the base bread, cheese, and any meat you want to put on top. Then, on top, there’s a separate plate that’s ideal for cooking an egg while keeping the bread and toppings underneath dry. Close the sandwich by placing the bread topper on top of the egg. Set the timer for four to five minutes, and it will beep when everything is done. Then, slide out the egg separator (it’s nonstick, so nothing gets gunky), and you’re done! You’re ready to go with a perfectly cooked egg sandwich.
