Burger King Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich

About the Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich

The Burger King Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich costs £4.99 and carries 491 kcal. A true breakfast favourite. A sausage patty, crispy bacon and fluffy egg altogether in a brioche bun. Served with your choice of ketchup or brown sauce. It sits in the breakfast section of the UK menu, alongside 11 other items.

The nutrition panel shows 31.3g of protein, which is 63 percent of a day's reference intake, 22.7g of fat, 8.4g of it saturated, 2.16g of salt, 36 percent of the 6g daily maximum, 10.3g of sugar. Salt is the figure worth watching here, since one item takes a large slice of the daily limit before anything else is ordered.

At 222g the Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich works out at roughly 221 kcal per 100g. That makes it about average for hot fast food, so the portion size is a fair guide to how filling it is.

Against the rest of the breakfast range it ranks 10 of 11 on price, so it sits toward the pricier end. Nothing costs less than Hash Browns at £1.79, and Breakfast King at £6.49 is the ceiling.

On calories it lands 298 kcal above the breakfast average of 193 kcal. The closest thing to it on the whole menu is Breakfast King at 506 kcal, which is a useful swap to know if you want the same sort of number in a different form.

The declared allergens are soya. It may also contain gluten, wheat, milk, egg, sesame, celery through shared preparation, which matters more than the headline list if you are avoiding something strictly. The list is the brand's own, made against the fourteen allergens UK restaurants must declare. It describes the recipe rather than the branch, and branches differ.

Put beside the rest of an order, Cappuccino at £2.89 and Espresso at £1.99 sit in the same section and are the obvious companions. The calculator adds the calories as you build the order, and the price list covers everything not named here.
