Tim Hortons Egg and Cheese Scrambled Egg Croissant Sandwich
This egg and cheese croissant sandwich is moderate, mainly from the enriched flour, margarine, and yeast.
Fast food is cooked in batches and held warm rather than made when you order it, so it is rarely as fresh as something cooked at home. That matters here because histamine builds up as protein foods sit, which means the same item can affect you differently depending on how long it waited.
This is a scrambled egg sandwich with cheese on a buttery croissant.
-
The croissant does the work — enriched flour and yeast both land moderate, and the margarine used in the dough adds to that, so the pastry base is what nudges this up.
-
The filling is milder — the scrambled egg and the fresh milk and butter in the mix sit on the gentler side, so it is really the croissant setting the level.
A simpler egg option on a plain roll would keep things milder.
