What is in the Breakfast Slider?
The original breakfast slider at White Castle is made with a steam-grilled beef patty and topped with egg, melted cheese, and onions.
Ingredients
Here is the list of ingredients used to make the bun, beef, egg, and cheese.
Slider Bun
Ingredients:Enriched Bleached Wheat Flour, Water, Sugar, Soybean Oil, Yeast, Salt, Vital Wheat Gluten, Calcium Stearoyl Lactylate, Guar Gum, Monoglycerides, Monocalcium Phosphate, Sodium Alginate, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), and Enzymes.
Beef Patty
Ingredients:100% USDA Beef with salt and pepper added.
Egg
Ingredients:Eggs cooked in Buttery Flavored Oil (soybean oil and hydrogenated soybean oil with salt, soy lecithin, natural and artificial flavor, TBHQ and citric acid added as preservatives, and artificial color).
Pasteurized Process American Cheese
Ingredients:Cultured Milk, Water, Cream, Sodium Citrate, Salt, Sorbic Acid (a preservative), Sodium Phosphate, Artificial Color, Enzymes, Acetic Acid, and Lecithin.
What is TBHQ?
Tert-Butylhydroquinone, typically referred to as TBHQ, is a crystalline antioxidant that is often used in commercially processed foods to block the presence of oxidation in fats.
Oxidation weakens flavor, alters the coloring in food, and can also result in fats turning rancid. TBHQ is thus used to prevent those effects of oxidation, increase the shelf life and reduce spoilage.
TBHQ is an ingredient listed in the White Castle’s egg. It’s found in a variety of processed foods, including pasta, cereal, crackers, microwave popcorn, chicken nuggets and other fried foods.
Allergens
This original breakfast slider is made with egg, dairy, and wheat. The bun includes gluten.
In addition, this sandwich may be prepared in the same kitchen and cooked using the same oil that is used to prepare other foods that contain soy. For example, the beef patty is cooked on a grill with onions and hamburger buns that contain wheat.
Fast Food Breakfast Sandwiches
Most of the breakfast sandwiches we have reviewed contain about 400 to 500 total calories per serving. It is of course dependent on serving size, ingredients, and method of cooking (e.g., fried or baked).
Review the table below for a quick summary of nutrition facts for a long list of fast food breakfast sandwiches. We selected a wide variety of options with a broad range nutritional value and total calories.
While the White Castle Original Slider with Egg & Cheese has the fewest calories of the included menu items, it’s also the smallest sandwich on the list.
One serving of Panera Bread’s sausage, scrambled egg, and cheese sandwich contains over 800 calories. The difference is due in large part to the bread. Specifically, the Panera’s sandwich is served on an Asiago bagel, which alone has 320 total calories.
