Available all day long, guests can order the Breakfast Slinger in three delicious ways to satisfy breakfast cravings and fuel the day. Starting at just 250 calories, the Egg and Cheese Breakfast Slinger is topped with melty cheese over fluffy eggs between a buttery, bakery-quality brioche bun. Those needing extra protein can order with crispy bacon or savory sausage.

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and there’s something mouthwatering about starting with the perfect flavor combination of light, fluffy eggs with savory, melted cheese,” said Scott Uehlein, vice president of product innovation and development for SONIC. "Consumers are looking for a smaller breakfast sandwich, so we focused on finding the right portion size – something that is going to completely satisfy you without slowing you down. You can enjoy the Breakfast Slinger any time of the day, and it goes great with a Green Mountain Coffee Roasters^® coffee in the morning for one powerful breakfast.”
