does anyone serve breakfast sandwiches?

I've had people suggest we do English muffin sandwiches. They are easy enough to make, but do they sit on a buffet?
Does anyone do this? Do you wrap them in foil? Do you make them to order? Can they sit for an hour on a hot plate?

Yes! I made them with biscuits - the big ones, sliced in half. Sometimes with country ham, sometimes sausage. I didn't assemble them until it was just time to eat unless we were doing buffet style. I had one of those old fashioned roll warmer baskets to set out for self service ... no more than an hour for health dept regs but I kept replenishing the basket as time went on, held them in the oven on warm if no guests were there ... careful with portioning, some folks were trying for three. Parchment paper, then foil wrapped and a sticker to hold it shut. They are more delicate than might be expected in the biscuit ... confession: the country store made way better biscuits than I did. That's all I'm admitting to.
One day my son got a breakfast sandwich maker as a gift. We all laughed ... ANOTHER appliance! But he loves it and uses english muffins - careful not to put too much egg in it or it spills out. Better to make two then to try to make a super size.
I borrowed it twice for guests to make their own waffles and breakfast sandwiches (adults only because of the heat) I already had two waffle makers ... and I stood nearby. I had bacon, sausage, ham, sliced cheese, eggs ready to go. You have to preheat it and I had a spritz bottle with oil. I hear he now has one that makes two at one go ... and he said he's going to try the mini bagels.

I was thinking of breaking an egg into a muffin tin and piercing the yolk to bake 12 at a time, then assemble with a little apricot jam or maybe honey, ham or sausage and the egg and cheese.
Yours sound very good.

Definitely eggs in muffin tins ... there's a recipe on here someplace I thought
But like this? ... http://steamykitchen.com/16983-bacon-egg-and-toast-cups.html with or without bread
People love this kind of thing.
Maybe someone will post what they do. I think they'd be a real time saver. I had something like that at the Benjamin Prescott Inn in New Hampshire about 15 years ago (long time!) That innkeeper used croissant dough when I stayed.

We do that with bread in the bottom of the muffin tin, partially cooked bacon around the tin, a pinch of shredded cheese, then the egg. People love them.

How about the Monte Cristo we discussed recently. Make as halves instead of a whole

I looked at that as well. I also just found one that is a grilled cream cheese with strawberry jam. Looked pretty good and would last on a buffet.

We did those french toast sandwiches for a long time with the cream cheese and jelly. Not sure how well they would sit.
If you have a covered hot plate steamer thing you could put the sandwiches made with English muffins, eggs and sausage in waxed paper bags for folks to grab and go. Make it easier to take them to the porch.
They'll get a bit soggy so I wouldn't put all of them out at once. Keep them warm in the kitchen oven, then put them in the steam tray.
