The best part of getting out of bed is arguably a warm, toasted breakfast sandwich on a buttery English muffin or a flaky, Southern-style biscuit.

However, what if you've only got a few dollars to spare on your breakfast sammie of choice?

I tried the cheapest breakfast sandwiches from five different fast-food restaurants to determine which one reigns supreme, and which ones were total flops.

The sausage McMuffin from McDonald's and Chick-fil-A's chicken biscuit impressed me the most. On the other hand, I thought Dunkin's egg and cheese English muffin was overpriced, dry, and flavorless.

Chick-fil-A's chicken biscuit impressed me with its flaky, authentic-tasting biscuit and juicy chicken, while the sausage McMuffin from McDonald's came out on top in terms of taste and value.

On the other hand, I thought Dunkin's egg and cheese English muffin was overpriced, dry, and flavorless.
