| - We've been going up to Davidson every Saturday morning for the farmers market and have already checked out Toast for breakfast. So when I saw The Egg also had a Groupon-esque deal I quickly snagged it up and decided we would go one day before hitting up the farmers market. Today was that day.
The Egg is not as "conveniently" located as Toast is, in that it's not in the quaint, cute little part of Davidson. It's about a two minute drive away from that section in a strip mall, but that actually ends up being a perk. When we went to Toast we found a bustling, tight and dark breakfast joint. The Egg is the opposite...there were plenty of open tables while we were there (from 9-10am), the tables were spaced out nicely and it was a bright, laid-back place. We were sat immediately and our waitress introduced herself and got our drink orders less than a minute after we sat down. Once we placed our order, our meals arrived in less than ten minutes. It was ridiculously quick!
I ordered the Tennessee "Benne" ($8.95) which consisted of a split English muffin base (though I substituted for a biscuit...no extra charge) topped with sausage patties, two poached eggs and smothered in sausage gravy. The eggs were cooked well and the sausage and sausage gravy gave a nice peppery spice to the dish. The sausage gravy itself was pretty good, but I found the sausage gravy at Toast to be slightly better. The biscuit was perfect...warm and fresh, light and buttery...pure bliss. I went with homefries for a side and these little taters were perfect! Definitely the perfect side to add to my sausage gravy dish.
The miss' ordered the Eggs Benedict Florentine ($8.95) which contained English muffin (she also subbed in the biscuit), two poached eggs and spinach that is doused in Hollandaise sauce and dusted with paprika. She loved her dish everything was cooked spot on. I snagged a forkful of some egg and Hollandaise and it was pretty darn tasty. She opted for the tomato slices as a side and said it complimented the overall dish very well (I wouldn't know...I'm not a fan of raw tomato or any kind of spinach.)
If you're in Davidson looking for a breakfast joint, I would definitely recommend checking out The Egg. I believe that Toast gets more attention and love, but the food at both places is pretty much equal. The thing that The Egg has over Toast is the location. By not being in that bustling section of town you will have a more peaceful breakfast...it's not as busy, not as loud, no waiting for a table and a bit more personal space are all perks over going to Toast.
