Why Deli Paper Actually Matters For A Classic Bacon, Egg, And Cheese

By MATTHEW LEE
Although it might appear insignificant, the practice of serving bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches wrapped in deli paper profoundly impacts the eating experience of the sandwich.
Made from thin paper treated with a layer of wax, deli paper is crafted for wrapping oily and greasy foods, as the wax makes for a moisture and fat-resistant, non-stick surface.
Since the sandwich is meant for eating on the go, the deli paper allows you to enjoy it without having to worry about cheese oozing onto your hands or crumbs getting everywhere.
The wax’s non-stick property also keeps the cheese from making a sticky mess as you unwrap the sandwich, while the snugness of the paper maintains warmth and prevents sogginess.
