How Long Do Breakfast Sandwiches Last In The Fridge?

Breakfast sandwiches can last up to 5 days in the fridge when wrapped tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Everything is cooked so you can eat these sandwiches cold, but they are far better served warm! So, how do you reheat breakfast sandwiches?
