WHAT: Special K Medley Flatbread Breakfast Sandwiches

STATS: Vary by flavor. The lightest is the Egg, Spinach & Cheese with 170 calories and 7 fat, 21 carbohydrate, 3 fiber, 5 sugar and 10 protein grams. Sold in boxes of four. We found them at Kroger Marketplace, 16105 Chenal Parkway, Little Rock. More information is at specialk.com.

THE SKINNY: There's a "hole" lot new in the freezer breakfast section. Special K, which has had its Flatbread Breakfast Sandwiches (Sausage, Egg & Cheese; Ham, Egg & Pepper Jack Cheese; Bacon, Egg & Cheese; and Egg with Vegetables & Pepper Jack Cheese) out since 2011, has added two sandwiches to its line.

Special K Medley Flatbread Breakfast Sandwiches come in two flavors (Egg, Spinach & Cheese Medley and Bacon & Cheese Medley) and can be microwaved in just over a minute. The main difference is the bread; the more bagel-like medley bread has a hole. And the meat in the bacon version is mixed with the egg, omelet-style, rather than sitting on top.

We liked that the cheese kept its integrity and the sandwich stayed fresh and fluffy after heating. This flatbread did not leave us flat.
