Since the kids are heading back to school, they could benefit from a nourishing meal to hold them over until lunch and, one that will boost their brain power. Here’s a quick sandwich that is easy to make and very tasty. But hey, if you are making even one sandwich, you might as well make enough for everyone including yourself! It’s not that much more trouble and, you won’t regret starting your day this way!
(Recipe below makes four servings.)
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 eggs
- 4 slices fully cooked bacon or ham (Oscar Mayer Fully Cooked Bacon used here)
- About ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 Tbsp. margarine
- 4 English muffins (cinnamon raisin or plain)
- Salt, pepper and onion powder
- 4 individual pieces of paper towel
- 4 pieces of tin foil (slightly larger than paper towels)
In a frying pan, melt margarine. Add eggs and scramble. Season with salt, pepper, and onion powder according to your preference. As soon as eggs look almost done, place bacon strips or ham in pan next to scrambled eggs. Sprinkle eggs with cheese and put a lid on the pan. Turn off burner or put on very lowest heat/simmer. Meanwhile, toast English muffins. Tear off 4 pieces of tin foil and spread out on your counter. Place one piece of paper towel onto each piece of foil. Place about ¼ amount of cheesy egg mixture and, 1 slice of bacon cut in half on top of toasted muffin half and top with other half of the muffin. Place sandwich onto paper towel/foil piece and wrap up quickly to lock in heat. Repeat until you have completed four sandwiches. Breakfast is ready and warm!
Incidentally, the paper towel collects condensation so that the sandwich won’t get soggy. Also, it helps in preventing any mess especially if you plan to take it to go and are driving.
