Lazy Weekend Morning Breakfast Sandwiches



There is no real recipe involved here, per se. This is more just an excuse to post G’s mouth watering pics of one weekend morning’s riff on the delicious breakfast sandwiches we love to get at our favorite brunch joints.

Simply cook up a few slices of bacon and scramble up some eggs. Make sure to season the eggs with salt and some of your favorite spices. Egg scrambling is usually G’s department and his spice mix of choice for all things egg is Cavender's All Purpose Greek Seasoning . Melt the cheese of your choice onto an onion roll. (A bagel would also be great.) Here we used a little goat cheese and baked it lightly onto the roll in the toaster oven. Then just pile the scrambled eggs onto your cheese roll along with the bacon and tomatoes slices. Some condiments are also usually in order to keep the whole thing from being too dry. I like a little mustard or Wasabi Mayo from Trader Joe’s.

For my sandwich, I made a slightly less caloric version by using high-fiber bread in place of the roll. (I will also often use and English muffin.) I used a little less bacon on mine and I added spinach for an extra veggie boost. Of course, you could also swap in egg whites for whole eggs.

In just a few minutes you have a restaurant worthy brunch that you can eat in your PJ’s, and it requires little more effort that toasting bread and scrambling some eggs.
