Summer sausage (or other meat of choice)
1 egg
vinegar
butter (or margarine)
onion powder (or onions)
aged cheddar (or your choice of cheese)
marmite
sun-dried tomatoes, the soft kind. (packed in oil is especially yummy)
english muffin or similar carb tray
hot sauce of choice, Tabasco chipotle works nice
Toast muffin, butter, add onion salt, and spread marmite on one half
Add summer sausage, slab of cheese topped with tomatoes to that same half (might want to warm the sausage/cheese/tomato up a touch in micro, to make hotter sandwich)
add a dash of vinegar to a coffee mug, plus about 2 or 3 tbsp of hot water
bring to a boil in microwave
add 1 egg, poke hole in yolk with toothpick or it will explode!
cover coffee mug top with saran wrap, poke 2 or 3 holes in wrap
microwave it at medium setting until done. Our microwave takes 51-55 seconds depending on egg size to give perfect partly liquid yolk.
Drain egg, poke hole and drain yummy liquid yolk onto other half of english muffin, filling nooks and crannies with it, then put egg on it. Top with hot sauce
Combine top half with bottom half, and eat. Have napkin ready.
Mine is simpler still – scramble a couple of eggs while making toast, then put one slice of American cheese on top of the eggs and put between toast. The American cheese has a low melting point so it is pleasantly melty. If you want to use cheddar, put the finished scrambled eggs in the microwave, put slice of cheese on top, then microwave for 3-5 seconds.
Also, if you have hard-boiled eggs, you can slice them and put a little bit of butter or mayonnaise on the toast. Yellow mustard if desired; I like salt and pepper.
Toasted bagel of choice.
Cream cheese
Smoked salmon (dry smoke)
Bacon, fried and crumbled
Red onion, sliced thin
Sliced tomato
Dill weed
Pepper
Smear cream cheese on both bagel halves. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon and smoked salmon, sprinkle dill on top, add onion and tomato slices, top with pepper. Eat open-faced.
Two Eggo waffles.
Garlic mayo (homemade is best, but garlic crushed into Hellman’s will do in a pinch)
Thick-sliced ham
Aged sharp Wisconsin cheddar
Butter
Throw the waffles in the toaster long enough to thaw & warm them a bit; you don’t need them actually toasted.
Slather garlic mayo over both waffles. Top on with the ham and a few slices of the aged cheddar. Butter the outside of the waffles and cook in a pan like a grilled cheese.
1Grand’s biscuit, leftover from last night’s dinner
1 egg, scrambled, made in a circular mold to fit biscuit
Green chili sauce
Shredded cheese, I like Co-Jack
Split biscuit, put scrambled egg on top, then layer cheese over egg. Pop biscuit in microwave just a few seconds to melt cheese. Plop a dollop of warmed green chili sauce on top and cover it all with the remaining half biscuit.
From a good quality unsliced loaf of Italian bread, make two or three slices, not terribly thick. A nice sesame semolina loaf is good for this. Toast them.
Fry two eggs, about over medium.
Lay the toast on a plate. Put the eggs on top. Season with black pepper and a little salt. Grate a goodly amount of Parmesan over the works.
I don’t eat them anymore but you cannot beat Taylor Ham (or bacon if you are not in NJ), a fried egg (fried well) and cheese on either a hard roll or a bagel. Perfection. Some will ruin it with ketchup but just salt and pepper for me please.
Favourite breakfast sandwich: The breakfast burrito.
Large flour tortilla filled with two slices of bacon, two links of Farmer John style sausage, a slice of ham, fried eggs, fried potatoes, cheese, and some of those hot carrot chips. I open them and spread Vegemite on the inside of the tortilla.
At home, an omelette: Three eggs and a little condensed unsweetened milk, whisked, hot pan (heavy bottomed, wide, hot so the olive oil and butter are fizzing but not smoking), topped with a few shaves of blue cheese, some grated mature cheddar, thin slices of spring onion, sprinkles (from high up for more even distribution) of freshly ground sea salt and black pepper, and folded over in thirds.
Served on a thick slice of grilled, whole grain bread and cup of strong tea.
When out: A greasy bacon sandwich in a paper bag, with a sugary coffee in a polystyrene cup.
Broken Egg: crack an egg into a little pan, pierce it with a fork, let it cook on bottom and then flip and finish till it’s done to your liking. (I like hard cooked). Put between two slices of lightly toasted white or Italian bread, buttered. (American cheese and ketchup, or cheddar and hot salsa are two good options for topping.) There’s something so simple and satisfying about a Broken Egg sammitch.
Croissant sandwich: fluffy scrambled eggs, bacon, salt/pepper, lightly toasted & buttered halved fresh croissant (not those croissant-shaped, nasty dough things). You’ll never go back to a “Croissandwich” or whatever that abomination is called.
