Good Morning Breakfast Sandwich

You’ve heard it before and you’ll hear it again: breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Break the fast of a (hopefully) good night’s rest with a hearty meal. Even if you’re on the run like most of us during the workweek, this sammie can tag along without a fuss and give you just the kick you need to start off a great day. Go get ‘em, tiger!

Makes 1 sandwich

Ingredients

• 2 slices of Seeded bread, toasted (any flavor would do just fine, but the seeded adds extra crunch and fiber)
• 1 tablespoon butter or Duke’s mayonnaise (optional)
• 2 slices Canadian bacon, set in a hot skillet just to warm thoroughly
• 1 or 2 eggs, fried or scrambled to your liking
• 1 slice cheddar cheese, or your favorite (optional)
• 1 piece green leaf lettuce, if desired
• 2-3 slices Roma tomato, if desired
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Lay your toast onto a food-safe surface and spread each piece with butter or mayonnaise (if using).
2. Top one side of the toast with the Canadian bacon, then lay on the eggs and cheese.
3. Finish layering the sandwich with the lettuce and tomato, if using, then season with salt and pepper.
4. Place the other piece of toast on top and enjoy or wrap in sandwich paper to eat later.

Notes

• Use cooked bacon, turkey bacon, sausage patties, fried bologna, mortadella, or prosciutto instead of Canadian bacon.
• Fried tofu works great as an egg substitute.
• Try arugula or spinach on your sandwich instead of green leaf lettuce—excellent on any sandwich!
• Sun-dried tomatoes or slivers of roasted red pepper can be used instead of fresh tomato.
