The Ultimate Breakfast "Sandwich"
Split a "Bollito" (large Mexican version of a French Roll).
Lightly butter one side and cover the other side with sharp Cheddar. Heat in 350F oven until the cheese melts and the crust becomes "crusty" Meanwhile, gather: sliced ripe tomato, a couple of slices of crisp bacon, a slice of "fried" ham, and a gently fried egg "over medium" (That's what the leftover bacon grease is for!). Assemble: Tomato atop bacon atop cheese, then ham then egg (liberally sauced with a good jalapeno/tomatillo salsa verde), then the buttered top of the roll. Eat quickly, leaning forward, and hoping that any runny yolk is absorbed by the roll. |
I make a variation of this once or twice a week and not always just for breakfast - I've never used bacon and ham, however - just one or the other. Sometimes, I use a toasted bagel, sometimes an English muffin. If I'm doing low carbs, I'll use sandwich thins or make it open face. The cheddar has to be extra sharp and the egg has to be runny. :)

Sounds absolutely delicious. I usually have mine without runny yolks for portability purposes but the yolk is a good touch.

Ful might be my favored breakfast sandwich. Had it about three times a day, err, morning, in Egypt.

Stop into any deli in NYC and ask for a baconeggandcheese on a roll. (Yes, the bacon, egg and cheese is all lumped together as one word). With a regular coffee.
Sometimes a novice will ask for it on a bagel. They soon discover that the hole can make things messy! |
Both a breakfast and supper sandwich. i've been really impressed with some Oscar Meyer American style bacon I've recently discovered in the UK. It's a sort of dry cured smokey streaky bacon, thickly cut that you can fry, and it produces lots of fat which I pour off and save for other things.
I chop the bacon up and fry it with some fine chopped red onion, let it cool, mix it with some grated Red Leicester cheese which I top on some toast that I've buttered and put a smear of Dijon mustard on and then put it into an airfryer for a minute or two. That cooks the toping and crisps the toast. It's a sort of croque but with no egg in the mix, so no souffle. I keep a cup of the topping in the fridge for another night. It is lovely. |
Bread is a rare treat for me, so I seldom eat sandwiches, but I cannot refuse a super fresh, high quality, toasted bagel (preferably sesame) topped with good cream cheese, a bit of thinly sliced onion, a pile of lox, and loads of capers.
Yum. |

I love nothing more than a good BLT with American streaky bacon done really crisp on toasted bread.

come in to any deli in nyc and ask for a sausage or bacon egg on a roll. for most of us on the go, this is our ultimate no fuss bfast.

As one who can barely hit the "brew" button on my automated coffee station in the morning while remembering to put the coffee cup under the spout, this is waaaay beyond my 8:00am capabilities.
In one pot, I'll sauté: chorizo vegetarian chorizo (keeps the recipe healthy(er)) diced chilies (Serrano or Jalapeno, as well as poblano) diced onion then add: sliced mushrooms & sauté for a bit more then add: 1 can of refried beans (I really like black beans (lowfat, tons of flavor) but will use fat free pinto as well) 1 cup of shredded cheese. The whole concoction becomes goop which is DELICIOUS on a tortilla. The goop becomes firm when put in fridge, so I scoop a bit out the following mornings, place on a tortilla, nuke the tortilla & mixture, and there you go, a tasty breakfast taco in less than 1 minute for my weekday breakfasts. The beans and chorizo have the satisfying protein that I crave in the mornings. |

I'm one of those people that delights in good vegetarian meals but cannot stand any "vegetarian" meat-esque products. If chorizo goes in, it's going to be the real deal :). But thanks for the recipe idea! As far as the "classic" baconeggandcheese on a roll, it can be elevated even more by adding chili. Just make sure the roll is up to the task. |

How about a Grand Slam sandwich? It's like a McGriddle but even better...
