Yummy Breakfast Sandwich

Here is a delicious breakfast sandwich that will help kickstart your weekday and help shake off those Monday blues. It is easy enough to put together in a jiffy, in between ironing your shirt and finding matching socks.


To make this sandwich, you just need:

  • One or two eggs; depending how eggy you like it
  • English muffins
  • A tomato slice
  • One or two slices of canadian bacon; depending how bacon-y you like it
  • A few leaves of basil
  • Cheese of your choice, a sharp cheddar would be a good choice.
Preparation time: 5 mins
Cooking time: 15 mins

I was making a few sandwiches at the same time, so you will see me using ingredients for multiple sandwiches in the pictures below.

Lay your cut muffins (cut-side up) on an oven tray, add the slice of cheese on one half and place it in the oven to grill. Don't grill it just yet, just get it ready.

Slice your tomato and season the slice with some pepper, salt and dried basil.


Let the tomato slice rest of a bit. Meanwhile, beat your eggs in a bowl and add some salt and pepper.


Now we are ready to start cooking things. Basically, you need to grill the bacon and tomato, and cook the eggs. I did them as a scramble, but you can do them any way you wish.



When you're eggs are almost done, pop the muffins with the cheese in the oven on your grill setting to get the muffins toasted and cheese melted. Alternately, just toast your muffins if you would rather do that.


Finally, assemble your sandwich. I did Muffin-cheese-bacon-eggs-bacon-tomato-basil leaves-muffin.


Now go start your day feeling energised!

French Toasts

I am always surprised by the fact that French toasts became fancy breakfast. Don't get me wrong it's delicious, but knowing the origin spoils the fanciness a bit.



In France, French toasts are called "pain perdu", which literally translates to "lost bread", and you bake them with leftovers of old bread (1 to 2 days old generally) that you don't want to let spoil and throw in the trash.  It's a dish you have for breakfast, snacks, or even dinner ... having breakfast for dinner is always a hoot.

You can savor them with jam, maple syrup, sugar, Nutella®, or even plain it is as delicious. You can even go a bit further and add bacon and eggs on them ... as you wish.


To make about 6 slices, you will need:
  • One baguette or other old loaf of bread
  • 1/2 liter of milk
  • 3 tablespoons of sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • Some butter to grease the pan (about 1 tablespoon)

Preparation time: 5-10 minutes
Cooking time: few minutes


Start by cutting your bread in slices, as many as you want.



In a saucepan, heat up your milk and sugar. Don't boil it, just warm it up.


While your milk-sugar mixture is warming up, slightly beat your eggs in a bowl.


Once the milk is warm, remove it from the heat.

Melt some butter in a pan.


Everything is now ready to make your toasts.


Dip a piece of bread in the saucepan containing the sugar flavoured milk.


Then dip it in the beaten eggs.


And finally place it on the pan.


After few minutes, turn over the pieces of bread.


Repeat the same process with all your bread pieces.

Enjoy!
