I love food and especially food that is whole and natural. I have found a lot of substitutions for foods I used to eat that were bad for me that taste pretty much the same. Every once in a blue moon though, I come across something that I just can't substitute. A dish that just tastes like comfort and smiles. Today is my one weekend off a month. When my husband and I get time off together we love enjoying a lazy morning and a yummy breakfast.
About every six months or so I give in to the power of sugar and make our favorite breakfast sandwich. It happened by accident a few years ago and has become a symbol of a mini vacation for us. Not to mention I can reward my hubby for being so open to trying so many new healthy alternatives and sticking with me on the journey. It doesn't have a name, we just call it yummy. Here's what you need for two of these addictive sandwiches:
- 3 eggs
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 Panera Cinnamon Crunch bagels
- 3 tablespoons of organic milk
Cook the bacon to your desired level of crispiness. Toast the bagels. We like to put the bottom hal fin the toaster oven first with the slice of cheddar cheese so it gets melty. Meanwhile scramble the eggs with the milk. Divide the eggs in half and place on the bagel bottoms. Top each sandwich with 2 slices of bacon. Place the top halves of the bagel in the toaster oven. Then place on top of the assembled sandwich. Enjoy!
The crispy sweetness of the cinnamon sugar crunchies goes great with the saltiness of the bacon and cheese. Sure its definitely not a very healthy breakfast, but we can't all be Mary Poppins every day. Moderation for me is the key and when I do eat something this out of the ordinary I'm sure to savor the experience.
