Breakfast Sandwiches

Dear faithful viewers,

I have not been very dedicated to this blog. I have spent a  great deal of time writing for my work blog at ImIn. Of course, I haven't forgotten about the breakfast love. So I thought that this morning, I would post about one of my favorite things in this world:

The Breakfast Sandwich

Oh yes. I had one this morning (A Dunkin Donuts Turkey Sausage Flatbread is only 7 points in the Weight Watchers World--more about that later). It was sort of tasty (not going to lie...the flatbread tastes like cardboard.)

I've decided to inform you of my top orders at my main breakfast locations for the almighty breakfast sandwich.

In no particular order, here goes.

• Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit with the Round Egg instead of the Folded Egg at McDonald's
• The folded egg is gross. I don't know what they do to that thing, but it is not real eggy goodness
• I sometimes switch this up with the (Sausage McMuffin on a Biscuit instead of an English Muffin)
• Bacon, Egg, and Sun-dried Tomato Cream Cheese on Spinach Florentine Bagel at Einstein Brothers
• Occasionally switched up with Six Cheese Bagel or Asiago Bagel. *drool*
• Turkey Sausage Egg White with cheese on a Croissant at Dunkin Donuts
• Also delicious with additional meat (preferrably back, as they sometimes over cook the sausage)
• Bacon, Egg, and Giardinara Cream Cheese on a Jalapeno Egg Bagel from Jake's Bagels (Aurora)
• Dude this thing is massive. You'll need a fork and knife
• Bacon, Egg, and Cheddar on a Cinnamon Crunch Bagel from Panera
• I occasionally add extra bacon
• This thing is life changing, I swear
• Chicken Apple Sausage, Egg, and Cheese from Caribou Coffee
• No modifications necessary--It's that good

So those are just a few on the list of my breakfast sandwich joys, but try them out. Taaaaasty.  Of course I'm totally missing Potbelly breakfast--they had a pretty tasty breakfast sandwich as well. Wendy's did a terrible job in their brief stint with breakfast. Burger King needs to change the egg that they use. Gross. White Castle is barely edible (but remind me to tell you about homemade White Castle breakfast.

Enjoy!

Apple and Swiss Egg White Omelet with Walnuts

 

So, after two mornings of cold Chinese food for breakfast (taking one out of the BF's breakfast book), I decided it was time for a real breakfast. But what to eat...

After trolling the fridge, I happened upon Amish Baby Swiss, from the Cheese People, of course and apples. These two delightful items happen to go very well together on a regular basis...so I thought to myself, this is a brilliant plan.

I busted out the eggs, and decided on an egg white omelet with apples and Swiss cheese. I chopped the apples into small pieces and shredded the cheese. Let's just say I was very generous with that cheese... :)
I then scrambled up the egg whites (and I cheated a little bit with just a smidge of yolk.)

Then I heated up a non-stick pan with some cooking spray (I don't trust non-stick pans) and tossed in the apples for a little warming. I poured in my egg mixture and let the magic happen.

After a few mishaps with not so perfect omelet gone scrambled eggs, I decided that I'd use this sneaky little trick I learned about omelets. After it was mostly cooked, instead of flipping the whole thing over, I piled on the cheese into half of the flat egg, folded it over, laid it on a plate, and.... I nuked it. Yeah, I put it in the microwave to ensure melted cheese and fully cooked egg... It tastes great that way, I promise. After nuking the omelet, I added a few more apple pieces to the top for garnish.

While I was taking my initial picture of breakfast, I thought to myself, I should add something and I wished I had a little rosemary to garnish it with. But I didn't. So instead, I added some walnuts to my delightful omelet of joy. It was, to say the least, happiness. The walnuts were an excellent decision. Overall, two thumbs up. Fine breakfast fun. I love a good omelet. :)
