I've been given permission by my family to feed them nothing but breakfast sandwiches. Really.
It started last week. I just wasn't feeling this Garlicky Shrimp from my menu. So, I decided to save it for another day and go with breakfast sandwiches. I knew I had the necessary ingredients on hand from another menu deviation somewhere in the recent past. This really wasn't about cooking so much as assembly, which is exactly what I need at the end of a long work week.
I scrambled one egg for each of us, right in a greased muffin cup. Then I added some shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses to each, and sprinkled them with Lawry's seasoning salt. Then I baked the eggs until set. Meanwhile, I baked some Pillsbury frozen biscuits in the toaster oven, and cooked bacon in the microwave. When everything was done, I built the sandwiches and added a half slice of American cheese. The fam pronounced them glorious.
Then, for breakfast sandwiches round two, I chose these Sausage and Egg Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. I thought the multi-step process would be a hassle, but I was able to make each step go pretty quickly. These, again, got rave reviews. And it's really a simple formula--egg, breakfast meat, cheese, and bread. Done.
I don't know how often I will go to the trouble to actually make either of these varieties for breakfast, but as breakfast for dinner options, they rule.
