I Made... Breakfast Sandwiches

When we woke up this morning, Will wanted to know what I wanted to do for breakfast. I wasn't really hungry but he said he was starving. I really didn't feel like getting dressed and going anywhere so I offered to make him toast and a fruit bowl. Well, he scoffed at that so I lay there for a little longer mulling over the contents of the fridge. I figured the reason he didn't want toast and fruit is because it wasn't filling enough for him. So I decided to make him a sandwich.

Last week I bought this HEB Bake Shop bread called "Milk n' Honey". It is SO GOOD! It's like the King's Hawaiian bread but like, better. (I know that's crazy talk because NOTHING could be better than King's Hawaiian, but this is sliced bread!). I started off by toasting the bread. Because this bread is so moist, you have to crank up the toaster a little higher than you normally use it. I had mine on 3 for a light toasting of this bread. When the toast was done I put a slice of Swiss cheese on one of the toast pieces so it could start the melting process.

I fork-whisked a couple of eggs together and cooked it omelet-style in a small pan. As soon as the eggs were cooked, I folded the egg over and placed it on top of the Swiss cheesy toast slice. Then I threw a couple of pieces of Boar's Head Virginia Brand ham in the pan and heated them through before placing them on top of the egg. I put the other slice of toast on top and put it in the microwave for ten seconds to melt the cheese a tad more. Will said that it was "really good, Sweetie" twice, so it must be true. Will's sandwich is pictured directly below.

I made a Milk n' Honey toast sandwich variation for Beary too (pictured directly above this paragraph). He is anti-egg, and probably not too keen on Swiss cheese, so I used a slice of Colby for his and three slices of ham before nuking it in the microwave for ten seconds. When I called him to get his breakfast, he was pleased that it was HAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMM! (Ponyo alert). He then proceeded to inform me that he likes his ham cold and his cheese non-melty on sandwiches. I told him to take a big whiff of the warm sandwich (it smelled AWESOME) and try it out. He wound up eating only half of it, but then again, it DID have a lot of ham. I'm just glad he gave it a shot. He's culinarily non-adventurous.

As for me, I had a bowl of Special K Red Berries cereal drowned in Lactose Free milk, and a large navel orange. I have to be in a mood for hot breakfast. It was much too close to lunch time for hot breakfast.
