Starting the day off right starts with nutrition. My go to recipes for breakfast are a bacon, egg & cheese sandwich for a quick and easy meal or French toast if you have a little more time.
Bacon Egg & Cheese
- The bacon can be cooked on a baking sheet lined with foil (for easy clean up) at 375 degrees in the oven for 30-40 minutes flipping half way until it’s cooked to your desired doneness and then stored in the refrigerator.
- Before discarding the foil put the bacon grease from the sheet pan into a heat safe cup and store in the refrigerator until you are ready to make the eggs.
- To cook the eggs put a spoonful of bacon grease into a cast iron skillet and cook on medium heat until the egg whites have firmed up. Flip the egg at that point for 10-20 seconds. Remove the egg from the eat.
- While the eggs are cooking pop your favorite bread/bagel into the toaster
- To warm up the bacon pop the bacon in the microwave for 20 seconds.
- Once everything is cooked lay the bacon on the bottom piece of bread/bagel, stack the egg on top of the bacon and finally any piece of cheese. Top with the last piece of bread/bagel.
- Eat and enjoy!
Pro tip: Choose a clear container to store your eggs to ensure you never run out.
