Don loves a good hearty breakfast, but sometimes I am so busy trying to get us out the door it can be a challenge to get breakfast done too.
I've found a little prep work, as well as a little help from some convenient frozen waffles goes a long way!
Tip: Pre-make the bacon. I line a baking sheet with heavy duty foil, place the bacon strips in a single layer and pop the baking sheet in a cold oven. Then turn on the oven to 400°F. and set the timer for 17 minutes. Done! Easy peasy clean up too!
When the morning rolls around, and I need to make a satisfying breakfast quickly, I already have the frozen waffles and bacon ready to go. I just need to scramble up some eggs...
Our friends gifted us with some farm fresh eggs recently! I love the varying colors and farm fresh eggs have such wonderful flavor!!
For scrambled eggs, I usually toss in whatever I have on hand that sounds good. I usually have pre-chopped onions and peppers, so I definitely add those and we love spinach in our eggs too. I beat the eggs, toss in some onions, peppers, and spinach and pour it all into the pan. I cook the eggs on medium for about 4 to 5 minutes until cooked through. Then I add salt and pepper and they're ready to go!
While the eggs are cooking, I get my other ingredients ready. I pop the frozen waffles in the toaster and heat the bacon in the microwave. It's also a good time to get out the cheese to have it ready to go too!
Breakfast On-the-Go Egg Sandwich
Published 10/06/2014
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped bell pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 slice thick cut, pre-cooked bacon, heated
- 1 slice of your favorite cheese
- 2 Aunt Jemima Frozen Waffles, toasted
Instructions
- Beat 2 eggs. Add 1 tablespoon chopped onion, 1 tablespoon chopped bell pepper, and 1/4 cup fresh spinach. Heat a nonstick skillet to medium and toss in a slice of bacon to heat. Remove bacon.
- Toast the waffles.
- Pour egg mixture in to skillet and add 1 tablespoon butter. Cook, stirring, until cooked through. About 4-5 minutes.
- Squish the scrambled eggs together. You can use a mold if you like. A one cup measuring scoop works well. Fill the measuring scoop 1/2 full with scrambled eggs and press down to squish them in there good. Gently pry out the egg mold onto the toasted waffle. Top with bacon, a slice of cheese. I like to place this under the broiler until the cheese melts. About 30 seconds to a minute. Then top with the remaining waffle and enjoy!
Prep Time: 5 mins.
