I had a few friends visit for Halloween, and there’s two things that hungover people with glitter still lurking on their faces don’t want to do the morning after a bar crawl: Go outside; and spend more money.
I cooked up four of my signature breakfast sandwiches. I felt like a private chef making such a big batch. My friends and I sat in near silence on the floor, devouring them alongside our Keurig coffees, or taking swigs out of a gallon of orange juice.
“This is literally better than any sandwich I could go buy right now,” my best friend Taylor Herne said. “You’re lucky I don’t live closer, because I’d be annoying you every morning for one.”
As a vegetarian, my breakfast is where I get almost all my daily protein, so mine are huge, filling, and sustain me until dinner, or until my awkward 4 p.m. snacklunch, if I can’t make it that long.
I call this an “omelet sandwich.” I toss spinach, tomato and onion into my eggs, but you should feel free to toss in anything you would order in an omelet.
The bread is open to interpretation. This sandwich is crazy on sourdough, but it’s also great on bagels, ciabatta, croissants or plain old white bread.
The world’s most perfect breakfast sandwich is best enjoyed with friends or a partner, but also really great wrapped up in tinfoil and eaten at work during morning contemplation hour.
WORLD’S MOST PERFECT BREAKFAST SANDWICH
2 slices of sourdough bread
2 eggs
1 slice of white American cheese
Hot sauce
Splash of milk
Chopped onion
Diced tomato
1 stalk sliced green onion
Chives
Spinach
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder
Scramble two eggs, a splash of milk, salt, garlic powder and dried chives into a cup. Pour them into your pan, and quickly distribute small handfuls of chopped onion, diced tomato and spinach. Cook on medium heat until everything is soft and fluffy.
While eggs are cooking, toast your bread. Once it pops, spread about a third of an avocado on one slice, and crack some pepper onto the avocado.
Top the toast with sliced chunks of green onion. Fold up your eggs and put them on top.
Place your cheese slice on the egg, and add a few generous drops of hot sauce on top of the cheese. Add your other slice to the top.
