Ya know those days when you’re sitting there, not wanting to cook or go out and nothing delivery sounds good? Oh, and it’s raining? This is what we have. It’s filling, hot, easy on the stomach, and tastes as good as a ribeye. There’s never a bad time for an egg sandwich.

Steps

1

Fry a couple of pieces of bacon or use leftover bacon recrisped. While you do that, gently scramble your eggs in a dap of butter and maybe a spoonful of that bacon fat in the skillet the bacon is in. Toast and mayo your bread. Slide the egg onto the bread, add the cheese and bacon and top it with the bread. So easy and so comforting. I served ours with broccoli slaw.
2

My egg winds up thick like that because I use a small, nonstick pot to scramble my egg in. It makes it perfect sandwich sized.

I'm an army brat with a Cajun mother and an Irish dad. I'm married to the love of my life, David, and we have 2 daughters and 2 grandchildren. I've been a barber for 40 years. Im an old fashioned, old school cook and my recipes are basic. I change them up all the time.Since finding out I’m diabetic I’ve had to rearrange old habits. Any recipe I have can be made the old fashioned way OR replaced with lower carb options. Just ask and I’ll tell you what has worked for me.I’m the self proclaimed queen of the leftover. I have issues with leftovers looking back at me with the same sappy look they had the day before. Can’t do it. My super power is turning what I find in my fridge into something I want to eat. I work so much better under pressure. I live for shortcuts and not having to run to the grocery every day. Work with what you have. Adapt and overcome. Also, the less dishes, bowls, and pots I hafta use, the better. Hope some of these recipes work out for ya!
