  • Bacon, egg and cheese on sourdough

    One variation on the bacon, egg and cheese breakfast classic.

    Pan-fry or bake several strips of bacon. If baking, place bacon on parchment paper and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. Cook the bacon to your preference, but note that well done bacon is easier to bite in a sandwich.

    Lightly pre-toast two slices of sourdough bread in skillet or using a toaster.

    Melt butter in skillet on medium-high heat and crack one egg into the bubbling butter. Pan fry the egg to taste either sunny-side up or over-easy; we recommend pulling from the heat while the egg still has some runny yolk.

    Have a slice or two of your preferred cheese ready to go to.

    Put one slice of the pre-toasted sourdough in the skillet and build the sandwich layering the egg, bacon and cheese. Add salt, pepper and a moderate swirl of ketchup before covering with the second slice of sourdough. Toast the sandwich for a few seconds; flip to finish. Slice the sandwich in two, plate and serve with ketchup on the side. Enjoy!

  • Caprese and Egg White Breakfast Sandwich

    Bread is optional, if you are looking for a low carb and low cal breakfast try without the bread or bun! In this version we used bagel thins.

    1/2 Pint of grape tomatoes, halved
    1 Tbsp butter
    1 Clove of garlic, crushed
    1 Tbsp chopped basil
    1 Cup of egg whites
    2 Tbsp of shredded mozzarella
    4 Slices of bread/roll of choice

    Saute tomatoes, garlic and basil in melted butter over medium heat. When tomatoes are soft, add egg whites and fold ingredients together to ensure even distribution. Cook until eggs are done and remove from heat. Remember egg whites cook quickly, so keep an eye on them. Add cheese to the hot eggs so that it melts slightly. Load eggs onto bread, cut and serve!

  • Waffles with Fruit and Yogurt Parfait

    This is a great option for hosting a breakfast for a dozen or so people if you have access to toasters. I recently hosted a breakfast presentation at work and laid out the Waffles with Fruit and Yogurt Parfait and it was a big hit with the team. People who wanted a hearty breakfast piled fruit and yogurt onto a waffle, and those looking for a light and nutritious (yet filling) option went with the parfait. One other advantage of the yogurt parfait is how easy it can be enjoyed while participating in a group meeting, no mess. Great for a work scenario or a social brunch on the weekend.

    1 Package of 24 frozen waffles
    1 Bunch of bananas
    2-3 Pints of strawberries
    2 Quarts of yogurt (try to get two flavors to provide options)
    1 Box of Kashi GoLean Crunch (or traditional granola if preferred)
    1 Bottle of preferred maple syrup

    Slice fruit and place into separate bowls with serving spoons. Open yogurt and either spoon into separate bowls or just include spoon and serve from containers as-is. Pour cereal into large bowl and include a spoon for serving.

    On a large plate or cutting board, remove waffles from package and stack them for easy access. Place waffle tray next to or near toasters so that people can easily toast and build their fruit and yogurt waffles.

    For parfait, ideally you can provide glass cups for people to build their parfait, but if glass is not available a regular plastic or ceramic cup will work just fine. With the same ingredients laid out for the waffle, people can make a parfait by taking a glass, filling it with a base of yogurt, adding fruit and then sprinkle cereal on top!
