What's your best breakfast sandwich

Appreciate it.  Think I'm done.....second in seven years.  This one was actually my ex.  Found each other again after 35 years.

Hate to ask, but what is breakfast?

My lady would do me up a couple eggs and a couple slices of sourdough toast and butter.  Now that she passed this last Saturday, I'm back to not worrying about anything till around noon.

 

GH I'm so sorry for your loss mate.

Taylor Ham... 

 

Pork roll! 

 

I forgot about that north south debate 

Living in PA, I never heard of that divide before my friends in Jersey talked about it.  Over here, we just call it Taylor Pork Roll!

There are some other brands, too, but I don't think they ever sold east of the Delaware.  I've seen some brands that were very local, and were sold in a kind of a loaf or round sausage, that you sliced at home.

Here at home, I usually make oatmeal or Cream o'Wheat for breakfast-not the instant stuff, but either rolled oats, or regular Cream o'Wheat (farina), cooked on the stove.  Water for the oatmeal, milk for the farina.  Cinnamon in both, but also nutmeg and cardamom in the oatmeal.  Sweetened with honey or maple syrup.

But since my company dispersed us in March 2020 and I've worked from home ever since, I sometimes make scrambled egg sandwiches for lunch.  A couple of eggs, some bacon, and a slice of cheese, on good wheat or rye bread.  I cook the bacon, drain most of the fat, then beat the eggs well, add lots of black pepper, and cook them in the bacon fat.  I put the bacon pieces into the eggs and let them cook in.  Beaten well, the eggs will rise a bit.  When they've set, then onto the bread and add the cheese.

 On the road, though, I like to get breakfast a diner.  A pair of dippy eggs, homefries, and scrapple or bacon.  Or creamed dried beef on toast.  Lots of coffee with it.

What breakfast?

 It just hit me, re-read most of the posts and yea we drifted from sandwiches to breakfast in general...lets see if I can't put it back on track.

    Not a one of us mentioned that culinary delight, the master of tasty, the KING of quieting kids......THE PB&J. Who, unless allergic to nuts, can resist a thick layer of sticky peanut butter covered by an equally sticky layer of your favorite jelly, jam, or preserve.......breakfast anyone?

The Jersey standard pork roll, egg and cheese with salt, pepper, ketchup on a kaiser roll always hits the spot for me.

 

I'll see you one of those, but raise you one on a sesame bagel

I like to lightly toast 2 pieces of white bread and add a little Duke's mayo to each. Then I cook 2 eggs over-medium in a mixture of butter and extra virgin olive oil and add some S&P. I carefully cut out the yolks without breaking them and place each one onto the pieces of toast. Once the eggs are on the toast I break the yolks allowing the contents to soak into the surface of the toast a little. All the while, I have some breakfast sausage links cooking on the side. Once done, I lay one across each piece and fold them in half for consumption. 

Now that sounds really good!!! I love a good biscuit.

Goldhammer - My sincerest condolences over the loss of your wife.  Guys have it tougher when they lose a spouse, as a woman can usually get along fine afterwards.  Us guys are usually helpless, having depended on a significant other over the years.  

I used to be a breakfast kind of guy but not so much nowadays.  I do like a poppy seed bagel with egg, cheese and bacon.  You know, the kind of stuff you can find at Einstein Bagels.  I LOVE hash browns though.

Royal Farms chicken, egg & cheese breakfast sub...with honey-mustard sauce.

Or any of Bob Evans' eggs, pancakes, fruit & sausage combos. Sure it's astronomical in salt and saturated fat...but the fruit makes it healthy, right?

Sorry about your loss Goldhammer!  

I haven't been able to eat anything before 10am since my mid teens without feeling naseuous, but on the rare occasion I can eat something I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast chicken sandwich from McD's.

I do love breakfast burritos, just not around breakfast time.  (which makes it challenging finding a fresh one after 10:30 or 11am)

Here's one I learned when I lived in Atlanta:

Country Eggs Benedict:

Fresh baked biscuit, real salt cured Country Ham, poached egg, covered with sausage gravy.  Mighty fine!

 Hi G.H.'

       While my Second Wife and I lived on a Converted C.G. Bouy Tender we ate fish every other day. Funny, I show no signs of Mercury Poisoning, neither did She. Then there was the Shell Fish Scare, Ya know, I am 78 now and I'm going to eat what I like. When I like. And regret it when I am in an Urn!

"You have to remember that the same people who brought us sun block are the same people that told us that eggs were bad.  Then they said that eggs were good.  Then they said that the yolks were bad, but the whites...MAKE UP YOUR MIND!  ITS BREAKFAST!  I GOTTA EAT!

Who knows.  In 50 years maybe they'll find out why we had cholesterol.  It wasn't the steak...it was the sun block." ~ Lewis Black

My favorite breakfast is a big, homemade breakfast burrito with eggs, hash browns, and bacon.  I smother it in homemade pork green chile that uses nothing from a can (except beef broth).  I got to the point where adding 1/2 a pound of Habanero peppers to it wasn't quite giving it enough kick, so I started putting some ground Hontaka peppers in it to get it even more spicy.

It seems like every few years, they say something isn't good for you, then it is, and something else should go away. I remember when everyone said dump eggs, then 3-4 years later they reversed direction and said they were good for you.

I'm with you on that.

Since the conversation has moved off topic from breakfast sandwiches to just plain breakast, here are a few of my favorites.

My wife has a very good recipe for homemade buttermilk waffles,very simple wirh just syrup and either Taylor Ham sausage,or well done bacon. Pancakes from the Union Plaza Diner in NJ French Toast stuffed with sweet cream cheese I hate coffee,so its usually with a diet Pepsi or a diet Dew.

Of course these are not on a regular basis or I'd be dead,most of the time it's cold cereal.

As someone mentioned,from time to time,breakfast for dinner is fun,especially at a favorite diner,or even as a late night snack

Art: I l pray for your loss. I've put you on the Mass schedule for the first available date- September.

Father Murphy: "This Mass is offered in memory of miss Goldhammer".

Looking forward. 

As a son of the Golden West you will appreciate two:

Joe's Special. A breakfast that can't be beat (except see below)

-Fry garlic and onions. Add spinach to skillet and wilt. Dollop with Wus'ter sauce and whatever herbs you have like oregano or parsley.

-Add ground beef and fry till not too pink.

-Wisk together a bunch of good farm eggs, dump into skillet and toss.

- Plate with Pico de Gallo or Tabasco (my way).

Hang Town Fry

-Fry bacon, drain, reserve and crumble.

-Chop a good handful of scallions

- Shuck a half dozen smallish oysters, dredge in flour/ egg/ bread crumbs and fry in oil in your skillet.

- Add onions, soften. Add half dozen eggs and stir up.

-Add bacon, toss on some cheese and serve.

 E cCampus Vitus!

Now it's red meat, in a couple years, it'll be fish or white meat.

I eat what I like and if it kills me, so be it.

Mom used to do rice for dinner, and make enough for the next day.  Breakfast the next day was rice, milk, and some sugar.  Treated it like cereal.

Good for breakfast or a lunch in the field.  Fry up enough bacon crisp to cover a 7-8 inch pancake, crumbled.  Make said pancake in bacon grease.  Crumble bacon and cover pancake, sprinkle liberally with brown sugar, (light or dark).  Roll and wrap in wax paper, foil or clear wrap.

If rolled in foil for a field lunch, can reheat on the engine.

We used to make these for a day out fishing, hunting or rockhounding.

Today it would give your cardiologist a stroke if you told him, but nothing better on a cold wet day to give you some energy to keep slogging on.

 

This was out of an old Gander Mountain cook book from the '60's.

 

GH that sounds super yummy. Speaking of cholesterol, not breakfast food related but my mom used to fry up a ton of super crispy bacon and crumple them over fluffy white rice. She then scooped all the bacon bits in the pan along with some of the grease and poured it over the rice. My mouth is watering right now. She never had heart issues and lived a long life to the age of 91. 

Not my best breakfast sandwich, but.....tonight's dinner? 

Italian Meatball Sandwich 

Breakfast? I do like biscuits and gravy, for one thing.

Certainly not McDonald's any more.  The local store is still operating in full Covid panic mode (most everything else in town is wide open and close to normal), and they have locked closed the restrooms !!!  I would think local ordinances require that all restaurants have public restrooms.

No big deal, I just won't go there any more.

Sorry for your loss GH. I can't get mine anymore.  Steak egg and cheese bagel at McDonald's. 

Cold bacon, mayonnaise on white bread.

So sorry to hear that, mate, my condolences.
