Breakfast Sandwich


Easy breakfast sandwiches for two - this takes about 15 mins total.

  • 1/4 cup flour - half Whole Wheat
  • 1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • pinch Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 cup Milk - 4 Tbsp 
  • 1 Egg - 1/4 in batter, 3/4 mixed with a bit of milk and fried in rings
  • bit of Butter, total 1 Tbsp
  • 2 slices baked potato, or very thin slices raw
  • 2 small leaves of chard
  • 2 slices of cheese
  • Fresh fruit - split half a grapefruit or banana

  • griddle
  • measuring cups/spoons
  • serrated knife
  • spatchula
  • plate

  • stretch, how does it look outside? assemble ingredients
  • make coffee, heat griddle - medium/5, set table or ready to-go bags/coffee travel cups
  • melt maybe a half tsp of butter, mix batter with enough milk so it's pretty thick, add melted butter to batter, put on potatoes
  • butter rings and start cakes, if they don't puff up quick turn up heat, if the griddle is smoking turn it down, stir a bit of milk into remaining egg - maybe a tsp if it's a big egg
  • when each cake bottom is dark brown, probably 2-3 mins, butter griddle, flip cakes and remove ring
  • how are the potatoes? you may need to pull them off onto plate for a bit so they don't dry out or burn
  • good time to feed the cat, etc
  • when cakes are done, turn down heat to 3, pour eggs into rings and cook for just a few seconds until set
  • remove rings, flip eggs, add s&p and melt cheese on them
  • remove griddle from heat and briefly warm chard
  • turn off stove or you may forget
  • put eggs on plate, split cakes with serrated knife, toast the insides a bit  
  • assemble and serve with fruit and coffee, or bag it up and go to work!

  • have not tried reheating these
  • you could change flours and flavor the batter for different kinds of quick sandwich breads - try with a bit of yogurt, or rye and ground caraway seeds, all whole wheat ...
  • If you don't have a griddle, a non-stick or iron pan would be fine
  • Use fresh, healthy ingredients that you like
  • Have a great day
