Toasty Tomato and Cheddar Breakfast Sandwich

Don't you just love waking up to the enticing aroma of warm maple syrup and sizzling sausages as your parents prepare a delightfully hearty breakfast?

...Yeah, that never happens to me either.

I've found that one of the simplest yet most enjoyable breakfast concoctions ever to be introduced to man is, in fact, the breakfast sandwich.  I mean, come on: fluffy egg?  Crispy bacon, sausage, and ham?  Creamy cheese all atop a piping hot pancake, waffle, or English muffin?

I imagine the heavens just opened up one day and out came a hot breakfast 'wich, descending gracefully from golden clouds.

BUT ENOUGH OF MY ENDLESS BABBLE.

Since everyone was hungry one morning and I was in the mood to cook, I thought up a simple twist on one of my mom's favorites: the tomato and cheese sandwich.

Toasty Tomato and Cheddar Breakfast Sandwich

Ingredients:

2 eggs

1/8 block cheddar cheese, cubed

1/2 small tomato, sliced thickly

Italian seasoning

Garlic powder

1 slice American cheese (white is better)

1 tablespoon flour or dry pancake batter

2 slices wheat toast

A little butter (for lubricating the pan)

Instructions:

1.) In a small bowl, beat the eggs until completely broken up and combined.  Garnish generously with seasonings, and gradually beat in flour until well mixed.

2.) Mix in the chunks of cheddar cheese.  +1 for awkward alliteration.

3.) Over a medium heat, pour the egg mixture into a light buttered pan.  Stir/flip frequently.

PROTIP: one of my favorite ways to lubricate anything when I cook is to use a stick of butter much like a glue stick.  Just peel a little of the wrapping off and go at it.  Then, when you're finished, make sure there's nothing on the stick and cover it back up.  Simple, easy, efficient.  Works on warm toast, too!  Just scrape the crumbs off, afterward.

4.) When the eggs are done, set them aside (preferably somewhere like the microwave, to keep the heat).

5.) Lay a slice of cheese onto a piece of toast.  Top with a bed of fluffy eggs and tomatoes, and enjoy!

I whipped up, like, four of these within fifteen minutes.  Very easy to make as well as adjust for more or less.  Plus, I'm willing to bet it wouldn't be half bad with some meat or hash browns.

But that's just me.

Well, I'm off to work on my college application essay!!  I'll post some time after I finish working.  Or procrastinating.

Whatever comes first.
