Breakfast Sandwich!

The BEST Breakfast Sandwich

What You Need

Bagel thins or sandwich thins (I prefer Thomas 100% Whole Wheat Bagel Thins)

1/3 cup liquid egg whites

Olive oil cooking spray

Sautéed asparagus or broccoli

Mushrooms (optional)

Sliced Swiss cheese

Spicy Yogurt Sandwich Spread-Recipe below

Preparation Instructions

I like to make things as easy as possible when it comes to preparation of this sandwich. Therefore I like to use a round Pyrex dish and a microwave to make my eggs. I know some of you don’t like to use a microwave, but for ease of preparation it is my preferred method. You can also use a sauté pan. That being said I spray my Pyrex dish with olive oil and microwave for 60 seconds (will depend on the power of your microwave) or until the eggs are stiff but bouncy. Be careful not to overcook! While I am preparing the eggs I turn my oven to low broil and toast my bagel in a conventional toaster. Once eggs are done and bagel is toasted I assemble my sandwich. First put the spread on both sides, then egg topped by asparagus covered with swiss. Place on a baking sheet without top of bagel and place in oven to broil for 15-20 seconds or until cheese has melted. Remove from oven and finish assembly with bagel top, slice in half, and ENJOY!!

Warm garbanzo Salad

Warm Chickpea Salad with Cumin & Garlic

4 to 6 servings

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons whole cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes, or to taste
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 15-ounce cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and finely chopped
3/4 cup Italian parsley, leaves only
Small handful fresh mint leaves
1 lemon, zested and juiced
3/4 pound English cucumber
Flaky sea salt

Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet (cast iron is nice) over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and crushed red pepper and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about one minute or until the seeds are toasted. The cumin will turn slightly darker in color, and smell toasty.

Turn the heat to medium low and add the garlic. Cook, stirringly frequently, for about three minutes or until the garlic is turning golden. Do not let it scorch or turn brown.

Add the drained chickpeas and the chopped tomatoes and turn the heat up to medium high. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chickpeas are warmed through and are shiny with oil. Turn off the heat.

Strip any remaining stems away from the Italian parsley. Finely mince the parsley and the mint and toss this with the chickpeas. Stir the lemon juice and zest into the chickpeas.

Peel the cucumber and cut it in half lengthwise. Scrape out (and discard) the seeds with the tip of a teaspoon or grapefruit spoon. Dice the cucumber into small, 1/2-inch square cubes. Toss the cucumber with the chickpeas. Taste for salt. If necessary, add flaky sea salt to taste.

Refrigerate for at least an hour before eating. This salad is best after it has had a chance to sit overnight in the fridge, letting its spices and juices soak together into more than the sum of its parts. Serve slightly warm or room temperature. Really good at any temperature, actually.
