Mini Breakfast Sliders

I love making quick egg sandwiches in the morning for breakfast. They are fast to make and healthy. I made mini slider egg sandwiches one morning because I wanted to make something easy and different. These little sandwiches are great to eat on-the-go or even at night when you want a breakfast treat. This recipe serves one person. Though, you can easily increase it to serve multiple people.

Mini breakfast sliders. Yum!

Ingredients

• two spinach leaves
• mayonnaise or miracle whip
• one egg
• two slider rolls
• salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Toast slider rolls in a oven on 375 degrees till the bread is slightly brown. Do not let the bread toast too long  in the oven because the bread can easily burn. I recommend only toasting the bread for a minute.

Next, cook one egg. I prefer to cook eggs quickly in a microwave for sandwiches to save time. First, spray a cereal-size bowl with cooking spray. Crack open one egg and whisk it in the same bowl. Cook the egg for a minute and a half in  the microwave. Check on the egg and be sure the egg is fully cooked and not runny. If the egg is still runny, cook the egg for another half a minute.

Finally, prepare your sandwiches. First, add as much mayonnaise or miracle whip to the slider rolls. Then, add one spinach leave to each roll. Remove the egg from the bowl and cut into four pieces. Place two pieces onto each slider. Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy your meal with a hot cup of coffee or juice. 

Easy Huevos Rancheros

I love spicy eggs for breakfast. This recipe is a simple way to make huevos rancheros at home. My recipe makes one large breakfast.

Ingredients

Huevos Rancheros. My breakfast.

• 2 eggs
• 1/8 cup of fresh chopped tomato
• 1/8 cup of chopped white onion
• 1 or more tbsps of roasted, pickled, or fresh chopped jalapeno peppers
• 1/8 cup of water
• 1 tbsp of tomato paste
• 1 tsp of garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp of salt, or as much as needed
• 1 tbsp of fresh cilantro
• 1/8 cup of mozzarella cheese 

Preparation 

Ranchero Sauce

First, add chopped tomatoes, onions, and jalapenos to a warm non-stick skillet with a bit of olive oil on medium high heat. Allow everything to saute for two minutes. Then, add the water, tomato paste, garlic powder, salt, and cilantro. Continue to cook for five to seven minutes or until the water and tomato paste form a thick sauce. 

Adding eggs

Once the sauce is thicker, make a opening in the center and add two eggs unbeaten as shown in the picture. Place in a preheated 400 degree oven for 5 minutes.

Adding cheese

Then, add mozzarella cheese along the top. Place pan back  in the oven for a 3 more minutes if you want your eggs soft/runny or continue to cook for 10 minutes for a hard yolk. 

Serve warm with a corn tortilla and garnished with fresh cilantro. Enjoy!!    

My Morning with Egg Scramble

I woke up extremely early. My cats are screaming and wanting inside to annoy me for food at sunrise. Those bastards. But, what's new. I was trying to keep them quiet to let my husband sleep some more because he went to bed at 4 and had to be up and ready to leave at 7:30. So, I tried to back to sleep on the couch. The cats are pawing at me for about an hour and, I am trying to ignoring them. Of course, I never got back to sleep. Tired...  

Then, my husband's alarm goes off and, he is up getting ready. I am helping him get some breakfast. I feed the cats and the dog. 

YAY! Time for some peace… I have the house to myself. I just wanted some quiet. 

Well, I begin by making coffee. Then, I decide I want to make some eggs with onions, tomatoes, and some sausage. I am starving. I begin prepping the ingredients for my breakfast. I enjoy cooking so I am in a happy spot. As I am cooking, I begin thinking about major events that are going to happen soon in my life. Two major events are that I am starting student teaching and, I am graduating in December. I am really excited about graduation for sure. But,  student teaching… I am scared about it. Student teaching is either when you learn you love teaching or when you learn you hate it. I hope I enjoy it. The teacher I am working with is really nice and, the school is really nice too. Those are some positives. Still I am stressed. 

Anyways, I finish making my egg scramble. I am ready to sit down to enjoy it. I am envisioning quietness while I am cruising the web,  reading  the news, playing on facebook, and whatever else. I just want some me time. 

I set my breakfast on the arm of the couch. My dog jumps up on the couch too to sit with me. But, he knocks over my plate and, my breakfast is all over the carpet. He runs over and starts to eat all of it! WTF! I am pissed. My dark side appears and, I am screaming for him to get away. I am furious with the situation. The cats are crying to go outside because they know I am crazy when I am mad. I swear! My breakfast is on the carpet and, my dog has just enjoyed a second meal. I have not even had one. I still do have coffee. At least! Sigh... Still hungry. Grr.. 

Anyway, I took a picture of my first made breakfast. I did eat a bite and, it was pretty tasty. I guess.. I will try again. At this point, I think heading to a breakfast place is the best choice.  I am starving and yet again my journey for my breakfast is still a journey... 

What could have been a delicious breakfast. :(

The egg scramble was easy to make. Slice up some onion, tomato, and a little sausage or whatever meat you want. Bacon would have been better. Put a little olive oil in a pan. Put the meat in the pan to brown a bit once the pan is hot. Add the veggies. Let the veggies cook a few minutes. Then, beat up two eggs and add those to the pan. Allow the eggs to cook and scramble everything together. Add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy! 

Everyone, I hope you enjoy your morning and, it is better than mine.
