I have tried alternatives. They do sell frozen breakfast sandwiches in store and I have tried two different brands and didn't like either, and of course I can always cook them up myself... The problem with that is I am lazy. I don't mind running/exercising for an hour or more a day but I hate cooking for myself. Finally my mother suggested I make a batch of breakfast sandwiches myself and freeze them, then microwave them one at a time when I want them. Home made food is always better then store bought, right?
I made a small batch of only 4 sandwiches the first time, here is what I used;
- 4 Large Eggs
- 4 English Muffins
- 4 Slices of light cheese
- a little bit of butter for the frying pan
- 4 pieces of paper towel
I beat up the eggs in a bowl with a bit of butter and basically made a big flat omelet. I cooked it thoroughly and cut it in four slices. While the omelet was cooking I toasted the four english muffins. I then placed a quarter of the omelet on an english muffins, and then a slice of cheese. Wrap each muffin separately with a piece of paper towel. Make sure the cheese is cooled so it doesn't stick to the paper!
Now the paper towel was my mom's idea. When I had tried the store bought egg sandwiches they were a bit soggy after I had taken them out of the microwave! The paper towel helps prevent soggyness!
They were good, however the next time I made them I used poached eggs instead and I liked them waaay more, I'm not a big omelet fan! I plan on trying fried eggs next! The best part is they took only 2minutes in the microwave AND they are only 260 calories! Yum!
