Pick & Roll Egg Sandwiches
As demonstrated in the “Pick & Roll” episode of Live It – March 2019
Ingredients
Pick an ingredient from each category and roll with your own creation!
- Bread: English muffin, bagel, bagel thin, biscuit, toast (preferably 100% whole grain)
- Bell pepper: Red, orange, yellow or green (or any shade in between!)
- Egg: Over easy/medium/hard, scrambled, or just the whites
- Cheese: Cheddar, Swiss, Pepper Jack, Colby, provolone, Gouda, muenster, Havarti, mozzarella or any other natural cheese (try to avoid pasteurized processed cheese product)
- Meat: Ham, bacon, sausage, turkey sausage, deli meat
- Toppings: Butter, avocado, spinach, arugula, onion, guacamole, tomato, pesto, hot sauce, chives, cilantro, sautéed greens, grilled zucchini or eggplant, sundried tomato, olive tapenade…the possibilities are endless!
Instructions
- Toast bread, and butter if desired.
- Cook or heat meat per package instructions.
- Cook egg as desired, or for a fun variation, try slicing a bell pepper into ½” thick rings. Place pepper ring(s) on a greased non-stick griddle or frying pan. Crack egg into the center of each pepper. It will look like the eggs are in a little pepper nest! Cook the egg/pepper until the egg is firm on the bottom. Flip to cook the other side. Cook until the egg is set to your liking. Top egg with cheese to let the warmth of the egg melt the cheese.
- Build your sandwich with your choice of bread, egg, cheese, meat and toppings. Serve immediately and enjoy!
