First, let me say to the two people who actually read this blog that I’m sorry I haven’t updated in more than a week! Do you ever have one of those weeks that are so long that you think of things that happened on Monday was actually two Mondays ago? Yeah, long one my friends.
So, I’m back in the saddle again and of course I was in the mood for a fried egg sandwich and had the tasty idea to make a fresh peach, bacon and fried egg sandwich and it was really, really good! I simply smeared a half tablespoon of salted butter on two slices of whole wheat multi-grain bread and toasted. While the bread toasted, I chopped up two pieces of center-cut bacon and cooked in a skillet until crispy. I reserved the bacon fat and then fried the egg until the whites were set and the yolk was still all runny and gooey. I then thinly sliced a peach and placed on the bottom piece of the toasted bread, then sprinkled the crispy bacon on top, followed by the fried egg. I finished the egg with a little sea salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper for spice and topped with the other bread slice. The hint of spice from the pepper, the gooey egg and juicy peach with the crispy bacon were all really good together. In the fall, I could see this being really good with pears too.
I’ve got a pretty interesting menu set-up this week and I’ll let you know what recipes make the cut! Tonight is Beer-and-Beef Chili Sliders on Bacon Biscuits with Tomatillo Ketchup and Jalepeno Popper Mac ‘n’ Cheese from Everyday with Rachael Ray.
That. Sounds. AWESOME.
