Breakfast Rueben

A spin on the regular Rueben Sammich.

Start your oilin engines!

Usin some Havarti Cheese, onion, mushrooms, and rye bread in this pic.

All sliced!

Getting all nice and sauteed…

Drop in them eggs…

Toast that rye bread…

I did not have any Thousand Island dressing so I decided to make a little mixture of my own. Used a sweet onion dressing [almost like a honey mustard], and then I added ketchup. I also added a little cocktail sauce for a little kick.

Spread the spread and line up the cheese on ze toasted bread…now for the stacking…

BAM! Sauerkraut, romaine, corned beef, and all the other mixtures are stacked up onto the samwich.

Sliced up an orange and banana to go with it…

Little closeup shot…


I really need to start cooking for someone else to get some feedback on the taste of the stuff. It tasted pretty good to me, but who knows how it tastes for other people. Hopefully y’all can be inspired to make a dish along the lines. I actually made this for breakfast a few days ago. I got another blog to come up here on the fried chicken bowl I made this morning…in the meantime, hope y’all are having a good one!

Breakfast burrito experiment: Walnuts

Start yirr sauteein engines ladies and gents!

Get out all them ingredients you gon’ need. Today, I used tomaters, ernions, garlics, bacons, and walnuts in my egg mixture.

Drop in them onions. It helps when the oil is hot when you drop in that which you want to fry. A good way to tell is the immediate sizzling the food will make when it hits the oil. Listen closely to the sizzle as well, you don’t want to immediately burn the outside of the food you’re dropping in the oil. It’s gotta cook all the way through.

Dropped in the walnuts and the garlic next…

Then dropped in the bacon…

Then to the eggs…I ended up adding one more egg in the process, using 3 eggs total. I knew it would be a long day.

Let the egg cake get to a firmer consistency then added the tomatoes and flipped it. I forgot to take a picture because I was setting up the wrap. Oopsy poopsy!

Once flipped, reduce the heat so you can prepare the rest of the feast while the egg heats all the way through. It is very easy to overcook the mixture and have a burnt egg breakfast burrito.

Same set up as yesterday, yummy fresh spinach and white American cheese in a lavash wrap.

Slide the egg mixture on for wrapping purposes and roll right up. I added some parmesan cheese for good measure.

For the final product, I cut up half a banana, made a pile of craisins, walnuts, and raisins, and grabbed a nice knot of Challah bread to dip into my coffee. Turned into a very filling breakfast for a long day ahead.
The idea of adding walnuts into the mix stemmed from, 1) loving walnuts 2) asian cuisine. I often enjoy dishes with nuts in them, e.g., cashew chicken, kung pao chicken, and walnut shrimp. Nuts seem to add a sort of meaty texture to the mix and a nice depth. The walnuts were a nice addition to this burrito. I really like walnuts so that my be why I was partial, but I encourage you all to break some standards when throwin down in the kitchen.

Anyone have any ideas they would like to see? I’m always willing to play Chef Guinea Pig =D

Belated Breakfast Burrito

Start heating some olive oil in a pan.

I pulled out bacon, onions, and garlic for the egg mixture.

I started sauteeing the onions first and then I threw the bacon and the garlic in as well.

Add the eggs…

Scrambled the eggs some and then I added sliced tomatoes at the last second…this pic is after I flipped the egg patty.

Lavash bread with white american cheese.

Add some fresh spinach…

Drop in the egg mixture and wrap it all ups$

Served it up with some bagel thins spread with craisin walnut cream cheese and banana slices. Had a nice cup of coffee to accompany the meal since I can’t go a morning without my cup (or two).

I chose to keep the spinach fresh in the wrap because the buttery crunch of the spinach adds much more texture. Also, the spinach helps take on some of the juices of the egg mixture keeping the wrap from being too moist.

So what did y’all have for breakfast?
Fashion sometime soon =D
