Dinner tonight, breakfast tomorrow.


Since Bob and I had leftover biscuits, and hash browns from the Vegetarian Chicken Mug Pies, we bought some eggs at the store, used some leftover ham and cheese slices from the previous week's lunches, and made ourselves some breakfast sandwiches. 

Bob and I are not big breakfast cookers, and Bob is not a big breakfast eater. We enjoy breakfast food, but we rarely take time to make it. I eat cereal or toast for breakfast sometimes while I watch things on the DVR. Bob doesn't do breakfast because he doesn't have time since he wakes up 20mins before he has to be at work. Shower, dress, take out dog, shake awake Elizabeth, leave for work - that is Bob's morning routine. When we do want and have time for breakfast, we usually go out to someplace where Bob can get runny eggs, and I can get pancakes or some fancy scrambled eggs. I don't know how they do it, but I've never had eggs cooked at home that come close to being as good as restaurant scrambled eggs.

The point is, Bob and I are not breakfast pros.

Bob cooked up the hash browns with some garlic, but in the future we'd spice them up with cumin and cayenne. Bob scrambled up some eggs, but the pan was he wrong temperature, he used a spoon instead of a spatula, and the scrambled eggs got all broken up and didn't stay on the biscuit very well. Don't get me wrong, the eggs were good, but we know we can make them better. In the future, we might try using metal, round cookie cutters to keep the eggs in patty form for proper biscuit making. (Note to self, register for cookie cutters)

When it came time to put the sandwiches together, I flopped the ham down in part of the hash brown pan to warm it up. This worked well. We put cheese on the biscuit, ham on top of that, and them the eggs. The next time I make these, I think I will layer the ham, then the cheese, then the eggs, so the cheese is in between the warm ham and warm eggs and can melt a bit.

I'm not hungry, but that looks soooo delicious.

Would these be OK made ahead and served later? Would they keep for a couple days and be able to be heated up in microwave? If yes it would make a great breakfast for Saturday and Sunday. No more Mickey D's for egg mc muffin.
