Breakfast for Less

Breakfast Sandwich



Bagels in my area run about $2.99 for a package of six.  I just bought a package at Sam's for $2.68.  Eggs were just on sale for .99 a dozen.  Bacon runs about 3.99 per lb.  Cheese singles 1.99 for 16ct. 

Bagel - .45
Egg - .09
Cheese - .12
Bacon - .25

Total cost of a bagel breakfast sandwich $.91.   You cant even get a sausage biscuit at McDonald's for that!

You will need bread (either bagel, english muffin or regular bread), an egg, a slice of cheese (if you like) and some leftover meat (here I've used bacon, but sausage, ham or any lunch meat is good).



The bread takes the longest to cook so put that down in your toaster.  Then cook the egg, you need to select a dish that is about the same size as your bread.  Spray the dish with oil.  Crack the egg into the dish and scramble with a fork.

I have a 1100 watt microwave so the egg cooks in about 35-40 seconds.  In a 900 watt, you may need to up the time to about 1 minute.



Put your cheese slice on top of the egg.  Heat your meat in the microwave, one piece of bacon reheats in about 15 seconds (in my 1100 watt).  Place the meat on top of the cheese.  When the bread is done, I like to spread just a touch of butter on the bread.  Then slide the egg, cheese and meat onto the bread. 

There are unlimited combinations to this sandwich.
