Sunday Breakfast - Caramelized Onion& Bacon Egg sandwich

Breakfast is undeniably the best meal, for many reasons.. You can probably eat "almost" anything and get away with it as you burn most of it, unless you plan to sit around afterwards. Regardless I love to play around with my breakfasts, something I wasn't accustomed to as I use to skip it. There are many benefits to eating in the morning, but for now I'll' stick to spilling my weekend Breakfast sandwich. 

Why a weekend? There are a few components to it, thus not a quick grab and go snack, but quite an indulgence to devour, so take the time on the weekend, or when time is free in your schedule, to try this little daredevil sandwich!

Yields 2 generous sandwiches 

Prep time 20 minutes

Ingredients:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees f.

4 Slices of your Favorite bread - I use Pumpernickel

4 slices of bacon

4 eggs

8 slices strong cheddar cheese

1/2 small onion

4-5 mushrooms

1/8 tsp clove powder

1/4 tsp balsamic vinegar

1/4 tsp butter

Mayonnaise

Sriracha sauce

Lettuce

Salt/Pepper to taste

EVOO

Step 1. Place your bacon on a flat nonstick pan, p[lace in the oven until crispy to your liking. Approx 15 minutes. Keep an eye while prepping the rest

Step. 2. Caramalized Onions and Mushrooms: Thinly slice the onion and mushroom, set aside. In a frypan, heat 1/4 tsp EVOO and saute the onions and mushroom. Once the oil is absorbed, toss in the butter and clove and when absorbed, add 1/4 tsp water directly into the frypan, this will make the onions turn translucent. Once the water is evaporated, add the balsamic vinegar, sprinkle salt and pepper and set aside off the heat once the liquid is absorbed.

Step 3. Prep all other ingredients, clean lettuce leaves, slice cheese and set your bacon when it's ready on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Once all is done, tackle the eggs, last minute as it won't take long.

Step 4. In a nonstick frypan, heat a 1/4 tsp EVOO and gently crack eggs. Cook over easy, and when turning poke the yellow a few seconds before you remove them from the heat, unless you like it runny. Sprinkle a little of Salt/Pepper. Set aside

In the meantime, toast your bread. Once ready to assemble:

Mayonnaise on the bottom

Cheese slices

Eggs over cheese

Place bacon over eggs

caramelized onions and mushrooms

drizzle Sriracha sauce

Lettuce leaves

Top with bread (you can put mayo or butter if you wish, but you have enough juice running in this sandwich)

Slice and enjoy... Try to eat only one :)
