Heart Attack Sandwich for Breakfast

jmcquown · 2005-08-08T01:50:21+00:00

*Finally* found some nice, lean bacon (at Walgreen's, of all places!). Eckrich is the brand and that "representative slice" as well as appearance of the bacon in the front of all the packages convinced me it would be okay. Great price, too, how weird is that? Anyway, I woke up craving a bacon & egg sandwich. What I wound up doing was frying two strips of bacon, then I fried 2 lightly seasoned (just pepper) scrambled eggs (one would have been plenty and I didn't use all of it) until just set. I folded the egg over and placed it on a slice of wheat toast, which I'd buttered lightly on the outside. Folded the 2 strips of bacon and placed them on the egg. I added a slice of mild cheddar and topped with the other lightly buttered slice of toast. On second thought I should not have toasted the bread first. Anyway, back into the skillet and treated like a grilled cheese sandwich, nicely browned, turned and pressed down. Oh man! I'm glad I don't get cravings like this every day. Jill -- I used to have a handle on life...but it broke off.

Hey, you forgot the mayo. Sounds good but may and ketchup makes it even

Wow--now that's a proper breakfast! I had decaf coffee and a
biscotti--not the same at all, although probably not nearly as healthy
as your breakfast.--Becky

We were equally bad, in not worse, but not in a sandwich. Yesterday I
bought some very thick-sliced bacon at the butcher. I slowly fried the
bacon, then drained off most of the grease. In the remainder I fried 3
eggs each, over medium, which we ate with the bacon and buttered English
muffins.

Sounds good, too! I can't eat 3 eggs, bacon and English muffins... at least
not all in one sitting 😉 I was surprised at how little grease this bacon
left. It wasn't thick cut, but then you may remember my last experience
with (albeit) packaged "thick cut" bacon. I think I'll run back to
Walgreen's tomorrow and buy another couple of packages of this to put in the
freezer.

When you find good bacon, it's not a bad idea to buy extra. It seems
harder to find today. I bought from the butcher this time because my last
two purchases of packaged bacon were horrible. My electric skillet can
hold 7 slices at a time. When I cooked the packaged bacon, I had nearly a
1/2 cup of grease. When I cooked the bacon today, I don't think I had much
over a tablespoon and the bacon was very "meaty". We don't actually don't
eat a lot of bacon, but I've bought it a couple of times in the past couple
of months.

Good advice, Wayne. I'm going to ask the butcher for that at Whole
Foods/Fresh Fields this week, along with trying to find a less cured/smoked
bacon that I don't have to blanche (blanched three times, and it is still
too smokey for me). I have been unhappy with the panchetta that I've bought
at BJ's for use in panfrying for Italian dishes. It is either almost all
lean or that really paper thin stuff, neither is satisfacory. I've got it
down on my list. Glad you mentioned it.

A pet peeve of mine is maple cured bacon. If I want my bacon to taste sweet
like syrup I'll just dump syrup on it and call it a day!

I was lucky with this lot, Dee. It was smoked bacon, of course, but with
very good flavor and not overly smoky. I don't care for maple flavored
bacon and this was not. Obviously, one advantage of buying bacon at the
meat counter or butcher shop is the ability to buy just a couple of slices
to try and them make a buying decisioin for more. Good luck find some that
you like.

places!). Eckrich is the brand and that "representative slice"
as well as appearance of the bacon in the front of all the
packages convinced me it would be okay. Great price, too, how
weird is that?
Anyway, I woke up craving a bacon & egg sandwich. What I wound
up doing was frying two strips of bacon, then I fried 2 lightly
seasoned (just pepper) scrambled eggs ...
Next time (for taste variation and a few less calories, I think)
skip the bread and put everything into a medium size (10" or so)
tortilla wrap! You can still get your butter in use (don't want
to risk missing the need for that angioplasty! lol) by pan frying
it as the last step.
Wraps -rule-. Whatever you can put in a sammich (Pittsburghese,
sorry) works in a wrap, and they keep forever in the fridge. I
haven't bought a boring loaf of "white bread" in years.
--
So if you meet me, have some courtesy,
have some sympathy, and some taste.
Use all your well-learned politesse,
or I'll lay your soul to waste.

Oh, I can't stand that stuff either, Jill! My hubby likes maple cured
sausage and I can't stand the smell of the house afterwards. He calls it
grease perfume, but I disagree. :~)

Was it on this group or on food network that someone was talking about
deep-fried bacon -- is this a new concept - yikes!

Dee Dee,
In the late '70s, there was a bar/restaurant that served up a 1/2lb
sirloin bacon cheeseburgers and the chef would do just that, toss four
or five strips of bacon into a round basket and deep fry it. It only
took about a minute. It kept a round shape to match the burger. It was
outstanding.
Good thing they closed!
I haven't seen it done like that since.

Sounds great!
Also works with a tortilla as a "breakfast burrito", preferably with
some hot sauce and a cold glass of milk.
