Challenge- Everyone loves a breakfast sandwich!

Ever since I saw the movie Spanglish with Adam Sandler, I have loved a breakfast sandwich! Just seeing the sheer joy he had... it has stayed with me. I have since considered this style of sandwich to be pure joy to both make and eat! For this challenge I used the following Dominion Harvest mystery box ingredients:

• Brown Eggs
• Bibb Lettuce
• Gouda
• Green Tomatoes

I also used:

• High quality whole wheat bread
• Bacon (Yes, I went for the real stuff. This sandwich is heaven, and heaven has no place for Turkey bacon!)
• Smart Balance Spread

First, start cooking your bacon. You need 4 slices for each sandwich. (Go ahead and cook the rest, it is basically a sin not to!)

Next, butter (it just sounds better than Smart Balance Spread) one side of each piece of the bread. You need 2 slices per sandwich, seems like common sense... but just in case! You want to put this in a pan and brown it nicely. At the same time, put either sliced or grated (this is the option I chose) Gouda on one side of the bread for each sandwich and melt it. Once these are done, set to the side.

Next, crack 2 of your brown eggs into a bowl. This serves two purposes, first it allows you to ensure no shell gets in, second, it allows you to control where it goes better when you pour it into the non stick pan. My preference is over easy eggs for these sandwiches, there is something so sinfully amazing about the yolk running out when you cut it! So if you go that route, pour into the pan so that the yolks and whites stay close together. This requires a slow pour into the pan and the use of a spatula to push the runaway whites in together. Be mindful of the size and shape of the bread you chose and try to push it into a similar size and shape. Top with a little salt and pepper and allow to cook gently. When they are lightly browned, flip the 2 eggs together. This might require 2 spatulas and some patience! Once flipped, salt and pepper the second side.

This starts the assembly phase of the breakfast sandwich! First, place the piece of bread that has the cheese on it, Gouda cheese side up on your plate. Then place your eggs on top of that. This may seem odd as most people put cheese on top, but when you go with over easy eggs you are looking forward to the runny goodness of the yolk- NOT the soggy ickiness that it can bring on your bread! The melted cheese helps to keep the breads form! On top of the eggs, put the 4 slices of REAL bacon, then 2 slices of green tomato, then 2 or 3 pieces of bibb lettuce! Again, the lettuce on top will help to protect the top piece of bread! Now comes the fun part, cut your sandwich in half and see the yummy golden deliciousness run out... this is good for smearing your sandwich in as you go. Of course, toss a few extra pieces of bacon on the plate and get ready for an AMAZING start to your day!!!!
