Saturday Mornings

Saturday mornings are one of my favorite times of the week, I get to make breakfast, and not just a quick we're in a hurry breakfast either, the kind that might take some time, and might not be eaten till nearly lunch time.  We used to be huge scrambled eggs fans, almost every Saturday and sometimes on Sundays after church we would whip up a batch of scrambled eggs.  It all started because I failed at making omelets, I just can't seem to get the hang of it very well, and either the egg is a bit too runny, overcooked, or ripped in many places.  So, I started making scrambled eggs, with everything in them, and by everything I mean sausage, potatoes, peppers, mushrooms, cheese, and bacon.  We ate this for years, and still do occasionally, but now we have a different love on Saturday mornings.

With a glass of orange juice it's a wonderful way to start off the weekend.

Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Sandwiches
Ingredients:

• 2 bagels or english muffins
• 4 strips bacon
• 2 eggs
• thinly sliced cheese

Procedure:

1. Preheat the broiler to Hi.
2. Cut the english muffins or bagels in half and place on a cookie sheet, inside facing up.  Place in the broiler for about 5 minutes to toast the bread.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy
4. Drain off most of the grease from the bacon and fry the eggs, I usually whisk the eggs first and use egg fry rings as they fit on the sandwich better.  When the eggs are almost done cooking add a small amount of cheese to the top of each egg and allow to melt slightly.
5. Assemble the sandwich: Place 1/2 of a bagel or english muffin on a plate, top with bacon, a slice of cheese, and the egg.  Top with the other 1/2 of the bagel.
