In continuing to try to do a little bit better this year, breakfast on-the-go is a must for me. My money is tight starting out the new year with Miss Marigold needing to go to the vet’s office because she had a bellyache (yucky, yucky). And car maintenance, including a tow to the shop, came up this month. I realized that I need to be much better at saving for unexpected expenses. So, cooking a quick breakfast sandwich at home will save me money and time.
Here’s my typical breakfast:
2 pieces of Dave’s Killer Thin sliced bread- a drizzle of honey on each slice, along with a shake of cinnamon. Toasted for 5 minutes on 400°.
In a small microwavable bowl place a super thin- sliced piece of ham. I had Land o Frost in the frig. Next drop in an egg. Salt and pepper the egg and scramble around. (Ooo. I just thought that a little Dijon mustard would have been a nice kick to the simple egg. Hmm. I need to try it!)
Place in the microwave, cover, and zap it for one minute.
When your toast is toasted and your ham and egg are cooked, well, assemble your sandwich. The sweet of the honey and savory of the ham/egg is a nice combo.
I wrap my breakfast sandwich in a paper towel and put in my purse or work bag.
Now, it takes all of 5 minutes to make. Calories are:
Honey drizzle- 21
Bread- 200
Egg- 72
Ham- 18
Cinnamon- 0
A total of 311 calories. Comparable to a Micky D’s Egg McMuffin at 310 calories which costs between $4 to $7. A Chick-fil-a Egg White Grill at 300 calories which costs $5 to $6. This homemade breakfast sandwich costs pennies, or rather rounded up nickles, to make with no time spent in the drive-through line.
