Breakfast English Muffin Sandwich

We all love Breakfast for Dinner, so why not some Breakfast for Lunch? Am I right or am I right?

The store bought English Muffins of today (such as Thomas' brand) are so moist and delicious, they don't have to be toasted, they taste great right out of the package. And because a fried egg hardly seems an option for a lunch box I used a boiled egg in it's place. I would prefer ham to make this more Egg McMuffin like, but my high schooler always chooses turkey over ham.

Breakfast English Muffin Sandwich

• 1 English Muffin (I used Thomas' wheat)
• 1 slice sharp cheddar
• 2-3 slices ham or turkey
• 1 boiled egg
• mayo and/or mustard
• pepper

Layer cheese, meat and egg on mustard and/or mayo smothered English muffin. Dust with a little pepper, the meat should have plenty of salt. Enjoy!



Huevos Rancheros Wrap

I still have about a dozen dyed eggs left to use. How about you?

Once upon a time there was a real big egg scare. They blamed the yolk for causing high cholesterol. All of a sudden it was the food to avoid. I am so glad that fad is over. (and don't get me started on my food fad frustrations) Now it is said that you can have 1 whole egg without any cholesterol issues.

And they are good for you.

This wrap was listed as a breakfast idea here and is another great way to use those Easter eggs and fill the those lunch boxes. I made one minor change.

Huevos Rancheros Wrap

• 1 whole wheat tortilla (fajita sized)
• 1 Laughing Cow wedge (I used the Queso Fresco & Chipotle)
• 1 slice of ham
• 1 boiled egg sliced
• 1 T salsa

Layer ham, cheese, egg and salsa on tortilla. Roll up and wrap. Would be even better with guacamole and refried beans added.

Deviled Ham Sandwich

This is a great post-Holiday lunch box idea. A regular ole ham sandwich with left over ham is great but why not try something a little different and devil the ham? Make this the night before so the flavors can mingle and be all the better.

Deviled Ham Sandwich

• 1 pound of ham
• 1/2 cup mayo
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 2 T maple syrup
• 1/4 cup mustard
• 1 T. Worcestershire sauce
• 1 T. paprika
• 1/2 onion, chopped finely

Zip ham through a processor until crumbly but not mush. Add the rest of the ingredients and combine well. Cover and store in the refrigerator over night. Put between two slices of bread (or could even be served with crackers). I add spinach to most meat sandwiches and it works great with this sandwhich as well.

Georgia Ham and Swiss Pita

This peach salsa is what makes this lunch. I live in Georgia, the peach state. So adding peach to a sandwich is what makes a sandwich more than a sandwich but a special Georgia treat. This pita is packed full of flavor and is one of my favorites. This Pita recipe is for one sandwich but the Peach Salsa will make many more.

Georgia Ham and Swiss Pita

• Pita bread
• 5 slices of ham
• 2 slices baby swiss cheese
• Peach Salsa 

Cut pita in half and stuff with ham and cheese. (I also added spinach) Spread Peach Salsa on top.

Peach Salsa

• 1/2 cup peach jam (I used Pollaner's all fruit)
• 2 T red bell pepper, diced small
• 4 T red onion, diced small

Mix together and think of all the ways you could use this Peach Salsa. Like, over a brick of cream cheese for crackers.... Yum!
