A friend brought us some sourdough English muffins from the Bay Area.
So, we had to come up with some special way to enjoy them.
I had some leftover lunchmeat and cheese so I decided to make a breakfast sandwich.
This is not gluten-free, vegetarian, locavore, paleo, low-carb, low-fat, or raw food.
But it is quite tasty and satisfying. And maybe every once in a while, life should just be tasty and satisfying.
First assemble the ingredients.
Then realize you forgot the turkey after you took the picture.
I had some nice pastrami from Grocery Outlet that were the ends from large deli rolls.
I pulled some cooked bacon from the freezer and reconstituted it with a couple Tbs of bacon drippings over medium heat.
Sizzle. Sizzle.
The turkey was pretty thin, so I pulled it off, flipped the pastrami, then flipped the turkey leaving it on top.
Got some nice browning on the pastrami.
Immediately after flipping, add a slice of cheese on top.
I like pepper jack and swiss. Sharon likes cheddar.
One reason I like dishes like this is that you can adjust them to taste.
I put about a Tbs of water in the lid, then put that into the pan as I put the lid on. Why do I do this?
I do this so that the cheese gets all melty in the steam without the food over-cooking.
A trick I use in scrambles and cheese burgers as well.
If I had my act together I would have had the first halves of the English muffins toasted ready to receive these.
But I didn't so I just put them on a plate while I waited for the toasting to finish.
I hate waiting.
Then I put them on muffin bottoms when they finished.
Meanwhile, combine eggs (1 per serving) with "some cream" (I never measure this) and some roasting salt.
Mix with a fork until well blended.
Shake the pan front to back vigorously while pouring in the mixture, then continue with the shaking while stirring with a spatula. Clean the sides a time or two, then back away.
Sprinkle the reserved bacon over the top. (I should have done it a little sooner than what I have pictured while the egg hadn't completely set.)
Or, flip and split.
Your choice.
