New Year, New Recipes.

I know, it's been a looong time. But, things have been busy in our household. First off, we bought our first home!! We spent a lot of time and effort in getting it move in ready (cleaning, paint, small repairs) and almost all of our energy went into that, which means that we've been eating a lot of frozen food, and throw together meals.

However, I just had to share my new obsession. One day I was reading IGE and she had this delicious bagel breakfast sandwich...sweet bagel with egg, bacon and cheese on it. I thought that looks good and sorta forgot about it. Last week, I went to Target to pick up some things and they had a loaf of Apple Fritter Bread in the bakery area. The first night, I made some toast out of it, and it was perfect, sweet and crunchy with some soft apple pieces. It was heavenly.

The next night (I usually don't eat breakfast at home) I decided that I wanted an egg. (Side note--A lot of you that know me will be like WHUUUUT! She does NOT eat eggs!! Ever!! But I've been eating them lately and decided they're not all that bad...most of the time. I still do not like them scrambled unless they have potatoes in them.) I made it sorta fried with a soft yolk on the inside and decided to toast some more Apple Fritter bread with it. I was like, why not? And tossed the egg on the bread and placed a slice of cheese on top.

It.
Was.
AMAZING.

The crunchy sweet of the bread mixed with the slightly melted cheese with the egg was perfect. It was so yummy. My only complaint was that egg was a little too runny for a sandwhich and I ended up with yolk all over.

Saturday I wanted to finish up the loaf of bread, so I made the sandwiches for J and I. This time, however, I scrambled up the eggs and made it more like you would for an omelette, then folded the cheese in the egg and also used slices of the Oscar Mayer Canadian Bacon. Also very good, and much easier to eat than the runnier one.

Overall, new favorite :)

We've got a couple new recipes to try this week, I'll try to keep you all updated :)
