bacon and egg salad, for sandwiches

I'm tired, and craving comfort food. Egg salad sandwiches and baked kale chips were what I wanted. Fast! Cheap! Easy! My favorite things. You all know I love deviled eggs, egg salad is just deviled eggs all chopped up and on a sandwich. Especially if you use a lot of mustard and paprika like me. Oh, and added bonus, I chopped up some bacon and added it in. Bacon and eggs are bff, everyone knows that!

Bacon and egg salad
makes about 4 sandwiches


8 eggs, hard boiled
3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/4 c sweet hot mustard
1/4 c mayonnaise
2 T finely, finely chopped onion
1/2 t hot sauce
salt and pepper
1 t paprika

Peel the eggs, and cut them up into little tiny pieces. If you have an egg slicer, this is a useful tool. Put the eggs in a bowl, and add all the other ingredients. Stir well, and taste. You might want more mustard, or hot sauce, or more mayo. Serve on lightly toasted gf bread, or on crackers, or eat with a fork.

Oh and that bacon grease leftover from cooking the bacon? Toss some kale in a tablespoon of it and make the best kale chips ever. I promise.

S'mores and peanut butter sandwich

I've been thinking about this for a long time, but then I couldn't eat solid food and before that I didn't have any Fluff or Nutella. ne of my favorite foods is a toasted bagel with peanut butter on it, then you put it back in the toaster for 30 seconds to get the peanut butter all melty. Be still my heart! This is a cross between a bagel with melty peanut butter, a grilled cheese, and s'mores.
This is not a healthy sandwich, and would be more of a dessert thing. Or maybe a special occasion lunch. I could even see sneaking bananas in here. Or maybe some crumbled bacon. Oh boy.

S'mores and peanut butter sandwich


2 slices of gf bread
butter
peanut butter
Nutella (or other chocolate spread)
Fluff (or other marshmallow spread)

Heat up a small pan over medium heat. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Flip both slices of bread, and spread one slice with peanut butter, and the other with Nutella. Carefully spread Fluff on top of the chocolate layer, then smoosh the peanut butter slice of bread on top. Place your sandwich in the pan, and cook 2-3 minutes per side, until well toasted on both sides. Eat, but make sure you have plenty of napkins!

Let's talk about something different for a minute

Not cakes or desserts or sweet things. Have you seen that commercial for the burger that uses grilled cheese as a bun? That's so something I would do. Fat kid city over here. Sometimes.

Anyway, you know that breakfast thing, egg-in-a-hole? Where you punch a hole in a piece of toast and cook an egg in it? That's cool and all, but how about instead of boring old toast, you use a grilled cheese sandwich? That way, you get cheese in your egg-in-a-hole, since eggs and cheese are, let's face it, meant to be together. This is SO AWESOME. I used Udi's bread, since it's the only GF bread I've found that makes delicious, regular tasting grilled cheese. Use cheese of your choice, I used American (which I do not like at all) because that's what they accidentally gave me at the deli when I asked for cheddar. At least it works in grilled cheese.

Grilled cheese egg-in-a-hole

2 slices bread (if you keep bread in the freezer like I do, let it thaw first)

butter

2 slices cheese - American, cheddar, mozzerella, Gouda, go nuts

1 egg

salt and pepper

Butter one side of each slice of bread. Heat up a small grilled cheese making pan, and put one slice of bread, butter side down, in the pan. Place the cheese on top, then the second slice of bread on top, butter side up. Cover the pan (for maximum cheese meltability) and cook for about 3 minutes over medium heat, until the bread is just starting to be crispy brown. Flip and cook on the other side for 3 more minutes, uncovered (for maximum crispiness). Remove your sandwich from the pan and punch a hole in it with a cookie cutter, or some sort of round thing like a cup. Remove the circle of sandwich and set aside. Put your sandwich with the hole back in the pan and turn the heat back on to medium low. Break your egg into the middle, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cover. Cook about 5 minutes, until the white is set. Remove the egg-hole-sandwich to a plate, and eat, along with the sandwich circle you removed earlier. If your yolk is runny, like I like, you can dip your sandwich circle into the runny egg yolk.
