I used to work at a privatly owned gourmet coffee shop and while I was working there, my boss taught me the recipe she created for the best Breakfast Sandwiches which not only taste delicious, but are healthy as well. She is a kind person and I highly doubt she would mind if I posted the recipe here.

Makes 6 Sandwhiches (or 12)
Ingedients:
9 eggs (or 18 )
Salt
Pepper
Ham/Sausage/Pepperoni/etc (optional)
6 (or 12) slices of American Cheese
6 (or 12) bagels/croissants/English Muffins

Other equipment: Cookie Sheet, Spatula

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

1. To make the egg part of the Sandwich, crack all of the eggs into a bowl and mix the white and yellow parts together completly.

2. Pour the egg mixture onto a 9x9inch cookie sheet (if you are making a larger recipe, pour into a 13x9inch sheet). Add salt and pepper to your liking.

3. If you would like to add meat, chop it up into 1/2" pieces and spread them into the egg.

4. Put the sheet with the egg in it into the oven and bake for about 30 minutes.

5. When the egg is finished, let it cool for a little bit. Cut the egg into 6 (or 12) pieces and wrap each one individually with plastic wrap. Stick these in the refridgerator. They will keep for at least a week in the there.

6. When you make the sandwhich, toast the bagel or muffin first (NOT the croissant). After the bread is ready, place a piece of the baked egg on it topped with a piece of cheese. Place in the Microwave for 30 to 45 seconds (or until the cheese starts to melt).

7. Eat and enjoy.^_^

Notes: Because the egg is baked instead of fried, this makes it a very healthy option and it enhances the flavor of the egg. The egg parts keep very well in the refridgerator so if you want to make a quick but tasty sandwhich before running to work/school that helps. mrgreen

FINALLY! I've whipped up something of my own in a while now.


Cupcakes baked in icecream cones!

Pink one is Raspberry cupcake with a raspberry frosting that has an almond hint. The chocolate one is Mint Chocolate Chip brownie cupcake dipped in a chocolate sauce.

Gotta heart the cinnamon heart that topped off the chocolate cupcake, and the colourful dinosaur sprinkles!

When you make cookies and they go hard, throw in a piece of bread. It will make them soft again.
