Breakfast Belt



Last week, I ordered the "breakfast belt" at this restaurant called Nick and Sam's. Wow, so simple, yet so delicious! I had to go home and attempt to make it myself. Surprisingly, this breakfast entree only took about 20 minutes to make, if you're efficient.


Ingredients:
  • 3 egg whites, 1 yolk
  • 3 strips of bacon
  • a handful of spring mix
  • salt & pepper
  • 2 english muffins
  • soy sauce
Guacamole - Combine ingredients to make guacamole
  • 1 avocado, smashed
  • the juice of half a lime
  • a handful of minced cilantro
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 5 cherry tomatoes cut into fourths
  • salt & pepper

Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven 340 F. Toast english muffins.
  2. On medium heat, cook bacon in a large skillet to desired crispiness. 
  3. While the bacon is cooking, make the guacamole. 
  4. With a pair of tongs, take out the bacon and lay it on paper towels on a plate. Pour excess grease in a cup or small bowl. (Pouring grease down the drain is bad for your pipes! Let the grease solidify and dispose it in the trash.) 
  5. Switch the heat to medium-low heat, and fry the eggs for 2 minutes or so. Dazzle a bit of soy sauce. 
  6. Take out the english muffins. Spread the guacamole on a muffin half. On the other muffin half place the eggs, bacon pieces, and a handful of spring mix. 

Costs:
  • 3 egg whites, 1 yolk- $0.25
  • 3 strips of bacon-$ 0.50
  • a handful of spring mix $0.35
  • 2 english muffins- $1.20
  • salt & pepper

  • a handful of minced cilantro -$0.10
  • 1 garlic clove, minced- $0.08
