Martha Stewart is on my DVR list. I usually watch her in the afternoons when Jack wakes up from his nap but is still sleepy so he uses me as a human pillow. Its kind of our thing now. He hears the opening music and turns his head over and goes back to sleep. Last week we had breakfast for dinner on the menu and they happened to make a Murray's Breakfast Melt. It looked so yummy and I had all of the ingredients except the fontina cheese. So we made them my way for dinner and I got rave reviews. "Mom these are so good!' and "Dad better get here fast or we're eating his!" Some meals are meant to just be enjoyed regardless of their caloric content, this is one of them.
Julie's Three Cheese Breakfast Melt:
Ingredients:
English Muffins- 1 per melt
Eggs- 1 per melt
American Cheese- 2 slices per melt
Mozarella and Monterey Jack cheeses enough to sprinkle some on each melt
Bacon- 1 slice per melt
Recipe:
Start by frying your bacon and turn your broiler on low.
While the bacon is frying separate the English muffins and lay them out on a baking sheet (I lined mine with foil.)
When your bacon is done, set it on a paper towel to drain. Use a brush to "butter" the muffins with bacon grease. Put them in the broiler and carefully watch them brown, should take about 1-2 minutes. While they are browning start your eggs.
Start them like you would an over medium fried egg, but before you flip them (almost all of the egg white should be cooked) use a fork to break the yolk. Once you flip them sprinkle mozarella on top of the egg and turn the heat off. They will continue to cook on the bottom and the cheese will melt.
When the muffins are lightly toasted add a slice of American cheese to each side of the English muffin. Let them melt (takes just a minute) and then pull them out. Immediately place 1 piece of bacon, broken in half and placed in an X formation on one side of the muffin, sprinkle with monterey jack cheese.
Place the egg on top of the bacon/cheese and top with the other half of your muffin. Stand back and enjoy your masterpiece.
By golly these are good. Definitely a once every month or two kind of dinner, or breakfast. I'm sure there are some low cal options to this, like turkey bacon, less cheese, no bacon fat but I'll just eat this sparingly and enjoy every bite. Pair it with some fresh fruit and don't feel guilty!
