Steemit Sandwich Contest Week 64 - Ham and Egg breakfast roll

Ham and Egg Breakfast Roll

I'm back again this week with this morning's take on a Bacon and Egg Roll.

^{How could I refuse such a tasty looking baby turkish roll for breakfast?}

I didn't have any bacon (I know, how does that even happen!), so I used up some ham I had, which isn't the same but isn't too far from the original, especially when you break it up and fry it. I also had some mushrooms and spinach that needed using up, so decided to cook them in some butter and add them in before toasting the whole thing.

The Ingredients

^{The ingredients, except the eggs which were already in the pan}

^{Forgot to throw butter in the pan first, and my pan isn't as non-stick as it once was. Decent eggs though}

• 1 baby turkish roll
• 2 eggs
• 2-3 slices worth of shaved ham
• 4 mushrooms, sliced
• handful of baby spinach leaves
• BBQ sauce

Method

• Throw the eggs into a hot frypan. Might want to remember to melt some butter in it first next time.
• Slice the roll in half along the length of it and drizzle with sauce in preparation for the eggs.
• Flip the eggs over, realizing they've stuck to the pan so breaking both yolks in the process.
• Give them about 30s on the second side before putting them on the base half of the roll.
• Tear up the ham and add it to the pan. Cook it for around a minute or as long as it takes to slice up the mushrooms if you haven't done that already.
• Add the ham to the top of the eggs, and dump the mushrooms into the pan. reduce the heat to low.

^{added the ham to the eggs}

• Remember you haven't got any butter in the pan still and add around 50 grams to the mushrooms
• Mix them around until they've all taken on buttery mushroom colour and push them to the side of the pan
• Add the spinach to the pan and let it wilt for a bit before mixing with the mushrooms

• Carefully add this mixture to the top of the ham to complete the fillings for the sandwich

^{Added the mushroom and spinach to the fillings and ready for toasting}

• Put the lid on and press down.
• Put into the toaster for a few minutes until the outside of the turkish roll is crispy.
• Slice in half, present nicely, then devour.

^{Pretty decent looking breakfast}

Final Thoughts

• Butter. Needed more butter, earlier in the pan.
• I still forget ingredients for the ingredient photos.
• More ham, but it still isn't bacon
• Maybe more bbq sauce on the eggs
• Cheese would go quite well in this also
• This could also have been called "Leftovers variation to the Bacon and Egg Sanger"

I seriously love your dry wit recounts XD

Since when do you not have bacon? O_O though it would suit me fine, I like ham and eggs XD and buttery mushrooms and spinach.

My sense of humour sneaks into my writing from time to time :p

Shockingly sometimes I just don't remember to add bacon to my shopping list. Also, I may actually eat a lot less bacon that I would like to because it's not always the cheapest option (and I don't do much breakfasts)

[ryivhnn]

I don't do breakfasts much either, I just eat whatever whenever I feel like it XD We usually have stuff classified as " cooked breakfast" for lunch, but we can't do that for dinner as the small one can't cope XD

Sense of humour should always sneak in XD

I'm a terrible person who cracks the eggs into the frying pan, then breaks the yolk with the shell, scoops the yolk up, and spatters it atop all the egg-white. No chance at all for a runny yolk. Nice, fully-cooked egg. (I used to love runny yolk when I was younger, now... eurgh)

Maybe more bbq sauce on the eggs

Once again, I'm a terrible person; I'd probably use tomato sauce. ;)

Sounds and looks like a good sammich though! Ham/bacon, egg, spinach, mushrooms... some of my favourite ingredients! :)

**Entirety of this comment should be read in a facetious/flippant tone. Except the last sentence; definitely looks delicious, and definitely my favourite ingredients.

I don't mind fully cooked egg, and when I do that I do prefer it to be like you describe, with a layer of white and a layer of yellow. getting a bit of both flavours in each bite of egg.

Everyone likes their own condiments. I mostly don't eat tomato sauce due to a minor issue with tomatoes, and that I prefer home made and don't usually have any. Mum used to make large batches of it and each of us kids would get at least 1 pasta jar of tomato sauce.
