Hello!
I've had this in the back of my mind for several months, but doubted anyone would show any interest until today. So here it is! This is a place for exchanging and talking about recipes you, your family, or anyone you know makes. They can be for any type of food, any difficulty, it doesn't matter—just specify whether something follows any dietary restrictions or not. Have fun!
——————————————————————————————
I'll start by just describing how I make my breakfast most mornings. I love egg sandwiches, and at college I had some of the best egg sandwiches I've ever had for breakfast every morning. I was so spoiled that I wanted to make my own after I graduated. So here's what I do. I won't write it out like a formal recipe, but you can feel free to do that if you want.
I take a frozen potato patty (or "hash brown") and put it on a cast-iron skillet on the stove, on medium heat. Then while I'm waiting for the skillet to warm up, I put a bagel or two slices of bread in the toaster. Once the skillet is hot, I put butter on it and then fry up two eggs, or one if we only have one egg, or three if I'm especially hungry. I prefer to cook the eggs thoroughly on both sides and break the yolks, but that's just me. Once the eggs are done, I put them on the top half of the bagel, then spread mayonnaise on the bottom half and turn over the hash brown on the skillet. On an electric stove, I'll turn the skillet off at this point, but on a gas stove I might leave it on for a bit longer. If I want cheese, I'll slice three slices of sharp cheddar and put it on top of the hot hash brown. After turning off the burner, I'll slice up an avocado and either put it to the side of the sandwich or in the sandwich, although some avocado always ends up falling out. And if it's an extra special day, I might put bacon, sausage, or tomato on the sandwich as well.
At the end, I have a sandwich with mayonnaise, a hash brown, and two fried eggs on an everything bagel, with avocado on the side. And maybe cheddar cheese, sausage, bacon, or tomato depending on the day. I even put lox on it once, and it was absolutely amazing. But to this day, I can count on one hand the number of breakfast sandwiches I've had that exceed those I ate every day at college.
