But, back to brunch. I guess there is something fun about drinking cocktails before noon and it does make lunchtime seem a bit more festive...okay, brunch is starting to grow on me. Especially, because I've started making the best sandwich ever, and it is perfect for brunch. Ladies and gents, I give you, The Cobb Sandwich:
Gourmess Cobb Sandwich
Makes 2 sandwiches
Ingredients:
8 slices bacon
1/4 cup shredded cheddar jack cheese
2 eggs1 firm avocado
2 tomatoes
3 TBS mayonnaise
1 TBS crumbled bleu cheese
Kosher salt/ground black pepper
4 slices crusty bread, toasted
Minimal MESS/ingredients/clean-up Category 1
To Do:
- Cook bacon, drain, and set aside.
- Make your egg: In a small microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the two eggs and the shredded cheese. Add a pinch of salt/ pepper. Cover the bowl with a paper towel and microwave for about 2 minutes, until cooked through. Gently remove the eggs from the bowl and let cool slightly. (The eggs will be fluffy and molded into a circular shape that makes sandwich building easier.)
- Slice the tomatoes and sprinkle with salt. Then, slice the avocado. (An easy way to slice the avocado is to cut it in half, twist to separate, then take a half and hold it in your palm and carefully slice lengthwise into long pieces with a knife, then gently remove from the peel.
- Toast your bread. Mix the mayo and the bleu cheese together in a bowl and then spread each slice with a bit of the mayo mixture.
- Build your sandwich. Cover the mayoed bottom piece with avocado slices and then four pieces of the bacon. On the top, a layer of tomatoes, followed by the half of the egg.
- Close the sandwich, and then sink your teeth into one tasty treat.
- Serve with Bloody Marys for the ultimate brunch.
