Open-faced Breakfast Sammies

I wasn't planning on even cooking a good breakfast this morning, let alone blogging about it. But I just had what will surely become my new favorite breakfast on the run. It took maybe 10 minutes to cook, and you can eat it with one hand. This recipe is for one person by the way.

Cheesy Factor (1 no cheese, 10 all cheese): 4
Time Factor (1 shortest, 10 longest): 2
Dummy Factor (1 easiest, 10 hardest): 2

Open-faced Breakfast Sammies
1 whole English muffin, sliced, and toasted
2 egg whites
1 small brown or white mushroom, finely chopped
2 jalapeno slices, finely chopped
Cream Cheese
Shredded cheese (minimal)
Butter


Take small omelette pan, and rub butter onto surface to create a light non-stick layer. Then add the mushrooms and jalapenos and lightly saute over medium-low heat. Once mushrooms and jalapenos are almost soft, add egg whites to make omelette. When almost ready to flip eggs over, gently fold one half of the omelette over the other, so you create a half circle. Let cook for one minute on that side, then flip over and cook for additional minute on other side. Remove from heat, cut in half, and sprinkle some shredded cheese to each piece. On each slice of English muffin, spread layer of cream cheese, then top with omelette piece. Season with salt/pepper (optional). Eat open faced.


This doesn't sound all that crazy, I realize, but it was shockingly good. I was just trying to make something quick this morning and all of the sudden, it was delicious! I will be having this again, and probably mixing up the veggies and cheese types.
