Lazy Ass Breakfast - 'Egg' & Cheese Toast

You know, I've realized that it may be hard for me to come up with lots of things to write about since I tend to eat a lot of the same things every day. That is a great way to be lazy ass, but not so great for coming up with new and exciting blog content.

This is what I eat for breakfast almost every day. Looks pretty appetizing, eh? It's good though, and gets me some nice filling protein in the morning, which helps with staying satisfied until lunch (or elevensies.)

Super simple. I usually have 2, but you could just have 1, depending on your appetite:
  • 1/4 Cup egg substitute (like Egg Beaters, though I usually end up getting the off-brand version since it is cheaper. I think Kroger calls theirs "Better N' Egg." Or maybe that is just a different brand. You can use an actual egg, too, if you want. Anyway, I ramble.)
  • 1 Kraft 2% Milk Single (or the store brand equivalent. If you aren't a fan of American cheese, you could get some other low-fat pre-sliced cheese, but being that I have the taste of a small child, I love that processed melty stuff. I like regular cheese, too, don't get me wrong. I think cheese is my favorite food group. But I don't discriminate against America's own contribution to the World of Cheese. And I need to stop with the long parentheticals.)
  • 1 slice low cal wheat bread (like Oroweat Light 100% Whole Wheat. I think they really only make these lower calorie by just making the slice smaller, but that works perfectly for these little breakfast open face sandies.)
So you just throw the bread in the toaster, and then nuke the egg. I've got this perfectly sized little tupperwear that I use that makes it fit nicely on the bread. In my microwave it takes about 50 seconds to cook one serving. You should probably spray whatever you cook the egg in with a little cooking spray or something so it won't stick. Whenever I forget, it is much harder to get the egg out of the dish. I like to use I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray and then I also spritz a little on the toast. (Though be careful with that stuff, because it claims it has 0 calories, but that is for 1.25 sprays. If you start going on a spraying rampage it's starts adding up. I think it is like 20 calories for 25 sprays.)

So just throw a slice of cheese (or 'cheese food') on the toast, plop the egg on top, and you're good to go.
