Sunday Snack

Never be afraid to switch things up.  Experiment. Substitute. What's the worst that can happen?  If it doesn't work out, there's always peanut butter.  Try this:


Scrambled Eggs with Brie
Serves 1 (I was being selfish. I didn't ask anyone else if they wanted any)

1 egg
2 tsp. cream or half & half
2 slices pancetta or bacon
1 tsp. butter
1 1/2 Tbsp. creamy, delicious brie (no rind!)
1 or 2 slices of your favorite bread (I used rye).  Number of slices depends on how many carbs you feel like consuming.  I had a big dinner last night. I used 1 slice.

In a small bowl, crack the egg and add a little salt & pepper.  Add the cream and mix with a fork.  Set aside.  Heat a small skillet on medium-high heat.  Add a little olive oil (about 2 tsp.) and add the pancetta or bacon.  Fry on both sides until slightly crispy.  Remove to a paper towel to drain, but keep the oil in the pan.  Put the bread down in the toaster and add the egg to the pan.  Cook until softly scrambled.  Spread 1 tsp. butter on the toast.  Then spread the brie.  Now, lay out the 2 slices of pancetta or bacon then top with the scrambled egg.  (And if you just got done working out, add the next slice of toast, which also needs a little butter too.)  I enjoyed mine open-faced.   Done.  Enjoy.  And if you're so inclined, have a little glass of white wine or champagne.   It's brie for pity's sake!!
