I love breakfast… and lunch… and dinner… really, I love all meals. So when the opportunity to make Brunch comes around (which I also love) it can be an overwhelming decision. I mean the sweet and the savory options are immense! And then, because you are replacing two meals with one, the responsibility is huge and cannot be taken lightly : )
As fall rolls around, the weather turns cooler (downright cold yesterday!), Brunch somehow becomes more appealing too. My thoughts of the amazing meal my family and I will be preparing are also on the forefront of my mind, as Thanksgiving is just around the corner. (And I am sure all the holiday commercials of turkey dinner have nothing to do with these thoughts either – ha!) So here I am on my Sunday: I slept in, enjoyed my coffee and musings and eventually found myself hungry… what to eat, what to make, what to do?
So, I grab some eggs and the skillet, then a bagel – I have no idea what direction I am going here at this point but I start them both with some faith (really just blind hope) that it will come together. As I shuffle through the frig draw, I grab my cream cheese (favorite bagel topping), some turkey lunch meat (not sure why) and as a last minute addition my Strawberry Rhubarb Jam (also great with bagels and cream cheese). Undecidedly, I spread the cream cheese on ½ the bagel and check that my eggs are over medium. For good measure I throw some turkey in the skillet to warm up a bit and stare at my plate of odds and ends. Then it happens… with excitement and trepidation, I decide I am not eating these separately but in fact am making what I will now name as the Epic Fall Brunch Sandwich. I place the egg over the cream cheesed bagel and top with the turkey. Then comes the key to the Epic success – I add the Jam over top!
It was warm and gooey, savory and sweet, tart and quite simply, epic. I hope you take the extra few minutes to grab all of these to create your version of this for breakfast, lunch, dinner, whenever.
