My Mom’s one eyed sandwiches were the best and my kids love them.
melt a little butter in the skillet
one piece of bread with a 1/2 dollar size piece of the bread cut out
crack an egg and drop it into the hole and fry until bread is golden brown. Flip the bread/egg over and brown slightly. We like the egg “drippy”. Don’t forget to fry up the 1/2 dollar size piece of bread in butter too.

Strata is another low cost favorite.
6 eggs mixed in a bowl with 2-3 cups milk
1 cup cheese
4 pieces of any kind of leftover bread, torn in several 2 inch sized pieces
any left over bacon/sausage/hamburger/chicken
any leftover veggies
seasonings
put all of it in a casserole dish and bake at 350 for 40 min or so.
ANY leftovers that you need to use up can be used.

Not only do I feel healthy by eating this instead of my bagel with Nutella, I also find that my body functions a lot better when it’s been fed 100% organic/natural products. Try it and I hope you become as big of a fan as I have become! – LTWM

**Great for the car!**

Pick up the Arnold’s Select Sandwich Thins. They are a round sandwich bread, 100 calories apiece, and yummy. (Find them with the other sandwich bread.)

Find a microwave-safe container (ideally glass) that is approximately the same size as the bread. I use an Anchor Hocking clear glass container that came with a dark blue lid (from Target). Approx. 2 cup size.

Here’s the recipe:
Break an egg into the glass container. Scramble with fork, add small handful of grated cheese or a thin slice or cheese. (Other additions are veggies or whatever you like in eggs.) Stir well.

Microwave until egg is cooked, 45-60 seconds.

Slide egg out onto open bread. (A yummy addition is horseradish sauce!). Slide into a ziploc bag and go out the door!

That’s it! I like to leave it a minute in the sealed bag because the bread warms up, but it’s great either way.

YOGURT BREAKFAST SUNDAE
1 pkg frozen strawberries, thawed,
1 qt Stoneyfield banilla yogurt (the banana flavor matters)
Crunchy cereal (I use Kashi 7 Whole grain nuggets)
raisins
chopped walnuts

Assemble each serving in this order:
1-3 TBSP cereal
2-5 heaping TBSP yogurt
1-2 TBSP berries with some juice
6-10 raisins
1 TBSP walnuts

this makes a small portion, good for a 4 year old.
Vary subsequent servings (size and proportions) to suit your kids’ preferences

Substitutions:
I used to use Ancient Grains cereal, but can’t find it any more. I’ve used the super crunchy Cheerios in a pinch. You want any cereal that doesn’t get soggy.
Trader Joe makes a good banana yogurt in individual 4 oz cups, just as good, but more expensive. Ditto the baby ones.
Usually the berry pieces in the pkg are too big, It’s worth the tine to stick your kitchen shears into the package & chop them a bit. Other berries are ok, esp raspberries. No added sugar is best, but I get the Acme brand.

Kids really think of these as sundaes, but all the sweetness comes from the berries & raisins.

YUMMY!!

Allow a small skillet to heat up under medium heat, apply a little olive oil to the skillet, pour in some Costco/Kirkland egg beaters (nice and convenient), right after add some precooked crumbled Costco bacon, allow it to cook until it starts to solidify on the top, flip the eggs to cook on the other side for about 15-30 seconds. Remove from skillet, then fold eggs with your favorite deli cheese (my favorite is hot pepper) in between. Easy clean up, easy to make multiple servings since the skillet is already warm, and total time to prepare, cook, and clean up is about 5-10 minutes. I’ve never calculated the cost, but I’m pretty sure it is between .25-.50 a serving assuming you have a Costco nearby.

Then I spray a muffin pan with Pam and dump in the veggies filling the muffin cups about half way full and if I have it add a little cheese. Next because I am watching my waist line as well as my bottom line I pour egg beaters to fill the muffin cups up. Cook for about 20 minutes at 350. Or until the egg no longer looks runny.

Later I freeze them in separate baggies and grab one in the mornings on the way to work. Sometimes put the egg muffins on toast for an egg sandwich. Other times I just use them as filler for egg burritos and add salsa.

They are really versatile and I like that I mainly use leftovers to make them with. All I need to buy is egg beaters, but you can use regular eggs.
