DIY Your Way to the Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich at Home 

What You’ll Need:

• 2 eggs, whisked, in a small bowl
• 1 greased skillet
• Toppings of choice (i.e., cooked bacon, ham, cheese)
• 2 slices of bread or one 9½-inch flour tortilla
• Salt and pepper, to taste 

Option #1 

Pour whisked eggs into skillet on medium-high heat. Swirl so the mixture coats the pan. Immediately place two slices of bread onto the mixture. Carefully pick up a slice with your fingers (pan will be hot!) and flip the bread to the other side. Now turn the other slice of bread, leaving both resting side by side in the pan. Once eggs are firming up on the edges, flip to opposite side so your egg mixture is on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add toppings. Fold edges of egg over with spatula, then flip one slice of bread onto the other. Remove from pan and serve. 

Option #2 

Pour eggs into skillet on medium-high heat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with flour tortilla, cook one minute and flip so that the tortilla is on the bottom.  Add cheese if desired. Remove from heat and slide egg-tortilla onto plate. Top as desired – fresh tomato, pesto and arugula are delish. Roll it up. Enjoy.
