Monday Night Dinner: Breakfast for Dinner


I am a savory breakfast sort of person.  I would skip pancakes every day for eggs and potatoes.  My favorite thing to eat in the morning is a low-cal breakfast sandwich made with sandwich thins, egg whites, meat, and cheese.  It's also a great hearty breakfast-for-dinner sort of meal.  Add potatoes on the side and you've got something worth sitting down for.


Ingredients

  • 1 medium russett potato
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 2 "rolls" 100% whole wheat Sandwich Thins (I like the ones by Eating Right)
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 3 cups water
  • 1/4 tsp Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • 6 slices deli meat, your choice
  • 2 slices smoked Gouda cheese

Directions

Cut potato to your taste.  I like 1/2" cubes.  Toss in olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper and cook in a pan on your stovetop until golden brown.  Cover and set aside.

Boil your water, reduce heat to simmer, add your vinegar, and poach your egg whites, two at a time.  Sprinkle each of your poached egg whites with a little Montreal steak seasoning
Pop your sandwich thins in the toaster.
Separate your deli meat into 2 servings of 3 slices each, top with a slice of smoked Gouda, and heat either on your stovetop or zap in the microwave for 10 seconds each.

Compile your sandwiches and serve potatoes alongside.

Serves 2


You won't regret this meal.  It's so delicious and pretty guilt-free.
