Sanduíche de café da manhã

Ingredientes

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup chopped red onion
• 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
• 4 large eggs
• salt (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 4 whole wheat English muffins
• 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 slices cooked bacon
• 3/4 cup guacamole

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Cook the veggies: Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Transfer the veggies to a clean bowl and set aside. Wash out the skillet.

2. 2

   Make the omelet: Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch or two of salt, and whisk vigorously, until the eggs are combined and uniform. Heat the butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Once the butter has melted, use a small spatula to spread it out over the bottom and sides of the pan.

3. 3

   Pour the eggs into the skillet and scatter the peppers and onions evenly over the top. Let cook for 1 minute. Once the eggs start to set around the edges, use a small spatula to carefully lift one edge of the omelet a bit, tilting the pan, so that the wet eggs can run over the edge and underneath the omelet. Repeat this a few more times, around the edges of the omelet, until no more liquid eggs are left on top of the omelet.

4. 4

   Reduce the heat to low and let the omelet continue cooking until the top is mostly set. If needed, you can cover the pan with a lid to help the top cook through. Transfer omelet to a plate or cutting board, fold into thirds by folding both sides over the center, and cut into 4 pieces.

5. 5

   Assemble the sandwiches: Separate the English muffins in half and toast. Assemble each sandwich with a slice of cheese, ¼ of the omelet, a slice of bacon (cut in half) and guacamole. Serve immediately. (If desired, you can place the sandwiches in a 350° F oven for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese. Add the guacamole after warming.) See note below for how to freeze the breakfast sandwiches.
