If there's one thing that New Jersey is famous for it's diners. Diner food is total comfort food and one thing that I know everyone who grew up in NJ did was go to a diner for breakfast after a night of heavy drinking. I used to swear that eggs and cheese could cure a hangover until I reached my thirties and I realized that the cure for hangovers is being in your twenties.
This is a healthier, classed up version of a diner staple - the egg and cheese sandwich. It is low calorie and has more than one serving of vegetables in it. The goat cheese adds creaminess but keeps it lighter than smothering it in butter would. One serving is approximately 275 calories.
INGREDIENTS
Organic whole wheat toast
1 organic egg
1 slice roasted pepper
1/2 cup organic arugula
2 teaspoons goat cheese
Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Toss the bread in the toaster.
Heat a pan with a very thin layer of olive oil. When pan and oil are hot crack in the egg. Cook until done. I usually flip mine once and leave the yolk a little runny but not too runny. Season with salt and pepper.
Spread goat cheese on bread. The arugula goes on next with the egg on top of that - this wilts the arugula a little which is what you want. On top of everything goes the roasted pepper.
That's it! This dish takes less than 10 minutes to make so you can even prepare it before work and have a healthy and delicious start to your day :)
