This is a combination product review and recipe, because I made a delicious breakfast sandwich with fresh ingredients at work yesterday, and I did it without a stove or oven. How? I used the Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker that my sister Katie gave me as a gift years ago. I discovered it last week while organizing some cabinets in my kitchen, and knew immediately that it was the answer to my weekday breakfast dilemma. I've been hitting the gym before work lately, which means I cannot make breakfast at home, and I hate to spend the money to buy breakfast each day. It adds up financially and it is not always easy to find healthy options. I've had more than my share of English muffins with peanut butter, cereal and oatmeal prepared in the office toaster and microwave over the years so the thought of a hot, fresh breakfast sandwich had great appeal.

Ingredients

Light English Muffin
1 Slice Canadian Bacon
1 Slice American Cheese
1 Egg

Instructions

Plug in the Sandwich Maker and let it heat up for approximately 5 minutes, until the light turns green.
In the bottom of the sandwich maker, place the bottom of the English muffin followed by the cheese and Canadian bacon.
Crack the egg onto the cooking plate and use a fork to pierce the yolk.
Place the top of the English muffin on top of the egg and close the top of the sandwich maker.
Cook for 5 minutes.
Using the handle, swing the cooking plate to the side.
Using the bottom handle, lift the cooking apparatus up (take care as it is hot) and using a spatula, slide the delicious sandwich onto a plate and enjoy.

I so enjoyed my tasty sandwich, that my boss also made one. Next week I plan to try it with spinach, mushroom and Gruyere. The Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker is available at Target and other stores and retails for about $25.
