What's for Lunch 2: Open-faced Egg Sandwich


I'm luck enough to live close to my office, so I can head home for lunch on days where there aren't a lot of meetings or impending deadlines. The other day, I was craving something breakfast-oriented, so here's what I came up with: an open-faced egg sandwich on wheat bread with a slice of grilled tomato. And you know what? It was delicious.

What's for Lunch 1: Not Your Ordinary Grilled Cheese


Years ago, I fell in love with a sandwich made at one of my favorite delis in New York City. It had deli ham, fresh brie, spicy honey mustard, and thinly sliced green apple on fresh, crusty bread. They were rich and flavorful and such a delight. I miss being able to walk to my local deli and get things like this.

So, for lunch I decided I wanted to make something light and flavorful. Whenever I'm out for lunch and not super hungry, I'm drawn to grilled cheese, so that's what I decided to have. But not just any grilled cheese. I wanted flavors, and what better way to jazz up an ordinary grilled cheese than to put a little spin on it like my favorite NYC deli?
