Quick and Easy Breakfast--Part Two--Canadian Bacon Egg Roll Ups

Yesterday we talked about a healthy and quick option for breakfast using nut butters. Unfortunately, not everyone has a good relationship with tree nuts, so here's an alternative that is every bit as appetizing. For those who can tolerate tree nuts, you now have two alternatives and two less excuses for skipping the most important meal of your day!

Shopping List: 1 package Canadian Bacon, eggs (look for local!), and some optional add-ins for extra vitamins--green bell pepper, onion, garlic, mushrooms.

To prepare (do this the night before and they'll be "drive thru" ready for your busy morning--Put 4 slices of the Canadian bacon between two pieces of paper towel in the refrigerator to remove excess moisture. Seal in a plastic bag. Heat 2 t. grapeseed oil in a small skillet and sauté the following: (all finely diced) 1T. onion, 1T. green pepper, 1/4 t. garlic, and/or 1 T. mushrooms (or any combination thereof) until softened. This won't take long. Add two slightly beaten eggs (or egg whites according to your health needs) to the mixture in the pan and let it cook until set up and fully cooked. Remove from the pan. Pop the pieces of the Canadian bacon into the pan and heat--Canadian bacon is fully cooked, so it just needs to be warmed up. Cut the egg into quarters and lay one quarter on each piece of Canadian bacon. Refrigerate. 

In the morning just pop your roll ups into the microwave for a quick minute and you're ready for breakfast!
