Italian inspired breakfast

To start my day I love a good breakfast, and what better than a wonderful panini egg sandwich with fruit.  To start you need great bread and really good eggs.  It is awesome if you can get farm fresh, but good organic or cage free eggs are fine.  You don't need a panini press, a hamburger weight works too, or a foil wrapped brick is just fine.  I just scored a press so I'm excited to use it.  How wonderful the modern age.....  ; - )    

THE ITALIAN PANINI EGG SANDWICH
(recipe is for one)
Ingredients:
Egg, italian sausage (spicy or mild), arugula, a really good bread, avocado, and whatever else that you like.
Some good alternatives  are onion, tomato, bacon, thinly sliced apple.

PUTTING IT TOGETHER:
Slice the bread on the thin side about 1/8+ thick.  Cut off about one inch of the sausage and take it out of the skin, then saute it until just done.  Whip an egg with a bit of water (water makes the eggs more tender and fluffier than milk) and scramble them with the sausage.  On the bread, paint each side with a bit of extra virgin olive oil ( you should use EVOO rather than light or just olive oil. Read my post from earlier about olive oil to learn more).  On the bread, place the arugula, egg, avocado, and other veggies you choose.  Place the sandwich onto the panini press or in the pan and close the lid or place on the weight.  Let cook until the bread is toasted.  Cut in half and enjoy with a favorite fruit.  OOH a nice glass of champagne would be wonderful with this.









This breakfast sandwich is so creamy with the
avacado and egg.  I loved it with banana on the side
and a great cup of coffee.
