I’m not a huge breakfast person, but sometimes I go to restaurants for lunch/breakfast with other people. It’s a ten dollar meal and I’ve learned how to make it a two-meal deal.
I like to order an omelette because omelettes are delicious, filling, and nutritious. But I usually get full about halfway through, so rather than just tell the server to take it away, I ask them to put it in a take-out container. Then I take it home. The next time I’m hungry, I turn it into a thing of beauty – for the second time.
Here’s what my leftovers usually look like:
What I take home from breakfast at a restaurant – half an omelette, a slice of bacon, and some bread.
Here’s what I do with them:
1. First of all, I usually don’t use the bread. I always keep it because I think I’ll use it, but then I don’t use it.
2. I get two fresher bread slices and put them in the toaster to toast.

3. Then I take the omelette and the bacon, put them on a plate, and put them in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

4. Once my bread is toasted, I put a nice layer of sriracha sauce on one side.
Deelish!
5. Then I stack the omelette and the bacon on top of it.

6. Then I put some sriracha on the other piece of bread and slap it on top.

7. Then I cut the sandwich in half on a diagonal, because it always looks better that way…

8. Then I stack it on a plate and admire my delicious snack… a glorious omelette and bacon sandwich!!!
