The 10 Minute Post-Semester Breakfast Sandwich

Classes are over and so is your meal plan, so what are you going to eat now that the dining hall is no longer an option? Have no idea how to cook? No problem! Here’s the easiest breakfast (or lunch, or dinner…) sandwich you can make in 10 minutes flat!

Step 1: Chop Some Vegetables

Yes, I said vegetables! Remember all the times you poked away that terrible steamed broccoli from the dining hall? Now is the time for making up for lost vitamins and nutrients! Use whatever you have or whatever sounds good; I happened to just have a bell pepper and some onions so I chopped up about a half a cup of each here.

Step 2: Sauté!

Just like the weather, things are heating up! I started heating up the pan, and then added a bit of olive oil and a bit of butter. (About a tablespoon of each.) I waited until the butter was bubbling and then I added my onions and peppers. Finally, sauté until you start seeing some color on the peppers, that way they’ll be nice and soft when you bite into your sandwich.

Step 3: Add your eggs and scramble

Here in this terribly blurry action shot, I’ve already added two eggs, although one might have worked just as well. I’m not a chef of any sort, so I tend to simply crack the eggs into the pan with my vegetables and whack them around with a spatula until they're scrambled. Think about it like you're moving your spatula just as fast as you had to move your pen to finish those final exams on time, and your eggs will turn out just fine. Then, just before the eggs are fully cooked, add a huge handful of cheese, as well as some salt and pepper to taste for some extra flavor.

Step 4: Spoon your eggs onto a bagel, add some extra toppings

I toasted up an "everything" bagel, spread some mayo on it, and then spooned as much of the eggs and veggies as it could handle. I then topped the sandwich off with some spinach for an extra health boost, and then was ready for the all important final step.

Step 5: Enjoy!

Just because the dining hall is out of your life doesn't mean you have to skimp out on a real meal. You have just made yourself an easy, healthy, and delicious breakfast sandwich in under 10 minutes. Now pat yourself on the back, enjoy a good breakfast, and go out and celebrate the start of summer! (After cleaning up the dishes that is...)

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
