BLOG POST    HEARTY HOT BREAKFAST— FAST!

Cook bacon, sausage, eggs boiled or fried, and cheese grits…after dinner. Refrigerate. Hot breakfast in no time. 

I do not use the microwave for the re-heating previously boiled eggs, though. You can warm them in a mug of hot water from the faucet. 

I use the hot water from my Keurig.  I put the boiled eggs in a bowl and without a coffee pod, dispense hot water into the bowl.  Warm for a few minutes. Peel the shells away and discard.

I was skeptical that cheese grits from last night could be good: they can . I use butter when I am cooking them. 

Put them in an airtight container and refrigerate overnight.
Heat in microwave 90 seconds or less.

Fried eggs really surprised me. I had made two  for breakfast one day, and I did not want the second one. So,  I put it in the refrigerator in a sandwich bag to keep most of the air out.

I nuked the fried egg in the microwave for maybe 20 seconds.  Then, I enjoyed my super delicious hot breakfast  cooked FAST!     Yum!

When cooking bacon, cook the whole package. Drain on paper towels.  Put dry paper towels between layers of bacon and store in a large Ziplock in the fridge.

When cooking pan sausage, cook the whole package.
Use same directions above for bacon  for refrigeration of sausage overnight.

Buying pre-cooked sausage is also an option. Johnsonville is one brand that tastes good to me.
  
Cooking smoked sausage      FAST:
Either, slice diagonally to produce diamond shaped slices. Thinner slices cook faster.

Or, use a knife to cut  diagonal slits in the top of the smoked sausage,  as you would slice the top of an Italian loaf of bread to make garlic bread. 

Cover the bottom of a skillet with water.  Add sausage. 

Cover the skillet with a lid. Cook on the stove top.

Steam first. Then, spray non-aerosol cooking spray or pour one or two tablespoons of  olive oil into the pan.

You can also apply the olive oil spray/avocado oil spray/coconut oil spray  to both the pan and to the sausage. Cook till brown. 

Drain on paper towels. Enjoy!
