Welcome to Bailey's Kitchen

Bailey's Kitchen follows the experiences of one adventurous eater and her dog... and occasionally the adventures of her friends.

Bailey is my adorable, bratty, best friend of a Yorkie. She loves my kitchen and spends much of her time with me there attempting to convince me to feed her. As with the rest of our home the kitchen is hers, so this is Bailey's Kitchen. Here we will explore my endeavors into food (both cooking and eating it) focusing mainly on people food, but it wouldn't be Bailey's kitchen without the occasional dog recipe as well. Here is to learning to have champagne on a beer budget! I hope you enjoy!

Breakfast Lunch and Dinner Sandwich

I may be too addicted to Pinterest. I love seeing everyone's awesome ideas, especially when it comes to food. My inspiration for this sandwich came from a photo I saw on Pinterest; however, I was too lazy to find the recipe (as it wasn't attached to the pin) so I made it up.


The results were wonderful! We will definitely be eating these again.

Ingredients:
Eggs- 1 per sandwich
Bread - I used Italian
Tomatoes - sliced
Bacon - at least 2 slices per sandwich
Lettuce
Sliced Cheese - I used Provolone
1 Avocado- sliced
Mayo
Dijon Mustard
1 Onion sliced thinly
Olive oil

First get the bacon cooking. I did mine in the microwave because I was in a hurry. The best way to cook bacon is to bake it in the oven, it gets really crispy and if you have a rack you can get rid of some of the fat (I know its bacon, why get rid of the fat). Just set the oven to 425 and place the bacon in a vessel with sides (unless you want bacon fat ALL over your oven, and plumes of acrid smoke to fill your kitchen.)

Once the bacon is cooking saute the onions in a little olive oil until soft and a little caramelized. Set those aside.

Fry the eggs. Oddly enough in 25 years of living I had never fried an egg, I broke the yolk flipping the first one, then had to cut the second in half when I thought it was done to see if it was (it should ooze but the white should be completely cooked) so i wasted two eggs. The trick is to lube the pan up really well with olive oil or cooking spray, and only turn the egg once.

Lastly butter one side of all the bread. and place them in a frying pan over high heat (butter side down). I reused my pan from cooking the eggs. Half of the bread you are just frying the one side. The other half, once it is in the pan, add a piece of cheese to the top to melt.

Assembly! The bread with no cheese gets a healthy dose of mustard and mayo, then add your avocado, bacon, tomato, lettuce, egg and finally the cheesy bread. Slice in half and serve.

They were wonderful! and really could be eaten any time of day.
