Homemade English Muffin Breakfast Sandwich

How often do we go to our favorite breakfast or coffee joint for a breakfast sandwich, in Canada we go to Tim Hortons a lot and we enjoy our coffee and our breakfast there, but it gets costly, and often we can do it our selves, and make it better.

You can choose your own meat, your own cheese, and make it taste amazing, and the best part its what you want, and should be cheaper and healtheir!

So lets break it all down.

  1. Cut an English Muffin in half and spread some mayo over it, if you want to make your own mayo mix you can do that, chipolete sauce would work great here!
  2. Heat up your pan and put an egg on it breaking the yolks and cooking it with pepper and salt (lo or no sodium salt if you can.)
  3. Remove from the stove when cooked and the toast the English Muffin over the stove too, and remove it.
  4. Place your Eggs on the bottom part of the English Muffin.
  5. Put some hot sauce, we like Sweet Thai Franks Hot Sauce on ours.
  6. Put some grated cheese over it.
  7. Put a sliced onion over it.
  8. Close it up and serve.

This was easy, simple, quick and cheap, and honestly worth making for your breakfast, and it really levels your cooking up!

Homemade Ice Cap

One of the best delicacies that Canada has to offer is Tim Hortons, while many of us have our own opinions of the place, and the decline of quality that has happened through the years, there are a few things that you have come to accept, 1. A long line up in the drive through, 2. The double double the co worker is going to treat you with, and the demand for an ice cap!

This is a very simple and easy recipe, just takes some time to do.

  1. Make some coffee, use your favorite blend, let it brew and when its done brewing take 3 cups out of the maker and let it cool, (Tip if its winter let it sit outside to cool down.)
  2. Put the coffee in a blender.
  3. Add a few spoons of brown sugar (Or stevia, we use a diabetic friendly type of brown sugar)
  4. Add the normal amount of coffee cream that you would use in 3 cups of coffee (this is you have left overs if you want only 1 cup of an Ice Cap just reduce it by a 3rd.)
  5. Lastly add 1 tray of ice cubes.
  6. Blend that up until you have a good consistency, pour into a cup and serve.
  7. Optional you can add some whip cream and drizzle some chocolate over it, I know my wife would love this more but she is diabetic like me so, the answer was no.

Its that easy, and simple, and this is a Canadian delicacy and its an amazing taste.
