What do you get when you have two slices of bread that are too thin for a decent slice of toast, one egg, two and a half slices of Quorn ham, and a slice of cheese that is very quickly drying up around the edges?
Well, if you crack and beat the egg, pour it into an oiled pan and then top with the bread.
Flip the whole thing over ... the hardest bit of the entire procedure. Then top with the Quorn ham and the cheese slice, folding the excess egg into the middle.
Then fold the other half over like a lovely ham, egg and cheese book. Then toast it until it reaches your perfect shade of toasty-ness and crunchy-ness
You get a filled omelette toasted sandwich, that is delicious and remarkably filling considering the sum of it's parts.
You also get to use up lots of random leftovers from the fridge, and no wastage.
And ... you get something very random for a blog post. 😄

Nice work Sue! I made 'bottom of the fridge' soup yesterday to use up veg that didn't look great.
ReplyDeleteBottom of the fridge soup is almost always the tastiest isn't it. 😀
DeleteThat certainly mopped up the random bits.
ReplyDeleteIt was very satisfying, in every sense of the word. 😀
DeleteWhoa, Sue, How did you come up with that one!
ReplyDeleteI don't honestly know, maybe I saw it somewhere in some format in the distant past. Anyway I'm glad it worked out so well. 😃
DeleteMy daughter has been doing similar fridge clearance meals for two nights as she was busy at work and hadn’t shopped. She came to us last night and went home with enough leftovers to feed her until Friday. Catriona
ReplyDeleteLeftovers make some of the best meals. ❤️
DeleteThat's my kind of tea. Quick, easy and tidying up at the same time!
ReplyDeleteJust one pan and a spatula to wash up. 😀
DeleteI love an omelette sandwich, I’ll have to add ham one of these days, an easy nutritious meal.

That Quorn ham makes a very good bacon substitute for me, but adding real ham would make Alan very happy if I made one for him. 😀
DeleteI love a ham and cheese toasty, but I'll skip your Quorn ham, give me the real stuff every time and preferably home baked ham joint!
ReplyDeleteIf you eat meat that will be very tasty. 🙂
DeleteA comforting mug of blitzed, “use-it-up soup,” with lentils or tinned beans for protein, frugal and perfect for this weather.
ReplyDeleteI used up an onion and small potatoes, beginning to sprout, and some eggs in a Spanish Tortilla. A Vampire character made one, with great care, in a novel, and I was inspired to cook one. I added a bit of broccoli and the end of a courgette to get some veg into DH.
Isn't it funny when watching someone cook or reading about it, as I am doing at the moment, that you just have to get into the kitchen. 😄
DeleteI like it! Breakfast tomorrow sorted. 🤣 June
ReplyDeleteEnjoy. 😀
DeleteIt makes a nice filling breakfast or even lunch.
ReplyDeleteIt really does. 🙂
DeleteLooks good to me, though I'm not very enthusiastic about Quorn in general.
ReplyDeleteI've gone right off the chunks, but this 'ham' is good. 🙂
DeleteI don't buy the Quorn ham now but...Yes! to cheesy eggy bread toasties :) I'll definitely give that a go for breakfast .
ReplyDeleteAngie
There are lots of ingredients you could use instead. 🙂
DeleteThat looks really good.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It was very tasty. 🙂
DeleteSounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt really was. 🙂
Deleteit's amazing what can be achieved with a little imagination.
ReplyDeleteI like making something out of what appears to be nothing. 😀
DeleteI'd skip the Quorn ham (never tried it but it looks too much like meat for me to want to) but the rest looks and sounds delicious! x
ReplyDeleteIt's not got the texture of 'ham' at all, that's why I can eat it. 🙂
DeleteDelicious!
ReplyDeleteIt really was, and surprisingly filling for what looked like such a small toastie.
DeleteOoh I LOVE an omelette toastie here too! So quick and easy, and super tasty!
ReplyDeleteIt will definitely be a regular on my menu. :-)
