The concept was pretty simple; repeat the experiment I had already done, but with a twist. A couple of weeks after I did my shooter, a friend of mine had entirely independently made a shooter sandwich and posted about it, but he made it with breakfast food. Since I love breakfast meats and eggs, I decided to riff on his design and see if it might turn out better than the steak one.
I started, as before, with a nice loaf of bread. I got it at a little bakery in Seattle, and it was delicious! I hollowed it out and put in a thick layer of thick cut pepper bacon. I *accidently* made too much bacon, so I had to eat the extra. Woe is me!
The next layer was scrambled eggs. I cooked them with some cheddar cheese for extra goodness and they came out very well. The black bits are from cooking them in some of the bacon fat.
My friend was a little fancier with his eggs and went with what was basically a spinach and gruyere cheese omelet. That sounds tasty, but I honestly don't think that kind of delicate taste is going to stand up very well to pepper bacon and the next ingredient.
Sausage! This is just plain old crumbled pork sausage. YUM! (a bit blurry, though.)
Then it was time to cap it, wrap it, and crush it! The final result was:
Results - Great! Much better than the steak. It was basically a real foody version of a standard breakfast sandwich. All the flavors worked well together, and the tasty bread was a hit! If only I can get my bread to come out like that... I liked having both the sausage and the bacon in this. They have different flavors that obviously go well together. The cheese in the eggs came through, as well.
I will definitely consider making more of these for special occasions; maybe for camping or a road trip!
