Baked egg and sausage sandwiches

I love it when i have something that looks and tastes fab for my breakfast... these sandwiches are healthy and packed with nutrition and can keep you full for a long time.

Good food in the morning gives me a total kick and sets the mood for the day (i hate hate hate it when my breakfast is dull). Weekends is when i absolutely have to have something good on my plate.  These sandwiches are great for lunch and dinner as well. 

Ingredients:

For the sandwich:

• Bread (I used mutli grain , if the mood is to indulge feel free to use white bread or whatever floats your boat)
• Lettuce
• Cheese slices ( again I used low fat)

For the sausage:

• Chicken mince 400 gm
• Bread crumbs 4 -6 ounces
• 1 egg
• Salt 
• Pepper

For the baked eggs:

• eggs
• salt and pepper

Directions: 

Baked eggs:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 f.
2. Grease a muffin tin and break the eggs and pour 1 egg in each cavity
3. Sprinkle salt and pepper on each of them
4. Bake for about 15-17 minutes for fully cooked ones.
5. If you like the yolk to be oozy then you can stop in about 10-12 minutes.

Sausages:

1. Wash the chicken mince and add in the salt pepper (you can also add chilli flakes if you want them spicy and any other seasonings you like. I like them simple so i just stuck to salt and pepper).
2. Add in the egg and mix it well.
3. Now carefully add in the bread crumbs little at a time and keep mixing well.  it acts as the binding agent here so stop when you see your mixture coming together and all the moisture seems to have been absorbed. I marinated this and left it overnight, but its not necessary.
4. Dip your hands in some oil and grease your palm and make patties of the chicken mixture and shallow fry them pressing them down with a flat spoon to flatten them and fry till they are brown on either side and keep aside. (Don't make the patties too thick, they wont fry too well).
5. When the sausage is almost done cooking place a slice of cheese on it and let it be on the pan on low flame till it melts over the sausage.

Assembling:

1. Grease a flat pan with some oil and place the slices of bread and let them toast.  Keep the flame low.  Remove them just when they feel crisp.  Don't let them brown too much.  If you are not a fan of toasted bread you can skip this step.
2. On your bread slice first place a leaf of lettuce and then the chicken sausage with the melted cheese and on it the baked egg an close with the another slice of bread.
