Fancy Sandwiches, part 2

Another way that I dress up an otherwise boring meat and cheese sandwich is by adding other healthy things, such as eggs or sliced tomato or avocado.  By adding these things I feel like an otherwise small sandwich can turn into a healthy, filling meal.

At the start of the week, I can slice a tomato and store it in a plastic container in the fridge to use a slice or two every day throughout the week.  Avocados are harder to keep, as they turn brown soon after being sliced.  Therefore using an avocado is better when you are making sandwiches for you and a friend or two.  Another option would be to make some guacamole from the leftover avocado.  The lime or lemon juice in the guacamole helps the avocado stay fresh for longer.

Eggs are one of the easiest things to make in a dorm room.  All you need is a microwave safe bowl or mug and a fork (for scrambled eggs).  Crack the egg into your bowl or mug.  Whisk it with the fork.  Microwave until done.  Microwave times vary a lot based on the microwave (wimpy dorm one vs. high powered one) and how many eggs you use.  The egg will expand a lot as it is microwaved.  Just make sure that it is no longer runny, especially in the middle.

My sandwich: pepper-crusted turkey, tomato, egg, onion, green pepper
My meat of the week this week was pepper-crusted turkey.  I had also purchased a tomato for the week.  The onion and green pepper I had bough for another recipe, so I used some to make this sandwich seem even more delicious.

Microwave egg with green pepper and onion.  Add egg, turkey, and tomato to your bread.

And enjoy!
