Weekday mornings are very hectic at my house, this year all the kids are off to school including Julius who now goes to TK. With so many kids to pack off to class including one of my oldest who is going to college, it's hard to make sure everyone has time to eat before heading out at 7AM. But making sure my kids don't head to school on an empty stomach is important to me. Seven hours in school is a long day for them and they will only get a small snack and lunch throughout the day. Now I know how my mom felt when I was growing up, and how like most Latina moms, she made sure nobody left the house until they had a full breakfast.
While I don't have the talent my mom does in the kitchen, she can still cook up a full breakfast in 15 minutes, I can fry up and egg real quick and make the kids a breakfast sandwich that reminds me of my moms friend egg on a tortilla. As long as I have important staples in the fridge like: bread, eggs, and Gold n Soft spread, I can get a fried egg sandwich on each plate quickly.
I love to indulge in this fried egg sandwich myself once I get back from dropping the kids off at school and before I start work. Find the recipe below along with the simple instructions for making this delicious morning sandwich.
My mom and I shop at Smart & Final every weekend in order to prep for the week, this is where I can find a lot of my pantry staples including Gold 'n Soft spread. Gold 'n Soft has the same taste of butter with no cholesterol & hydrogenated oils, plus it has zero trans fats per serving. Gold 'n Soft is easily spreadable, convenient, and a great value and one of the more versatile ingredients in my fridge.

FRIED EGG SANDWICH
1 Egg
2 slices of bread
1/2 sliced avocado
1/2 sliced tomato
2 tbsp Gold n Soft
Salt n pepper
Instructions: Start cooking the fried egg in a medium sized pan - while the egg fries, you can slice the tomato and avocado. Butter one side of each bread and place tomato and avocado slices on top. Once the fried egg is ready, place on top of the avocado and cover with 2nd piece of buttered bread and place on pan to grill. Grill each side of the sandwich for about a minute or until golden brown. Slice in half and serve hot.
Gold n Soft Spread gives my sandwich that delicious buttery flavor that pairs so well with a fried egg. I'm one of those people that believes almost everything in life is better when you put a fried egg on top.
Starting and ending the day with everyone at the table is a tradition that my mom passed on to me and that I hope to pass to my kids. So even on those busy weekday mornings, we will sit down to a quick 15 minute breakfast together to share a meal and start the day off right.
Mornings and breakfast don't have to be so stressful. Stock your fridge with staples like Gold n Soft spread and you are ready to whip up a quick morning sandwich, or a grilled cheese at lunch (YUM!) in just minutes. Need more quick & easy recipe ideas? Visit the hub for more recipe inspiration.
