So, this morning I got a little creative with my breakfast. I had some fresh cored pineapple that sparked my fancy, so I thought about how I could use it in my breakfast without just the typical eating some fruit on the side or mixing it in yogurt.
I decided to make one of my self-proclaimed infamous breakfast "sandwiches" with no bread. I find using less carbs is much easier in the morning for me than it is at lunch or dinner, so I try to do as low carb as possible at breakfast.
I felt like this breakfast sandwich was a little taste of Hawaii, probably because it's a common combination on a Hawaiian Pizza. I shall call this, Breakfast in Paradise. Because I'm cheesy like that. (Oh, and there's cheese)
3 pieces of Canadian Bacon - 1 point
1 slice cheddar cheese single - 2 points
1 pineapple round - 0 points
Brown the Canadian bacon and pineapple in a pan until you see some good color on everything. Then build the sandwich: Bacon, cheddar, bacon, pineapple, bacon. I actually ate this one in the car on the way to the gym, but it was quite juicy from the pineapple so I would recommend eating it at home, but it's really not necessary to use a fork and knife. It was SOO tasty and refreshing with that pineapple. I've always loved ham/bacon with pineapple so this was a special treat.
If you want it to really mimic the flavor of a Hawaiian Pizza, you could use mozzarella cheese instead of cheddar and you could even top it with a bit of 0-point marinara sauce much like I top my other breakfasts with salsa. That's a great idea - I may try that next! How great would that be to enjoy the flavors of (one of my favorite) pizzas, but without all the carbs?
Someone try it and let me know what you think!
