Bought mortadella, egg, cheese, and onion at Aldi. Got some leftover bread. Found a bottle of BBQ sauce right at the back of my pantry cupboard. No chili sauce today.

Google: “Mortadella is an Italian sausage or cold cut made from cured, ground pork, pork fat, and spices. It has a smooth texture and rich flavour, often featuring white fat cubes. Once seen as a luxury, today mortadella is valued for its nutritional benefits, especially its protein and balanced fats. It provides essential protein for tissue building, muscle growth, and energy maintenance, with a mix of saturated and unsaturated fats, mainly unsaturated. Mortadella contains vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, and B12, along with iron and selenium. It can be added to sandwiches, paninis, pasta, salads, and meatballs.”

“Chicken eggs are a healthy food that provides many benefits due to their high-quality protein and various vitamins and minerals. They support overall health and may improve eye and pregnancy health, while also lowering the risk of some diseases. Eggs are rich in vitamins A, D, B12, and folate, as well as minerals like iodine and choline. They offer all nine essential amino acids, making them a complete protein source. Omega-3 fatty acids in eggs support brain health and may decrease disease risk. Eggs also have lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants that help protect against vision loss as we age. Eating eggs can boost “good” (HDL) cholesterol levels and provide vitamin D, which is important for strong bones and teeth.”

My simple, healthy lunch is delicious though I would love to add chili sauce; however, today for a change of taste; add BBQ sauce. Let’s cook!!!

Ingredients

2 slices of bread
2 sliced mortadella
2 cheddar cheese
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 small onion, sliced
salt
pepper
BBQ sauce, bought
butter
oil

Method

Heat a saucepan over medium high heat. Add 1Tbs of oil and 1 Tbs of butter, and cook until the butter melts. Season the beaten egg with salt and pepper, then pour it into the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, then add the onion and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are set and the onion softens.

Flip over half and press down for 20 seconds. Flip the other side and press down for 20-30 seconds until cooked to your liking. Once done, turn off the hob and move the saucepan away.

Put two slices of bread in the toaster. When they pop out, spread butter on them. Add cheese on top of each slice, then place folded mortadella on top. Cut the cooked eggs into quarters, scoop two pieces, and add them on the mortadella. Drizzle with BBQ sauce and enjoy with a cup of tea!
