Healthy Summer Time (Or Anytime) Omelet Sammie/Sandwiches
"This is a standby breakfast for DH and I in the summer time when tomatoes are ripe and flavorful. You could use this for lunch or dinner also. We have breakfast for dinner about once a week here."

Great healthy sandwich! This sandwich is as tasty as it is simple. Made using fat free cheddar cheese and would not change a thing. Thanks so much for the post. -
Made this for my son for breakfast. I used hamburger rolls instead of bread and I didn't toast them. I also used mayo instead of butter as that is what my son prefers. I followed the rest of the recipe as written. My son enjoyed this for breakfast. Made for Spring PAC 2009. -
This was such a simple & easy recipe. I omitted the turkey bacon and I used an english muffin instead of bread. The tomato gives this breakfast sandwich such a fresh taste to it. Be careful if you're eating it to go, the tomato juice will drip off the sandwich. Thanks so much for posting this.

Delicious,easy breakfast just hit the spot! I make these but had never tried the egg sub. Very nice!! Didn't have any turkey bacon though...still wonderful!! Thanks for posting.**Made for Went to Market tag December 2007** -
This was wonderful this morning! Super easy and yummy!! My kids said to say thank you! I doubled the recipe for 4 as we were all at breakfast this morning. Great with the addition of cheddar instead of American like we sometimes make a BLT or egg sandwich with. Thank you, MsSally!

<p>First, I'd like thank everyone who reviews my recipes. I can't thank each of you personally although I try. <br /><br />I Live in central Virginia, 5 miles from where I grew up, w/ my Husband of 17 years and my beautiful daughter. She is 10 and is the joy of my life. We waited for a long time to be blessed with a child and it is the best thing I've ever done. Be a mother. <br /><br />I love to cook. We eat very healthy, after a life altering experience at 31 I've been on a journey to be healthy and lose weight. I've lost 50 lbs and have kept most all of it off for the last 9 years. There are always fluxs, durring stressful times, but I've mananged to keep most of the weight off. My best advice to anyone trying to lose weight is to remember that it didn't get there overnight and it won't come off overnight. I've never said I was on a diet. It is a lifestyle.</p>
<p>When Zaar first changed to Food I took a short hiatus. I was going thru a very hard time in life and was completely unmotivated to do anything and thus gave up my hosting duties on Holiday Tag. But now with a new perspective I'm hoping to get back to cooking and tagging.</p>
