Sweet Potato Fries + Breakfasty Sandwiches = verrrrrrry tasty dinner. This meal was actually inspired by two restaurants and my favorite food blog.
Restaurant 1: Chicago Bagel Authority. I absolutely LOVE their Sam's Sunrise bagel, and I always ask to add avocado. I don't think it would be the same without it.
Restaurant 2: Cafe Epi. I bought their Avocado Sandwich on my very last work trip almost a year ago. The sandwich left a BIG impression on me. It was basically unforgettable. I mean, with a description like, "Avocado, spinach & cream cheese spread served on toasted baguette," how could you go wrong?!
Favorite Food Blog: {never} homemaker. Ashley's baked sweet potato fries both hit the spot, and perfectly rounded out our breakfast-for-dinner.
I merged the ideas behind both sandwiches by toasting 100% Whole Grain bread (instead of bagels/baguettes), I mashed and avocado and spread it on one side of each sandwich, Shane fried 4 eggs in the cast iron and divide them between the sandwiches (2 eggs each), I layered each sandwich with spinach, and topped it off with some store brand Neufchâtel cheese.
We followed the recipe for the sweet potato fries, and when we flipped them at the 10 minute mark, I also sprinkled them with my sea salt and garlic mix from World Market.
Oh, and because it was snowy outside and we just wanted to be cozy, we opened up a bottle of White Oak Vineyards wine we'd been saving for something special (it was a Christmas gift from Oma. She gave us two bottles of the Bernese Red, which we've dubbed "doggy wine" because the wine makers named it after their dog. We are so weird)! I really just love that we made breakfast-for-dinner on a snowy day a special occasion.
