Texas Size Breakfast Sandwich with Bacon, Egg, Ham, and Cheese

Breaking the Fast! Texas Style.

If you had a long week, or very long weekend, this is the perfect sandwich to help perk you up, or down, maybe!  I promise you, after you eat this sandwich, you're going to need one of two things, a nap, and/or, a nap!

Start with some thick cut bacon, baked until nice and crispy.

Then, toast some good quality Texas toast, I went with garlic style, but you can also use a cheese version. This should be located in your freezer section of the grocery store. Hey, or make your own, it's just garlic bread.

And this is what you end up with after you fry up some eggs and add some good quality cheese.

Or for the truly adventurous soul, you could end up with ALL OF THIS! Hey, don't look at me like that, it was just a suggestion. I would never! OK, maybe, but I cut the sandwich in half, and shared it with Big Goo.  And I promise you, I did not eat the extra bacon on the side, that would be just wrong!
