Goat Cheese Breakfast Sandwich

Components of the meal:

1. Wisconsin-style cheddar & garlic sliced bread
Butter
Honey Dijon mustard
Goat's milk cheddar cheese
Scrambled eggs
Chives
2. Sauteed Shiitake mushrooms & red onions
3. Peppered turkey meat

This is such a great flavorful dish. The goat cheddar cheese really held my attention throughout the meal. The eggs were cooked until they were just perfect--not too hard and not too soft. I prefer a fluffy, moist scrambled egg that is still soft and juicy (definitely not eggs that are dry).

Chicken Marsala Sandwich with a Cream Sauce

Components:

1. Chicken thigh meat (tends to be more flavorful than other parts of the chicken)
2. Red onions (tends to offer a better flavor to this dish)
3. Shiitake mushrooms
4. Garlic
5. French sheet bread (honestly, I forgot the name of the bread but it is perfect for sandwiches like this; not Ciabatta)

I cook the chicken primarily in a marsala sauce to ensure that it is moist. In another pan, I sautee the mushrooms and onion with some garlic, in butter, of course. Once the chicken is almost done, I take the excess wine in pan and transfer it to the pan with the mushrooms and onions. I then add cream to the pan with the mushrooms and bring the heat to a simmer for a nice, thick sauce. Then I take the chicken and pan fry it to help give it more texture on the outside. I use a small amount of the wine sauce, which gives the chicken that brown texture and can also caramelize with leftover juices or wine. When the chicken is ready, I place it on the bread and add the mushroom mixture over the top with the sauce.
