French toast meets grilled cheese in this Bread Omelet Recovery Sandwich. Bread dipped in egg and fried is a winner on any day, but especially on a rest day or for post-ride recovery.

Eggs are a complete protein; bread gives you a carbohydrate boost; veggies and greens are loaded with vitamins and minerals, and a little bit of healthy fat provides the ultimate formula for a recovery or rest day meal.

This recipe is a fun and unique way to quickly construct a breakfast sandwich. It’s filling and satisfying, yet light on the stomach, and can be made in just 10 minutes. Customize the fillings to your liking and recover like a pro!

Makes 1 sandwich

Time 2 minutes to prep, 5 minutes to cook

Ingredients

Bread Omelet

2 eggs

Splash of milk

⅛ tsp fine sea salt

A pinch of black pepper

¼ tsp curry powder (optional)

Chopped chives or green onions (optional)

1-2 tsp unsalted butter

2 slices of bread (sandwich or artisan bread)

Fillings

Bitchin’ Sauce (recipe in Bakin’ Biker ‘24 Cookbook)

1 slice of cheddar cheese or 2 Tbsp shredded cheddar cheese

Tomato slices

Sliced avocado

Leftover grilled or sauteed veggies

Spinach or microgreens

Directions

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, seasonings, and chives or onions. Pour the egg mixture into a lightly greased pan with butter over medium heat. Swirl the eggs around to cover the base of the pan.

Quickly dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, then flip it over and place it at the top of the pan. Repeat this step with the second slice of bread, placing it at the bottom of the pan in the opposite direction of the first slice.

Let the eggs cook for 2-3 minutes or until they have set, then carefully use a spatula to flip over the entire omelet with the bread attached. Fill the omelet with your choice of sandwich fillings.

Let the bread toast for a minute, then fold any omelet hanging off the edges into the sandwich.

Fold one slice of bread onto the other to form your sandwich, and flip it to toast until both sides are golden brown.

Transfer to a plate, cut the sandwich in half, and enjoy!
