What do you do on the first day of summer vacation? I'm sure many make a beeline for the pool, but if you live with me, you go out to eat breakfast.
That's not really surprising, is it?
I didn't think so.
My son and I dropped my daughter off at her little preschool camp today, and we went across the street to have breakfast at Bruegger's Bagels. Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to meet Bruegger's Executive Chef, Philip Smith when he visited Raleigh. I got an e-mail from his staff a few weeks ago encouraging me to try some of his new menu items for summer.
Apparently, they know I like to eat. I guess that was evident when I went for seconds on Chef Smith's delicious smoked salmon strata. They sent me some coupons, and of course, I put them in a safe place, and now can't locate them at all in my home. Does that happen to anyone else?
Of course, I was disappointed that I couldn't find my coupons today, but Bruegger's is my neighborhood eatery, and I eat there a lot anyway. Coupon or no coupon.
You may have heard that Bruegger's has a new "Sriracha Egg Sandwich" on the menu that includes eggs, cheddar cheese, sausage, red peppers, and sriracha, a tangy chili sauce.
I have a confession to make. I've never eaten an egg on a bagel in my life. I will eat a hard-boiled egg in a salad and I will make egg salad, but that is about it when it comes to my egg eating. The Sriracha looked good, but I didn't want the meat, and the extra calories this morning.
It was too early for me to try one of their new salads on this visit so I made an adventurous decision for me, and ordered an egg white and sundried tomato sandwich. Oh my goodness! I am an idiot for not trying an egg on a bagel sooner.
It was delicious. I feel like I've been missing out on something for 44 years now.
I guess the entire world knew something that I didn't know. An egg on a bagel is darn good. I will definitely order it again. It has less than 500 calories, but if I had ordered it "skinny" then it would have had about 100 less calories. I honestly stayed full for six hours later.
I guess I let Chef Smith down by not trying his new spicy breakfast sandwich. I hate letting an Englishman down, too because he has that great British accent,and all. I'm sure it is wonderful.
I hope you try it, and let me know how it is. In the meantime, I'm quite happy about my new breakfast find, and I look forward to trying the new Blue Apple and Chicken Almond Salads.

Disclosure: Bruegger's asked me to try some of their new menu items. They sent me some coupons, but I put them in a place so safe in my home that I can't find them now. I paid for our own breakfast at Bruegger's, and my opinions are my own. I will definitely try the new salads at some point because I do frequent Bruegger's often.
