Gourmet Breakfast Sandwiches

These are not your ordinary breakfast sandwiches, these are gourmet.  So why gourmet you ask? It's all in the cheese.  The cheeses that I chose were a Colliers Welsh Cheddar which is a mature, robust cheddar with a slightly sweet flavor.  This cheese originated from the Welsh mountains in Denbighshire.  The other cheese was a Fromager D'Affinois which is similar to brie with a bloomy rind and a creamy paste.  It's produced in the Rhone Alps and boasts a creamier texture and more buttery flavor than brie.

I made 2 sandwiches, one for me and one for Will.  Will's gourmet sandwich consisted of a toasted Asiago Cheese Bagel with melted Murray's "Colliers Welsh Cheddar" with Wrights Applewood Smoked Bacon, JD mild sausage and 1 large fried organic egg.  My gourmet sandwich consisted of a toasted Everything Bagel with melted Murray's "Fromager D'Affiniois" with Wrights Applewood Smoked Bacon, JD mild sausage and 1 large fried organic egg.  Yummy!  Not the healthiest choice for breakfast, but it's not like we do this everyday.  If you get a chance visit Krogers Gourmet Cheeses section, they have a great selection of cheeses and they also have a section where you can choose small portions of a variety of cheeses, so you're not stuck with a large amount of cheese you don't like and it won't break the bank.  BTW, the Fromager D'Affinois sells for $14.99/lb and I was able to get a small portion for $2.55, the Welsh Cheddar sells for $9.99/lb, but the small portion only cost $1.60.  I also picked up a few other cheeses that otherwise I wouldn't even had thought of buying or trying for that matter had it not been for the small portions with the small price.
