One of my all-time favorite vegetables is rainbow chard. It’s SO delicious and filling, and also the stem colors are so pretty! I am convinced it can pair with just about anything. On and off I get a craving for a good breakfast sandwich and I had the idea of incorporating some chard into the mix. I love breakfast sandwiches because they can be eaten any time of the day – lunch, breakfast, dinner, a snack, you name it! This breakfast sandwich included some of my favorite flavors – organic rainbow chard from Taproot Farm with melted Asiago cheese on top (SO good!), pan fried Canadian bacon, a runny egg, sunflower microgreens and Dijon mustard to pull everything together. It’s amazing what a few unique ingredients can do to spice up something that is relatively ordinary. I hope you enjoy this breakfast sandwich as much as I do – it’s easily a new favorite in our house. Hope you enjoy and happy cooking! 🙂
