As you can tell by the influx of brunch recipes on my blog, brunch is definitely my ultimate favorite meal of the day. Living a busy life in the city, I find myself rushing a toast with Nutella half-spread, or quickly grabbing a piece of banana to treat my hunger in the morning.
This busy routine is what has built my appreciation for a well-crafted breakfast on the weekends, a time to sit down and truly be mindful of my thoughts. This open sandwich has been a recent favorite of mine, and one that truly satisfies your tastebuds.
