Yesterday I got, for no good reason, some egg roll wrappers. Well, I used 'em this morning. This is a recipe off the cuff and so far only used once (about ten minutes ago), so hardly refined. Makes 5 egg rolls (1 egg per roll, basically).

Prep time: 5 min
Cook time (out of fryer): 5 min (w/ cast iron skillet, prolly 10 w/ normal steel teflon coated)

Ingredients:
Small @ss onion
Some lettuce or cabbage
Breakfast sausage (I used Jimmy Dean, "Sage")
5 eggs
Hot sauce of your choice (I used Grace Crushed Pepper sauce)
Egg roll wrappers, 6"x6"
Depp fryer. Er, deep fryer. Sorry Johnny, really love the movies!

Fix:
1) Chop onion finely, or coarsely if you're not good at it in the morning.
2) Take about an inch-thick patty of the sauasage, and start it and the onions off on medium heat in a skillet of whatever size you like, crumbling the sausage.
Lazy morning method: cut susage in pan with wooden spoon, then, as it begins to harden, remove and chop in food processor. Put back in pan to let it fully cook.
3) Now remove the sausage, add some butter to the pan and scramble the eggs, removing them to a bowl when they are just shy of cooked--the frying will finish it.
4) Put lettuce, hot sauce, egg and sausage in the middle of the wrapper, fold it up, and fry it at 350ºF for 2-3 minutes (until golden)
5) Wait those terrible five minutes to keep from burning your hands
6) Eat!

...Now I need some coffee.
Note that while you end up with two dirty bowls (rinse and re-use the bowl the eggs were beaten in), two plates (draining plate and fixing plate), a cutting board and knife, they should all clean up easily, with just a bit of soapy water, as they did here, taking maybe 15 seconds or so each.

We take eighteen ounces of sizzling ground beef, and soak it in rich, creamery butter, then we top it off with bacon, ham, and a fried egg. We call it the Good Morning Burger

THAT is a lot of meat and fat.

Really not much work...I imagine making them again will take 10min or less.

Nothing like pumping rocks through your arteries.
...it's not like I'm eating this every day.
And the alternative was Poptarts...I can't imagine these are worse than those artificial conviniences of sugar.

Yes, you are. I'm just chronically fatigued, and am starting to cook as much as I can, among other things (Walking and such doesn't work, you see, as it just makes me more tired right now), to see if I can do something about it before the end of this summer. Even deep fried in crisco has to be better than Poptarts and a fast food sausage biscuit.
