During the summer months, weekends are all about about getting out and exploring whether that's a hike or a morning playing disc golf. No matter the activity, I'm always on the hunt for solid breakfast ideas that will keep me full and be something I could easily wrap up for the car ride. This halloumi breakfast sandwich is one of my favorites and a great way to showcase fresh summer tomatoes. You could easily leave off the fried egg or the cheese if you can't find it (akin to one of my favorite grilled cheese sandwiches). Looking for halloumi? I found an organic grilling cheese at my local Whole Foods from Kourellas

There are a lot of different ways you can go with a breakfast sandwich and this is only one of many variations that are my favorite. This sandwich is especially good if you have fresh tomatoes hanging out on your counter, ready to use. I would typically roast tomatoes but this frying technique is great for not turning on the oven during the summer heat.
Hummus: Swap out or add hummus for even more of a protein boost to this sandwich. I love adding roasted garlic hummus to the sandwich!
Greens: For a bit of extra flavor, I'll dress the greens with a bit of balsamic or lemon dressing.
Garlic: Toss the halloumi with a bit of fried garlic after cooking.
Every time I end up at the market this time of year, I'm always drawn to all the varieties of tomatoes. It's peak time to snag fresh tomatoes and eat them for every meal. I always gravitate to the smaller tomatoes for use on salads but a big heirloom tomato makes a great addition to sandwiches.

This sandwich looks delicious. And so easy to take in the car.
And when do you cook the egg??
