I was looking at a loaf of French bread that was sitting on the counter. I was wondering what was I going to do with it. I’d made about 8 different po boys in as many days. I was worried that my wife might be getting tired of eating them, but I had to make one more, but I had to make a breakfast po boy. It’s an omelet on a roll, topped with a creamy cheese sauce. If you’re looking for a bit of kick, add some red pepper flake or cayenne pepper to the omelet or (and!) the cheese sauce.

It’s All About The Cheese Sauce

This breakfast po boy was easy to make and actually quite delicious. You can put whatever you want into the omelet of course. The cheese sauce takes it over the top. Try my breakfast pizza and my Mexican breakfast taco too!

I highly recommend that you shred or grate your own cheese at home. Don’t buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated stuff. It has stuff added to it to keep it from sticking together. That ‘stuff’ affects how the cheese melts. Shred it yourself and use the good stuff.
