Tomato slices .
Italian style cheese . [enough to cover]
Thin sliced LEAN bacon . [as much as you like]
Watties tomato sauce -just a dash .
and heat through in microwave for 10- 30  secs. [ until cheese melts] .
Handle carefully ... then slice in half and eat
with a frothy Latte. [Cinnamon or Ginger added. ]
Makes you want more. !
 
~
Just another "anything goes" .
pita pockets : eggs:  ham: potato wedges .
leftover stew or any tea dish that needs reheating,
take a pocket slice it in 1/2 .
fill it with the food you have .. anything goes here !  
spicier the better .. if you have no spicy food use some chilli
and ginger style sauce ..
then ,when all is filled to overflowing put on plate and
zap it in microwave for 30 secs. or heated thru.
slice it in segments diagonally . and have it for morning tea or supper
or even a second breakfast if you like    so nice the first time around
that you'll have to ration yourself   . happy eating..
 
~
Pita baked beans and ham ;[supper style]
same as before  slice in half and add 1/2 tin baked beans.
[big or small can does not matter here] ;
add a slice of ham on one side . put it in microwave 
for 30 secs or beans are warm. wack them together .
and sit in front of the fire and enjoy.
