My breakfast sandwich obsession continues, this time with a return visit to @heathersmpls. Do you ever encounter an item that’s making a brief appearance but you hope it earns a berth on the daily menu? That’s the case with the basil pesto breakfast sandwich that Heather Asbury and her crew were cranking out this weekend. All the components worked — and then some — starting with a sturdy white sourdough sandwich loaf that responded really well to the buttered-and-grilled treatment. The lively pesto seemed to be heralding spring’s imminent arrival, and the presence of prosciutto, Muenster and onion gave the proceedings some heft, flavor-wise. All kinds of gratitude for using the oven to boost the qualities of out-of-season tomatoes. And the scrambled eggs were perfection; seriously, when I attempted them at home, I channel the talents of the kitchen pros at Heather’s. Also, I thank them for serving a side salad that skips greens that were harvested, washed and bagged a week ago in California and instead features lettuces that have crunch, flavor and life; you are role models for garde-mangers everywhere. The $18 price seemed to be a reflection of its this-could-easily-serve-two portion size. Heather’s just celebrated its sixth birthday (and here's to many, many, many more). I should have ordered a slice of cake. #breakfastsandwich #breakfastsandwiches #pesto #signsofspring #breakfast #brunch #mpls #minneapolis #goodmorning. Less
