For a quick breakfast sandwich, I sometimes make fried baloney. Sort of like imitation pork roll..
You just have to use 'good' baloney!

Except for the can of chickpeas of course.

2 cups diced zucchini and/or yellow squash
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup halved grape tomatoes
3/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion (such as Vidalia® if available, if not, any onion will work)
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup chopped Kalamata olives (I dump in some of the juice too)
1 tablespoon capers, drained and chopped
1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon dried Greek oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary (or about 1/2 tsp of dry)
1/3 cup packed fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped (or about 1 tsp of dry)


crushed red pepper flakes, cayenne, jalapeño, or something for a touch of heat is optional
but I wouldn't recommend too much, it will overpower the other flavors

Combine the following and let it meld for a 1/2 hours or so. I toss the garlic into this mixture too
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
(I like to add minced green peppercorns, but can't find 'em in Fla yet. )

Combine everything and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours.

Hey!! You stole my Greek Chopped Salad recipe! Except I use goat cheese instead of Feta.

My wife has been getting pork roll for years in PG. I think she gets it at the Burnt Store & 41 Publix.

Pork roll (regionally known as Taylor Ham)[1][2] is a pork-based processed meat originating and commonly available in New Jersey, Delaware and parts of Pennsylvania and Maryland. It was developed in 1856[3] by John Taylor of Trenton, New Jersey, and sold as "Taylor Ham". (From Wikipedia)

It is pretty good and most of us from that area were raised eating it as a breakfast meat or on sandwiches with eggs.

Obviously it comes in a roll that you slice and fry in a pan like you would ham. But because of it's shape sliced we would cut or slice it about 1/3 worth from edge towards middle so that when it fried, the edges did not curl.

Try it. Many of us would eat a pork roll sandwich like a hamburger with ketchup on it.

Taylor brand also available pre sliced (thick and thin)

Pork roll sounds interesting. Is it any relation to Spam?

Same family, different shape, slightly different shade of pink, slightly different taste (hate to use the term 'sour', not the best description, but I guess its hard to describe)...
