How To Make the great egg sandwich
-
1Spread mayonnaise onto bread or English Muffin. Place 1 Tbsp butter into warm, small frying pan. Saute mushroom in butter until almost tender.
-
2Add garlic & finish mushroom till tender & garlic is fragrant. Remove from pan.
-
3Add remaining Tbsp of butter into pan. Lay 1 slice ham or bacon in pan. Break egg over the ham slice, breaking & slightly stirring the egg yolk.
-
4Add mushroom/garlic saute back on top of the egg. Top with mozzarella & second ham slice.
-
5Flip egg/ham combo as best you can & let fry on the other side for 45-60 seconds. Flip egg/ham filling out onto prepared bread & enjoy!
-
6Chef's Note: You can use ham, bacon, or your favorite meat here. The congealing of the cooked egg & the melting cheese functions to hold everything together. If you use bacon & like it crispier, par-fry it like the mushrooms. If you do this, you can use the bacon fat in place of the butter in the pan.
-
7Variations: Get creative! Try adding some veggies like peppers & onions; some herbs like basil or dill; change up the cheese to Swiss or Gouda (any creamy melting cheese). You can also turn the filling out onto bread buttered on the OUTSIDE & turn it into a Great Grilled Cheese & Egg Sandwich!
