BEST EVER EGG & CHEESE SANDWICH

This is an old family favorite. I have added a little heat to it with the pepper flakes. Fried onions are also a nice option to make it a little special. Try it with a little Thousand Island Dressing. Cheddar cheese is fine but Cheez Whiz does the trick!

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 egg
2 teaspoons margarine (or butter)
2 slices bread (multigrain is best)
1 tablespoon Cheez Whiz (or your favorite cheese)
salt and pepper (to taste)
red pepper flakes (to taste)

Steps:

  • Melt margarine in frying pan.
  • Add egg (don't break the yolk, but if you do that is alright too!).
  • Gently fry the egg.
  • Sprinkle the egg with the salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. (if you don't like hot, leave them off).
  • Flip the egg over. I like the yolk to be a bit soft. Polk the yolk after you have turned the egg so that a bit of the yolk seeps out.
  • Spread the Cheez Whiz on one side of the bread.
  • Put the egg on the bread and top with the other slice of bread. (I like the side with the pepper flakes to meet the Cheez Whiz).
  • Return the sandwich to your fryng pan and grill until golden, flip over and grill the other side. (I don't butter the sandwich before frying).
  • Enjoy!

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 slices pancetta (Italian bacon)
2 tablespoons butter
4 slices sourdough bread
8 thin slices provolone cheese
4 large eggs
1 small green onion, chopped
Parmesan cheese shavings
12 fresh basil leaves or arugula leaves

Steps:

  • Cook pancetta in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Transfer to paper towels. Reserve skillet with drippings.
  • Melt butter in extra-large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 4 bread slices; top each with 2 provolone slices. Sprinkle with black pepper. Cook until cheese melts, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat skillet with drippings over medium heat. Crack eggs into skillet; cook until whites are set but yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes. Set 6 pancetta slices and 2 eggs atop each of 2 cheese toasts. Top eggs with onion, Parmesan, and basil, then remaining bread slices, cheese side down. Cut sandwiches in half and serve.

Tips:

  • For the creamiest eggs, use fresh eggs and cook them over low heat, stirring constantly.
  • If you like your eggs extra fluffy, whisk them vigorously before cooking.
  • For a crispy sandwich, use a sturdy bread like sourdough or whole wheat.
  • Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bread to help prevent the egg from sticking.
  • Add your favorite toppings, such as bacon, avocado, or salsa.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately while the eggs are still hot and gooey.
