Fried Egg Sandwich – the perfect hangover breakfast

I recently bought the Martha Stewart Living Cookbook: The New Classics and once I saw this recipe, I knew I had to make it. New years day was the perfect opportunity after a long night of celebrating until 4 am! I surprisingly woke up at a reasonable hour, and this was exactly what I needed — fried cheesy bread topped with a fried egg. I used multigrain bread instead of white because thats what I had at home. I also used sharp white cheddar instead of gruyere or fontina, and arugula instead of fresh oregano. This sandwich is easily adaptable to whatever you have lying around the kitchen, so be creative! That's the beauty of sandwiches after all.

Fried Egg Sandwich

serves 2

4 slices of bread, I kept the crusts on but you can cut them off if you'd like

3 eggs

splash of milk

a few slices of white cheddar

a few arugula leaves

salt and pepper

chives optional

1 Prepare two sandwiches with a few slices of cheddar, some leaves of arugula, and salt and pepper. 

2 In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg with a splash of milk. Heat a pan with olive oil over medium heat.

3 Dip the two sandwiches into the egg mixture and let the excess drip. Pan fry the two sandwiches until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Set sandwiches aside on plates.

4 Crack the two remaining eggs into the pan, until the white is set but the yolks are still runny.

5 Top the sandwiches with the fried eggs and serve. Garnish with chives (optional)
