The Egg Sandwich

The standard breakfast at the Ringger household is typically cereal.  However, when one deviates from the Fruity Pebbles, the egg sandwich is usually a top option. My dad has been making the egg sandwich as long as I can remember, and it has taken many different forms throughout my life. It is the perfect meal when your brother uses all of the milk, or he hides the Cinnamon Toast Crunch bag in the Kashi Go Lean Crunch box. Clever. Anyways, the egg sandwich does not require milk or sugar cereal, making it the infallible back-up plan.

Ingredients:
Bread
Egg

Seems pretty simple. The optional ingredients, depending on your preference (or food availability):
Cheese
Condiments
Meat (turkey, sausage, bacon, ham...)
Veggies

This is how we do it at my house:

  1. Put 2 slices of bread in the toaster
  2. Start to make two eggs on the griddle (or pan) and break the yolks up
  3. Retrieve the toasted bread from said toaster, and put mayo on it (sometimes I like ketchup on it instead)
  4. Flip the eggs
  5. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the eggs
  6. Add cheese, and let cheese melt
  7. Put the eggs on the bread
  8. Eat

(Makes one egg sandwich)

Obviously there are many other ways to create the egg sandwich. So ditch the cereal bowl and fire up the griddle!

  1. Did you know that Grandpa Joe always made egg sandwiches for my mom after her basketball games? So every time I eat an egg sandwich, I think of Grandpa Joe--so a very timely blog post as he transitions away from this earth!

  2. I like that you included a little stale humor into this! These are awesome though, probably the easiest - but best - late night snack ever.

  3. Egg sandwiches are always a good, easy-to-make choice. I like the steps you put with your posts. They are very easy to follow and could be turned in to your own cook book someday I'm sure! It's a great alternative to cereal that is just as easy to fix.

  4. This is my favorite comfort food just before bed. I like to cook the egg with parmesean cheese. It fries to it so deliciously.
