Midnight snack.

I turned the heat up to medium high. I melted a large part of butter and added the wheat bread. After sufficient toasting I flipped it and added another pat of butter. Once that was toasted I set it aside and added more butter. I cracked an egg. The yolk broke because it was from our chicken that has always had weak yolks. I had a little bit of salt, pepper and paprika. Flipped it to cook the other side. And placed it on the bread which had been applied with some sharp cheddar.

This is how I did it this time. Sometimes I’ll toast the bread in the toaster. Sometimes I’ll use American cheese instead of sharp cheddar. Sometimes I want that runny yolk so I’ll choose a different egg.

But what’s your strategy? Do you use any condiments?

Cost: 40¢ and a backyard egg.

    Is that an egg sandwich or a butter sandwich with egg seasoning? :p

    Variations from other countries:

    • Japanese egg sandwich: boiled eggs (6-8 min if you want soft yellow or just right) crushed and mixed with mayonnaise spread on sliced bread. Bonus: add fresh herbs like cilantro, dill, or tarragon.
    • Spanish tortilla de patatas sandwich: sauteed onions, sauteed thinly slices potatoes, mixed with beaten eggs and fried to make a thick omelet. Put inside a sliced baguette style fresh crispy bread. Bonus: spread extra virgin fruity olive oil inside the bread before putting the omelet. Extra bonus: add a slice of Serrano ham.
