Fried Egg Sandwich Plus Wolf Gourmet Giveaway!
Thank you, Wolf Gourmet, for sponsoring today’s post and give-away(!)
Sometimes it’s hard to get started. Like today. All week I planned to share a fried egg sandwich and now the day is here and I am at my desk, hands poised on the keyboard, struggling for words. So, I’ll follow advice from Hemingway and start with one true sentence:
The nice folks at Wolf Gourmet sent me a toaster.
A Fried Egg Sandwich
And the toaster is beautiful, if such a thing is possible. Before it arrived, I didn’t give much thought to my old toaster. It had two slots and a dial on the front to set the toasting level. Which boiled down to two settings: barely golden or on the edge of burnt. Sometimes I used a dinner knife to retrieve my toast because as soon as it emerged it would retreat back into the toaster like it was too tired to hold itself up long enough for me to pluck it out. I didn’t think much about any of this until my new toaster arrived.
I’m a sucker for red knobs and my new toaster has two. Each controls the level of “toastiness” for two slices of bread each, the thickness of which doesn’t matter because the slots are extra wide. Slot-size was another thing I didn’t think about with my old toaster. I can welcome thick-sliced bagels into my life now. They’ll fit in this new toaster.
And so I made a fried egg sandwich with toasted bread, creamy herbed mayo, and crispy bacon. I popped two slices of bread in the toaster set to level “5”. I melted some butter in a pan and once it was hot and frothy, I slid an egg in and watched the edges turn white on contact with the hot butter. The egg snapped and bubbled for a few minutes until I flipped it, careful to not break the yolk, and cooked it a minute or so more. I pressed gently on the yolk, it was encased in a thin layer of white, and it jiggled with a delicate resistance. I transferred the egg to a cutting board and let it rest for a minute. The yolk firmed up enough to hold its shape, like a small water balloon.
Meanwhile, my new toaster was set to “warm”, a feature my old toaster didn’t have. My old toaster waited for no one, once the bread was toasted its work was done leaving the toast to go cold while I finished the eggs. This new toaster has a thoughtful warming feature. It understands that breakfast is not always well timed.
I slathered herbed mayonnaise on the two pieces of toast. A pile of spinach – the leaves stacked, rolled, and sliced into ribbons – followed by mayo. I placed the egg on the bed of spinach with slices of bacon on top. Another piece of toast finished the sandwich.
Holding my breath, I sliced the sandwich in half. As I pulled the slices apart a dribble of thick, golden yolk made its way toward the plate.
