OPEN-FACED FRIED EGG SANDWICHES



Open-Faced Fried Egg Sandwiches image

Categories     Bread     Salad     Sandwich     Egg     Breakfast     Side     Dinner     Lunch     Salad Dressing

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

Frisée Salad
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cups chopped frisée
Sandwich
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
4 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 pound country ham, sliced paper-thin
4 (1/4-inch-thick) slices sourdough bread
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 plum tomatoes, sliced in half lengthwise

Steps:

  • To make the salad dressing, whisk together the vinegar, mayonnaise, and mustards in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
  • For the sandwich, melt the butter in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat and carefully crack the eggs into the pan. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the whites are completely firm, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip the eggs over and cook for 30 seconds longer.
  • Heat the canola oil on a cast-iron griddle or pan until it begins to shimmer. Cook the ham until light golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Toast the bread on the hot griddle until light golden brown, about 30 seconds per side. Remove from the griddle and brush the top sides with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the tomatoes on the hot griddle until light golden brown and just warmed through, about 20 seconds per side.
  • Top the bread slices with a few slices of the ham, an egg, and 2 tomato halves. Toss the frisée in the dressing, season with salt and pepper, and place on top.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your open-faced frico egg sandwich will taste. Look for eggs that are bright orange and yolks that are deep yellow. Use ripe tomatoes and fresh herbs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the frico, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the cheese from crisping up properly. Cook the frico in batches if necessary.
  • Be careful not to overcook the eggs: The eggs should be cooked until they are just set. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
  • Season the sandwich to taste: Season the sandwich with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately: The open-faced frico egg sandwich is best served immediately after it is made. The frico will start to soften as it sits, so enjoy it while it's crispy.

Conclusion:

The open-faced frico egg sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or lunch. It's perfect for busy mornings or lazy weekends. With its crispy frico, creamy eggs, and fresh toppings, this sandwich is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give this open-faced frico egg sandwich a try. You won't be disappointed.
