The Perfect Fried Egg Sandwich

Sometimes I use quail eggs and make 7 or 8 mini sunny side ups. Put them on a toasted baguette with goat cheese and arugula.

A Tale of Two Bakeries: Boston's Flour Bakery and Clear Flour Bread

FLour is okay to me, and Clear Flour is terrific... But in my opinion, the best bakery is Iggy's Bread in Cambridge. They have amazing croissants, breads, and sweet and savory treats!

So, What Did You Make?

Spicy lamb hot pot
Lots of dumplings and wontons
Vegetarian noodle soup
Roast pork, roast chicken
Sweet potato fries
Cranberry pecan bread

Turf War: Boston's Best Ice Cream

I never have a problem with the staff at Christina's, and I've been there so many times. They're just moving people along, so that the next person can get his ice cream too.

Cook the Book: 'Giada's Kitchen'

I love inhaling a big plate of deliciously al dente pasta (pumpkin tortellini with mascarpone sage cream sauce). Or else, perfectly spicy herby marinara with super fresh shellfish over nice firm linguini noodles.

Toscanini’s in Boston, Really the Best Ice Cream In the World?

I think Christina's Ice cream in Inman Sq is so much better. Coffee oreo, green tea, adzuki bean, kulfee, rum raisin- all awesome! I've never been back and never will be back to Tosci's since after he got people to pay his own tax debt. (And it's not the first time he owe taxes!)

Why Pepperoni Pizza Sucks

1. baby spinach, roasted sweet potato, caramelized onions, garlic, rosemary sauce, mozzarella, and goat cheese

2. garlicky green olives, cracked black pepper, garlic olive oil, feta, goat cheese

I love these 2 combinations at Emma's pizza in Cambridge, MA

The Art of Making Bánh Tét

i prefer these sticky rice cakes with a baby banana filling. the bananas get all caramelized from the long cooking. i used to make them often, even during non-New Year days.

those banh tet does lack red beans in the sticky rice part.

Cereal only for breakfast?

I love Vanilla Almond Clusters from Trader Joe's straight from the box.

From Talk

I like the taste of slightly burnt____

The burnt part at the bottom of the pot when you make sticky rice- the best! I prefer that part than the good part.

-grilled corn
-slightly burnt roasted soybeans
-creme brulee, top part only
-burnt sugar ice cream from Toscanini's (Cambridge, MA)

What's Your Go-To Weekday Breakfast?

My breakfast is usually either:

-Kashi cereal with soy milk
-Peanut butter, Nutella, and bananas on whole wheat
-Whole wheat & marmite
-Just an apple
I'll drink either soy milk or tea, or the two combined.

From Talk

Banana Overload!

My favorite: Spread nutella on them, wrap plastic wrap and freeze.

What fruit could you eat every day for the rest of your life?

mangosteens, lychees, mangoes, soursop, papaya, bing cherries!!

Banana Overload!

-Banana fritters- so easy to make. Just make a batter like you would with tempura. You can also buy pre-mixed flour for tempura in asian stores.

-Sweet banana soup with tapioca balls.
-Banana ice cream.

Why don't you put the bananas in the fridge? I do in the hot weather when they just got ripe. The skin will turn brown on the outside over a few days, but the inside is perfectly fine. You'll get to eat chilled bananas too. Just put them in plastic bags to prevent being too cold.

toasted multigrain bread, slice of cheddar or american cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. i love a dill pickle on the side!

The Perfect Fried Egg Sandwich

I never had egg sammiches as a kid. I was a fried egg and rice w/parm girl. BUT i have discovered the beauty of the egg sammich.

Mine is toasted wheat bread, 2 fried eggs with semi-runny yolks, 2 slices american cheese and losta mayo!!

From Talk

The Perfect Fried Egg Sandwich

I don't see the sandwich that my grandma introduced to us as a child. It's pretty close to the others, but has one additional ingredient- sliced dill pickle. It's a comfort food to me too, and my mom can't stand the thought that we put dill pickles on our egg sandwiches.

Basically, it's whatever bread we had around- usually sourdough- toasted, with best foods/hellman's mayo and whatever mustard we grab (usually I use stone ground, but sometimes I use brown or yellow), an egg with a broken yolk fried until it's no longer runny in butter, and a sliced dill pickle.

Now I really want one, but don't have any bread in the house

The Perfect Fried Egg Sandwich

When my brother and I were young, my father would make fried egg sandwiches before we went fishing. He would put over easy eggs on broke assed toasted white bread with a slice of American cheese. I plan on making them tonight, and I wouldn't change a thing... Thanks Dad...

My perfect fried egg sandwich:
Egg fried in butter, runny yolk, little salt and pepper. Lightly toasted sourdough bread with mayo. A little cheddar on top. It's a delicious mess.

avaryne, you have challah bread and eggs, and arent making french toast? do you not like french toast? a couple weeks ago i made some challah and i stopped because we kept eating french toast and *so* filling. so very yummy, but i felt like we were going to balloon if i made more challah.

From Talk

The Perfect Fried Egg Sandwich

i use thomas english muffins, split and *lightly* toast it. then drop some cheese on top. swiss, american, monterey, is all good. fry egg. if i am using bacon or sausage, i use the fat from that, but otherwise, dab of olive oil. if im in charge, i crack the egg, break the yolk, but not smear it so it stays soft and oozes a little. then i flip the egg for 15 seconds and onto the muffin. i prefer bacon or sausage on the side. canadian bacon can go on it though.

I've never had a fried egg sandwich, but I love scrambled egg sandwiches!
2 pieces of white bread toasted, miracle whip on both pieces of bread and piled high with scrambled eggs. YUM!

From Talk

The Perfect Fried Egg Sandwich

Growing up it was toasted white, hard-fried egg, cheddar cheese and Miracle Whip. I make them now on toasted wheat with light mayo and also some Black Forest ham. Still one of my favorites for a weekend breakfast.

But, the best one I ever had was in London at a little coffee/breakfast place (one of those that serves the traditional English breakfast). It was two medium-fried eggs, English bacon (wish I could get it here!), good sharp cheddar on ciabata. It was so good, cheap, and kept us going all day.

misterhee is closest to mine. Never actually had a fried egg "sandwich" when I was a kid. grew up on over easy with buttered toast and jam. Grape jelly or strawberry jam. soak up the yolk with the buttered jammed toast.

From Talk

The Perfect Fried Egg Sandwich

Sliced English Muffin bread (local Bakery), lots of mayo (I used to eat mayonnaise sandwiches as a kid), egg yolk broken and fried until firm, three (3) slices of bacon. If no bacon is available, a thick slice of extra sharp cheddar (preferable Tillamook) melted on the egg. Now I'm hungry.

From Talk

The Perfect Fried Egg Sandwich

Oh, egg sandwiches... for me, it's gotta be a toasted bagel or English muffin, an egg cooked til the unbroken yolk is hot but not solid, two strips of bacon, pepper, and a slice of American cheese. If the yolk runs down your chin during consumption, it's perfect.

From Talk

The Perfect Fried Egg Sandwich

I grew up eating fried eggs over garlicky wilted spinach. My mom would yell at me for eating around the yolk and eating all of the egg white first, piercing the yolk and watching it run all over the spinach. Then I would sop uo the yolk with whatever bread we had on hand.
No egg sandwiches in my house. My mom is from Spain and she thought foods like corndogs and mustard were weird. I can imagine her horror if we had ever dared to squirt ketchup on our eggs.

From Talk

The Perfect Fried Egg Sandwich

I'm with Perkins--grew up with fried egg (but the yolk was fully cooked), on soft white bread with lots o' ketchup. These days it's basically the same, but on whole wheat bread, and sometimes with a slice of whatever cheese is on hand. One of my favorite sandwiches!

From Talk

The Perfect Fried Egg Sandwich

Some great ideas to try here! The egg sandwich I had as a kid was on soft white bread. The eggs were cooked in lots of butter, and still a little soft so that the yolk would seep into the bread, a little salt, and lots of ketchup on top. I no longer buy white Wonder Bread, but I still occasionally crave this sandwich and put it on whole wheat, instead.

From Talk

The Perfect Fried Egg Sandwich

Condiments like mayo, mustard, and ketchup and on a fried egg sandwich? Gross! I don't think I've ever seen anyone eat one that way. To each their own I guess. Although a well made fried egg sandwich shouldn't be so dry, as to need condiments to hide behind.

The best way, is two eggs, yolks broken, fried with butter in a cast iron skillet. Place between to buttered pieces of toast, sliced cheese, and bacon. Simple and buttery delicious.

From Talk

The Perfect Fried Egg Sandwich

First, I saute some thinly sliced onion just until they brown in butter.
Then drop on a fresh egg til just slight set.
Salt and freshly ground pepper to tast.

Flip, then add some ham til brown.

Serve on a buttered hard roll with a slice of cheese of your choice.

From Talk

The Perfect Fried Egg Sandwich

Mmmm. I dig fried egg sandwiches like nobody's business. I toast whole-wheat bread with a little bit of butter, fry two eggs in olive oil with salt, coarse black pepper and Tabasco, and break the yolk. When I flip the egg to fry the other side, I grate pepper jack cheese on top and let it get all melty.

Wapow. I think I'm gonna have to go make one right now...

egg fried in butter with crispy edges and semi-firm yolk, salt and pepper, smear of plain old yellow mustard on any good bread, and melted cheddar cheese if you want. yum!

The Perfect Fried Egg Sandwich

Ham, egg and cheese sandwich! We used to get these perfect little sandwiches at the snack bar at Camp Darby, Italy. (US Army base) A fried egg with partially runny yolk, slice of grilled, thin sliced ham, slice of American cheese, all on bread of your choice (soft white, rye or wheat) and then grilled on a buttered grill. I haven't had one of those in ages! It was a heart attack on a plate, but sooo good!

Turf War: Boston's Best Ice Cream

Christina's is the best hands down. Everything is fresh and mind-blowingly delicious. Concord grape sorbet (available every fall for about 12 days) is superb. Christina's burnt sugar is the definition of "grown-up food." When I was recovering from a broken ankle, a take-out pint worked better than any of my meds. I went in there a few weeks ago hankering for a root beer float, but no-go. They don't sell root beer. Herrell's on Dunster St in Harvard Sq makes a great root beer float and now and then they have a flavor called "butter and sugar." Don't ask. Just eat it.

A Tale of Two Bakeries: Boston's Flour Bakery and Clear Flour Bread

Finally got over there last week. All I can say is OMG!!!!! One of the best things I have ever eaten and I have eaten alot of good bakery treats. Will have to save all my calories for my next trip. Was not as impressed with the other baked treats, but this would be worth going back for. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I am in Boston two to three times a month, so this temptation will have to be carefully dolled out or I will look like the Pillsbury dough boy!!!!

Without a doubt, very much worth the trip-especially in the am when they are fresh!

ALthough plain cheese is always appreciated, I make 2 special pizzas that my family enjoys. One is buffalo wing chicken with pepper jack cheese,and the other is smoked mozz with sweet sausage and roasted red peppers.
