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

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

cheap + simple + delicious = my go-to meal in college
no matter how you make it, egg sandwiches can sometimes be sublime

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

sunday morning
toast some whole wheat bread, fry bacon until really crispy, drain the most of the fat, throw few slices of good tomatoes in the remaining bacon fat add lots of pepper, take tomatoes out when soft and then fry in the same pan the eggs, slightly runny, put all on the toast and you are in heaven!! a BET sandwich..

I grew up eating Uitsmijters, and adapted it more to my liking:

I use any bread I have on hand, but usually it's plain old sheepherders, toasted with more mayo than most would use, and with LOTS of lemon pepper. Top that with several slices of super thin deli ham and gouda which I melt in the toaster oven, then topped with 2 poached eggs, with the yolks runny, but thickened, salt/pepper and dill and paprika.

I eat that just about every morning.
