Pandora's question about eggs brought this to mind.

This is a sandwich that Crash's dad created (that could be misproven,
but for now, it's his original creation).

Fry an egg sunny-side up. While it's cooking, spread butter on one
side of a slice of bread. When the egg is done, break the yolk, smear
it around, and salt and pepper to taste. Place the bread on the egg,
butter side up. Flip the egg and bread to brown the buttered side of
the bread. Remove from pan. Eat. Make another. And another.

I know, this sounds god-awful. I didn't even want to try it when
Crash described it to me. But, dayam, it's good!

Might be good with a slice of cheese between the egg and the bread,
too, but I haven't tried it that way.

Ohhhhh! Carol! This is a wonderful recipe!!!! I will try also with cheese!
And what kind of bread used Crash's dad? Toast bread?
Cheers and thank you for this recipe.

We just use regular, disgusting (but cheap) soft white bread. You can
use whatever kind of bread that you would enjoy fried with butter.
Hmmm ... I'll bet it would be good with pumpernickel!

Enjoy!

When I make fried eggs sandwiches, more or less in the same way, but I
use two slices of toasted bread (usually a single grain rye or barley
or a bagel), I put a slice of soy cheese on the bread, and pungent
mustard (like Keen's or Amora) on the other piece of bread. The soy
cheese is low in fat and yet adds more protein to the sandwich. The
mustard is for taste.

It's my standard Saturday brunch item, before I go wargaming for the
afternoon.

Mine is similar. One inner side of the bread has a smear of mayo, then a
slice of sweet onion on top of the egg. Eaten with kosher dill spear and
chips.

Then there's the one where you butter bread and place it buttered side
down on the griddle to brown. Then you use a wide-mouthed jar or glass
to cut a circle out of the bread. Reserve them (2 slices) while you
fry an egg in the hole. The circles become the sandwich bread for the
perfectly sized and shaped egg. What do they call this? -aem

Really? I thought that was an English thing, a battered-baked-sausages
dish. Maybe we borrowed the name? -aem

Sounds good. Should have peanut butter on the bread though. No
cheese for me thanks....Sharon

Could be. I'm not sure I would know where to look. I've only ever
heard this from one person who called it that so he could have been
wrong.

I heat up some left over bacon.Put it on top the eggs.I call it a
'bacon and eggs' sandwich. I think if you cut out the center to make a
circle,its called an 'egg Mcmuffin'.

Egg McMuffins are made with English muffins. And they have both a top
and bottom piece of breadlike substance.

Childhood memories! My mama always called it Egg-In-the-Nest, and claimed
she read about it in one of Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe novels. Whatever, it was
always comfort food to us.

Down South, we make "the exact same thing, only different" (sorry).

Here we have a really fancy name for it: egg on toast
We don't break the yolk or cook the bread in the same pan (but other than
that... well, you know)

'Round here, you have to have two pieces of bread to call it a
sandwich <vbg>

The bread part of your recipe is what we call "pan toast". It is heavenly.
Pan toast is yummy with all kinds of things - esp. oatmeal.

My dad (and his dad) loved fried egg sandwiches - egg yolks "runny" on
plain white untoasted bread. It was some sort of macho sport to see if you
could eat it without the yolk dripping all down your shirt. go figure.

Then there's the grilled cheese. Butter one side of the bread, put in
skillet, add cheese, top with another slice of bread buttered on the
outside side. Lightly brown "down side", flip and lightly brown the other
side. Yum, Yum.

One of my "comfort foods" is a pan toasted, scrambled egg, and crispy
strips of bacon sandwich with a bit of mayo. It does take 3 skillets to
make it, but what the heck? Comfort food knows no cost.

I don't think I'll tell Crash. He's so proud of his dad's cooking.
Crash's mom died when he was 12, and suddenly, Ed had to learn to cook
for himself and four of the most hellacious children ever born.

Thanks for the info, though. I'll just keep it our little secret.

To redeem Crash's cred somewhat - it's definitely not egg on toast as known
in the UK 🙂 That's a slice of buttered toast (done in the toaster) with
scrambled egg on top. Anything which involves browning buttered bread in a
skillet is almost certainly USian, not Brit. (eg, Brit cheese-on-toast as
compared to the US grilled cheese sandwich).

(ObFriedEggSarnies - the best version of the Red Dwarf
chili-chutney-egg-sarnie incorporates a lightly toasted barmcake (a bit like
an English muffin, but lighter), thin scraping of butter, and a generous
dollop of Branston Hot chutney. The egg should be soft- rather than
hard-fried, otherwise it's no fun to watch the inebriated eating it :-)

Okay, anyone who doesn't believe in the power of suggestion should
note that I'm now sitting down with 1-1/2 grilled cheese sandwiches.
Not quite sure what happened with the other half.
