Ingredients
Scale
For the Fried Egg
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp butter (for frying)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
For the Sandwich
- 2 slices of bread
- 1 tsp butter (for bread)
- 2–3 slices salami
- 1–2 slices cheese (such as cheddar or your choice)
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg: Heat 1 teaspoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the egg into the buttered skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until the egg white is fully set but the yolk remains slightly runny or cooked to your preference.
- Butter the Bread: Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. This will help create a golden, crispy crust when grilling.
- Assemble the Sandwich: On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer the fried egg, followed by salami slices and cheese. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
- Grill the Sandwich: Place the sandwich in the skillet over medium heat. Grill until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted, about 2-3 minutes per side. Press gently with a spatula to help the sandwich hold together.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use any type of bread you prefer; sourdough or whole wheat also work well.
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or some sliced jalapeños.
- You can substitute salami with other deli meats like ham or turkey if desired.
- To ensure the cheese melts perfectly, cover the skillet with a lid while grilling briefly.
- Watch the egg closely to prevent overcooking the yolk if you prefer it runny.
