The fried egg on sourdough

20 min · 2

The simplest great one: a runny fried egg, a sausage patty and something green on griddled sourdough.

Save it and it opens in Chef Amazing with a timeline, mise en place, what you already have and a shopping list.

The real one

You need

• 4 slices sourdough
• 2 eggs
• 2 breakfast sausage patties or 4 slices bacon
• 2 tbsp pesto (or bacon jam, or honey)
• 2 slices white cheddar
• 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp butter
• Flaky salt and pepper

How to make it

1. Cook the sausage patties in the oil over medium heat, 4 minutes a side. Set aside.
2. Butter the bread and griddle it in the same pan until golden on one side.
3. Fry the eggs sunny side up or over easy, keeping the yolk runny. Lay the cheese on the toasted side of two slices to soften.
4. Spread pesto on the other slices, add the sausage and egg, flaky salt and pepper, close and cut in half over the plate.

Tips

• Cut it over the plate: the yolk is part of the sauce.
• Honey, bacon and white cheddar make it the St. Louis Combo.
