Ingredients
- 1 pork roll slice
- 1 large egg
- 1 slice cheese
- 1 sandwich bun
- Butter for frying
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Take out the pork roll slice, large egg, cheese slice, sandwich bun, and butter. Allow ingredients to come to room temperature for even cooking.
- Cut the pork roll slice with a small knife around the edges to prevent curling during cooking. Make 2-3 small cuts in the center to prevent bubbling.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add a small pat of butter to coat the cooking surface evenly.
- Place the pork roll slice in the hot skillet. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until edges become crispy and slightly browned.
- While the pork roll is cooking, lightly toast the sandwich bun in a toaster or on the same skillet until golden brown.
- In the same skillet, create a small space and crack the egg. Cook the egg sunny-side up or over-easy, depending on your preference. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- During the last minute of cooking, place the cheese slice on top of the pork roll to allow it to melt slightly.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place the toasted bun on a plate, layer the melted cheese-topped pork roll, and carefully add the cooked egg on top.
- Optional: Add condiments like ketchup, hot sauce, or mayonnaise to enhance flavor if desired.
- Cut the sandwich in half diagonally, serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your classic Pork Roll Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: Have all your ingredients ready and at room temperature to ensure even cooking and a smoother assembly process.
- Prevent Curling: Make small cuts around the edges of the pork roll to prevent it from curling up while cooking, ensuring even browning.
- Use the Right Heat: Medium-high heat is key. Too high and you risk burning the pork roll; too low and it won't get crispy.
- Customize Your Egg: Experiment with cooking your egg to your liking—sunny-side up for a runny yolk or over-easy for a firmer texture.
- Melt the Cheese Perfectly: Add the cheese during the last minute of cooking to achieve that perfect melt without overcooking the pork roll.
- Toast the Bun: A lightly toasted bun adds a delightful crunch and prevents it from becoming soggy when you assemble the sandwich.
- Add Your Favorite Condiments: Don’t hesitate to personalize your sandwich with condiments like ketchup, hot sauce, or mayonnaise for an extra flavor boost!
