About the dish

The fried egg sandwich is a simple and comforting American dish that's typically prepared with slices of sourdough bread, fried eggs, and cheddar cheese. In order to prepare it, the cheese is sandwiched between two slices of bread and broiled. A fried egg is then placed inside the sandwich before it's served. There are many variations on this sandwich, and the additions often include bacon, cold cuts, or sausages. In New Jersey, they add pork roll to the sandwich, while in the South, cooks usually add bacon and avocado. It is recommended to serve the fried egg sandwich for breakfast.
