We were a little surprised at the number of times the sandwich from the film Spanglish was mentioned in the comments section of our welcome note for last Thursday's launch. We definitely didn't suspect a little fried egg sandwich would dominate the chatter (even if it was developed by famed Chef, Thomas Keller), but we were pleased by how many people jumped in.
Nestled in those 30-something comments was Enrique's post, putting us all out of our misery and finally revealing the recipe [via Collective Detective]
World's Greatest Sandwich
3-4 slices of bacon
2 slices of Monterey Jack cheese
2 slices of toasted rustic country loaf (pain de campagne)
1 tbsp of mayo
4 tomato slices
2 leaves of butter lettuce (yes, it’s called butter lettuce)
1 teaspoon butter
1 egg
YES! I was wondering the same thing too.
you know -- i WASN'T wondering about the spanglish sammich... but man, am i glad I found out how to make it. think i'll go fix myself one right now. thanks!
My favorite egg sandwich is the Monster Egg Sandwich from the Boerum Hill Food Company, on Smith St. in Brooklyn. It's a personal-sized ciabbata, about 7 inches long, with cheddar melted on both sides. They scramble a few eggs *perfectly*, add slices of crispy country bacon, and smoosh it all together. Heaven. I order it for dinner after late nights at the office. You have to ask and make sure they haven't run out of ciabbata, though, because it's no good on regular bread.
For starters, I live in Tasmania Australi, and I cant seem to find any Jack Montreal cheese!!!
Help me please!!!!
it is monterey jack. a reasonable substitute would be a young gouda or any sort of melty smooth white cheese. colby? cheddar would be good too.
Does anyone have a picture of this?
