Hammy’s Egg Sammy

A simple sandwich that my mom would trust me around the stove with when I was in my early teens. A bit of a misnomer since it doesn’t have ham (it’s a consistent request of my middle child Cam, whom I call Hammy)—this is the perfect wake-up any day of the week. But especially after a night of the aforementioned chili and Red Eye.

Which wasn’t my reason for making them when I was in my early teens.

Ingredients:

2 fresh, jumbo-sized eggs
4 slices of Applegate - Natural Good Morning Bacon
2 kaiser sandwich rolls
6 thin slices of Yancey's Fancy sharp cheddar cheese
Hellman’s Mayonnaise

Directions:

Fry eggs over-medium. It’s ok to make them a little on the well-done side to stiffen up the yolk. Cook bacon. Medium well. Toast rolls, lay 3 pieces of cheese on one slice, add mayo to the other. Place bacon on cheese. Eggs on bacon. Maybe some pepper. Tops on each.

Grab a strong cup of coffee. Maybe some orange juice as well. If you’re feeling adventurous, grab a banana or some strawberries and blueberries.

Try not to bite your own fingers while scarfing them down.

This is one in a series of posts about our project, called The Table—a cookbook full of favorite recipes, and the images and stories that go with them, from each member of the Brandtatorship team past and present. From breakfasts to entrées, desserts to cocktails, we’ll be unveiling new recipes to this page throughout the year. If you'd like a cookbook, please contact us. In the meantime, pull up a chair. We’re glad to have you.
