Hands up for equality, on the plate. Harmony of meat, eggs, veggies and spreads.
Ingredients: 1 egg, 1 knob of butter, 2 slices of ham (turkey breast works perfect, bacon works heavenly), 3 leaves lettuce, 3 cherry (or normal, but minus the effect) tomatoes, 1 teaspoon barbecue sauce, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, salt/pepper.
The egg is half the effort here. Melt the butter on pan and when sizzling, and crack the egg directly onto the heat (hit once at the middle of the shell firmly with a knife to make a crack, then put the knife away and open it clear over the pan). Let it sizzle until the the white becomes truly white, the yolk firms and the sides crumple up into crispy brown edges. Turn off the heat, and transfer it onto a plate.
Let hope the ingredients are prepped. Order is everything - the harmony of rainbow of colours and tastes progress over the layers. On a thick slice of white bread, spread out a tablespoon of smoothly soothing mayonnaise and place the subtle signature ham on top. Next comes the tangy touch of the barbecue sauce - best between the smooth surfaces of the ham and the following still warm egg. After the bulk of the egg, the contrasting fresh and fluffy crisp of cold vegetables.
Sound chaotic? No wonder it started the main culinary role in the culturally clashing “Spanglish”. Cut it in half for effect, and let the yolk spill. Me gusta.
