Red Pepper Arugula Fried Egg Sandwich Recipes

FRIED SCRAPPLE AND EGG SANDWICH

Steps:

• Dredge the scrapple in the instant flour and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Heat the butter in a saute pan or skillet over medium heat and gently brown the scrapple on each side, about 3 minutes. Remove the scrapple from the pan and place on a paper-towel-lined tray. Top with the American cheese and allow to slowly melt on top for about 2 minutes. Discard the butter and wipe the pan. Fry the eggs sunny side up in fresh butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange the eggs over the slices of scrapple and cheese. Layer the scrapple, egg and cheese between 2 pieces of soft white bread, making 4 sandwiches total. Enjoy paired with freshly squeezed OJ.

ROASTED RED PEPPER, BABY ARUGULA, & GOAT CHEESE SANDWICHES WITH OPTIONAL BACON

Steps:

• Slice the ciabatta bread in half lengthwise and then cut about a five-inch hunk of bread for each sandwich. Lay sandwich inside-up and begin layering.
• First, add a couple of layers of the roasted red peppers. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt. I add a little more salt for the veggie sandwich, and just a tad for the carnivore's sandwich because it will have the natural saltiness of bacon, too. Pile a handful of arugula onto each sandwich, then crumble the goat cheese onto the arugula, dividing evenly between the two sandwiches. Lay the bacon on top, if using. Drizzle a teaspoon or so of the olive oil from the roasted red peppers onto the top of the whole thing and lightly dust with black pepper.
• Close up those sandwiches, slice in half, and serve!

OPEN FACED EGG SANDWICHES WITH ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Mix garlic and mayonnaise together in a small bowl. Spread mayonnaise on 1 side of the bread slices. Mix arugula with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until coated; divide arugula in fourths, placing each portion atop mayonnaise side of a bread slice.
• Spray a skillet with cooking spray, place over medium-high heat, and crack eggs into skillet, one at a time. Cook on one side only until whites are firm and yolks are slightly runny, 2 to 3 minutes. Season eggs with salt and black pepper. Gently place an egg on each open-face sandwich.

FRIED EGG, RED PEPPER, GARLIC, AND HERB TOPPING FOR PASTA

Steps:

• While the pasta for this dish is cooking, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the eggs and cook, sunny-side up, basting with a spoon, for 2 to 3 minutes without turning, or until the eggs are just done (the yolks must remain runny). Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle eggs with coarse salt and hot red pepper flakes.
• You must time this dish so that the pasta is ready as soon as the eggs are done. Place the pasta on a serving platter and toss with the Parmigiano-Reggiano, additional red pepper flakes, and parsley. Pour the contents of the egg pan, including the oil, butter, and garlic, onto the pasta. Garnish pasta and eggs with oregano or sage and serve immediately. Pass the additional Parmigiano-Reggiano at the table.

FRIED PEPPER "WET" SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a large, deep skillet set over moderate heat, heat the oil. Add the peppers and salt and pepper to taste, and fry, turning frequently, until the peppers are browned and soft. As the peppers soften, gently crush them into the oil with the back of a large spoon and continue to fry until they're very soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a bowl and let them cool to room temperature. Season with additional salt and pepper and, if desired, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.
• Split the loaf in half lengthwise leaving one side hinged, and remove some of the inner crumb. Spoon the peppers with some of their liquid onto the Italian loaf and cut into 4 sandwiches.
