Fried Egg Sandwich

Eggs: they’re not just for breakfast anymore! This indulgent egg sandwich is incredibly simple to make, but it’s filled with a dazzling array of flavors and textures, making it perfect for any time of day. It has such a nice balance of heat and freshness: the brioche bun is fluffy with the tiniest bit of sweet, the cream cheese and avocado layer is buttery and luxurious, and the chili oil crisps up around the edges of the egg — so satisfying!

Fried Egg Sandwich

Serves: 2

Ingredients

2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 brioche buns
2 Tbsp chili crisp in oil, plus more to taste
2 Tbsp Gelson’s 100% California extra virgin olive oil
2 large eggs
½ cup onion and chive cream cheese
1 avocado, thinly sliced
4 slices tomato
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam, about 2 minutes. Add the buns, cut sides down, and toast for about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside.

  2. Using a paper towel, wipe out the skillet. Add the chili crisp oil and olive oil and heat over medium high heat.

  3. Crack the eggs into the skillet. Cook the eggs, basting with a spoon, until the edges are crispy and the whites are set, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.

  4. To build one sandwich, smear ¼ cup of the cream cheese on the bottom bun and layer half of the avocado slices and 2 tomato slices on top. Season with salt and black pepper. Place an egg on top and drizzle with more chili crisp. Top with top bun and enjoy. Repeat with the second sandwich.
