Pork Roll Egg and Cheese

This pork roll egg and cheese breakfast sandwich is a jersey staple and is one of my favorite ways to start the day. It’s loaded with crispy pork roll (aka taylor ham), a fried egg, lots of cheese and it’s all piled onto a kaiser bun.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pat Salted Butter
  • 1 large Egg
  • 3 slices Pork Roll
  • 2 slices White Cheese (such as fontina)
  • 1 Kaiser Roll
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Cut two quarter inch slits on each slice of pork roll so that it can fry flat and not puff up.
  • Add pork roll to a large fry pan or griddle over medium heat. Flipping as the bottom gets slightly crispy.
  • While it’s cooking, add the butter to the other side of your cooking surface and crack your egg. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Fry the egg to your liking - flipping half way through. I recommend cooking it over medium.
  • Add two slices of cheese on top of the egg and let it melt
  • Stack the fried pork roll on top of the cheesy egg to help the cheese melt.
  • Turn the heat off and split the kaiser bun and place it on the skillet, moving it around to absorb all the grease and butter remaining in the pan.
  • Toast it for about a minute or until the bread is warmed and slightly toasted.
  • Place the toasted bun on a cutting board and add ketchup if you’re into that. Top with the egg cheese pork roll stack. Add hot sauce to the top bun if you like a little heat. Close the sandwich up and serve right away or wrap in tinfoil.
