Pork Roll Egg and Cheese Bagel Grilled Cheese
THIS pork roll egg and cheese grilled cheese is the bomb! It features everything that is beautiful in the world: farm fresh eggs, artisanal cheese, trendy NYC bagels, locally made hot sauce, and responsibly made breakfast meat. Basically this is a grilled cheese in a metaphorical leather jacket.
Ingredients
- 1 bagel
- ½ cup cheese I used Kinsman Ridge Cheese by Jasper Hill
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce I used A&B American Style Pepper Sauce
- 2 over easy eggs
- 3 slices pork roll
- 1 pat salted butter
Instructions
- Begin by adding four cuts to the exterior of the pork roll - this will help it crisp up evenly.
- Add the slices to a pan over medium heat. Cook on both sides until crispy. Remove and set aside — leaving the grease in the pan.
- Next, cut the bagel in half and flip it inside out so the interior is now the exterior.
- Lay half of the cheese on top then add the cooked pork roll and the rest of the cheese.
- Close the sandwich and lightly the outside.
- Now put the sandwich in the greased pan and cook on medium for a few minutes on both sides until the cheese has melted and the bagel is crispy.
- Once it’s done, remove from heat and add the eggs and however much hot sauce you’d like.
- Serve immediately.
