The ULTIMATE Egg Sandwich | With Eggs 2 Ways, Potatoes & Spicy Aioli
This Egg Sandwich is what comfort food is all about. It´s packed with layers of flavors, made with simple ingredients and promises to fill your body with so much goodness. Serve it as a relaxed weekend breakfast or even for dinner next to an ice cold beer. Either way, this is the ultimate egg sandwich.
The beauty of this egg sandwich is that it has eggs cooked two ways. Fried and omelette. This gives the sandwich the most incredible texture and flavor. For the eggs I used cage-free organic. As always, on recipes this simple, the higher the quality of the ingredients the better the overall flavor.
What gives this the aioli that spicy kick is the hot smoked Spanish paprika. It adds a smoky touch with a bit of heat, but not over-powering. If you want more heat, you can always add in a pinch of chili powder.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: Make sure to lightly toast the sandwich bread before adding the ingredients. This will ensure the bread doesn´t get soggy and fall apart.
