Sandwich Components

Eggs

Salad

Method

Preparing the Salad

  1. 1

    Dress the Arugula

    In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well combined. Pour over the arugula and toss gently to coat.

Cooking the Eggs and Protein

  1. 2

    Cook the Protein

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the local protein slices and cook until crispy and browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 3

    Cook the Eggs

    In the same skillet, crack the eggs gently. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Carefully flip the eggs and cook for an additional 1 minute until the whites are fully cooked.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Toast the Bread and Assemble

    While the eggs are cooking, toast the sourdough slices until golden brown. Once toasted, place a slice on a plate. Top with a slice of white cheddar, followed by the cooked local protein, and then the over-easy eggs. Finish with another slice of cheddar on top.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate and Serve

    Serve the broken yolk sandwich with the lightly dressed arugula on the side for a refreshing contrast.
