Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Eggs

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and fry until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Toast the bread slices until golden brown. On the bottom slice, layer a slice of Kentucky ham, followed by a generous amount of aged cheddar cheese, and then place the fried egg on top.

  3. 3

    Add Smoky Aioli

    Spread a tablespoon of smoky aioli over the top slice of bread, then place it on top of the sandwich to close.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half and serve warm. Enjoy your KY Sunrise!
