Egg Sandwich
Ingredients
bread (we used the same everything French bread from last night's grilled cheeses)
eggs (about two per sandwich)
salt and pepper
cheese (I had white cheddar)
butter
Equipment
skillet, pan, stove
Instructions
Mix up eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper like you're making scrambled eggs (because you totally are). Butter a skillet and start the bread toasting. Cut your cheese into tiny cubes. Butter a pan and heat it up. Add the eggs. When they just start to cook, add the cheese. Keep stirring it and chopping it with the spoon until you have scrambled eggs. Keep an eye on your toast (flip it over when one side is toasted). Once everything's done, make sandwiches.
Yields
I made three sandwiches out of four eggs.
Total time
About 15 minutes

All you have to deal with is a buttery skillet, an eggy pan, and a raw eggy bowl.

Yum! Simple but delicious. Hard to go wrong with butter, bread, eggs, and cheese.
Difficulty rating 2/10
Super easy. Unless you're terrible at cracking eggs. Then it's like a 3. Or like 5 if you're really, really bad at it.
Adjustability: high
It's a sandwich... add whatever you want! Use different cheeses, mix in vegetables or meats, add stuff like lettuce or tomato or whatever you want. That's what I love about sandwiches.
Make it with...
I made it with the recipe below, toasted edamame. But again... it's a sandwich. Chips, pretzels, veggies, whatever floats your boat.
Cost
Half a dozen eggs: about $2
Everything French bread from Walmart: $1
Butter from kitchenventory
Brick of white cheddar cheese from Target: about $3

Toasted Edamame

a few Tbsp Parmesan cheese
about 1 tsp minced garlic

Yields
a bag's worth of edamame
Total time
about 15 minutes
Cleanup rating 1/5
You have an oily bowl (or colander if you're like me and get tired of being told there's too much oil in your vegetables, so you added oil while the vegetables were still in the colander) and, if you line your baking sheet with foil, a piece of foil to throw away.
Flavor rating 7/10
I think this is an excellent vegetable side dish, personally. Our edamame had been sitting in the freezer for about a year, so it was a tiny bit tough, but it was still tasty.
Difficulty rating 1/10
The hardest part was opening the jar of minced garlic.
Adjustability: medium
You could use other spices or herbs or something, but that's about it.
Make it with...
Anything! It's a side dish. Goes with any meat, any non-meat, any sandwich, whatever.
