I Dream of Dinner has a bunch of suggestions for "Emergency Fried Egg Sandwiches," one of which is sauerkraut, bacon & mustard.  Though there is no emergency here, I decide to try it. Instead of bacon, I diced up some country ham and crisped it up in the pan before frying the egg.

There's a layer of kraut under the egg and plenty of Dijon on both sides of the bun   Could have cooked the egg a tad longer but easy enough to sop up the yolk with the bun. 

Not bad.

Would you consider trying that with kimchi as the fermented cabbage? Egg as always enticing.

Yes, I’ve done that before and will do it again. It was actually on my mind for today but I like it with avocado and sadly, the one I planned to use was no good so i pivoted to this.

Egg, prosciutto and Parmesan baked in a portobello mushroom

@Anna N might be surprised to hear that I got this idea from her....well, read on if you want to follow the circuitous route...

 

Over in the Pinsa Romana topic, Anna shared a link to an organization that set itself up as some sort of pinsa authentication authority.  I followed the link and decided to check and see if any of the LA area restaurants specializing in pinsa had been vetted by this group, which seems to require restaurants to purchase their flour mix for the privilege of being authenticated  🙄.  The only local spot listed was not one of the speciality places I might have expected but "Pizza Boy" in Glendale, an establishment with such a wide-ranging menu of wings, ribs, soups, salads, pasta, sandwiches, Ajarski khachapuri, pizza of every description and, indeed, pinsa, that I couldn't help but scroll through it in some detail.  As one would expect for SoCal, everything is available in vegan, gluten-free and low-carb options.  Yes, you can get a low-carb khachapuri with the basturma, cheese and egg stuffed into a portobello mushroom!  
They also offer a stuffed mushroom that I decided to copy for my breakfast with prosciutto, egg and Parmesan.  And now, I'm posting it and tagging @Anna N to close the winding loop!

 

Was worried that I'd overcooked it but still had a runny yolk!

Great breakfast idea. I think we visited that one before in some fashion. Must add portobellos to my grocery list. 
I was almost sorry that I posted that link worrying that somebody might think I was buying into the BS. Nonetheless I found it very interesting. Gotta love those ancient Romans.

Left a batch of dough in the fridge since last Saturday.
Took out last night around 7:00 and left out on the counter until 4:30 this morning.
So a 96 hour cold fermentation. and a 9.5 hour rise before shaping.

Three baguettes, last one out of the oven 20 minutes ago.
In time for breakfast.

Promised Moe I would make a pot of potato leek soup this morning. He had some for breakfast and I'm going to take the same for lunch.

Another of the "emergency fried egg sandwich" suggestions in I Dream of Dinner was a chorizo patty + kale

image.thumb.jpeg.12eeb8fd2f0ce4bf85d526fb43731e65.jpeg

I mixed up a mayo from Max's Sandwich Book with sweet smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic and lemon juice and applied that to both sides of a toasted brioche bun, sautéed some baby kale and other greens with garlic, cooked up a chorizo patty and fried an egg.  Quite good. I started out with a thinner patty but it contracted during cooking.  I think I'll shape some of the chorizo into thinner patties that I can cook directly from frozen for this purpose.

Is Moe a “dunker”? I see that gorgeous soup and that bread and I know exactly how much I would enjoy it but only if I were completely alone!:smile:

In some cultures (including mine) dunking is expected, as is wiping your plate/bowl with last of bread to not lose a drop of sauce ;)  No need to enjoy it alone. Picking up plate to lick might cross an etiquette line.

@blue_dolphin can you expand on chorizo patty? Also really like the spread you created.  Many thik of kale as "chewy" - so in a sandwich it might pull out or be difficult. Was yours chopped?

 

I purchased a package of frozen, ground chorizo from Wild Fork and it's been in my freezer for a while. It's uncooked and says "Spanish-style ground chorizo" so I wasn't quite sure what to expect.  I just pulled off a piece, shaped it into a patty and cooked it in a pan.  The seasoning is different (flavorful but not spicy-hot, paprika-forward) and it's less fatty than most Mexican-style chorizo I've purchased or made myself. I'll shape up more patties and freeze them for future use. 

 

The baby kale is pretty tender.  I did run a knife very roughly through the greens after I sautéed them.

I'm a big fan of creative breakfast sandwiches and have seen some great examples on this forum. Honourable mentions to @blue_dolphin and @Ann_T.

This morning's effort: lettuce, black pudding, mushroom with green onion, roasted red pepper, a tad overdone egg, old cheddar and lots of black pepper. Finished with the last of this season's fresh wild blueberries and blackberries and coffee.

Another of the emergency fried egg sandwich ideas from I Dream of Dinner is "griddled red onion and chili crisp."  I grilled the onion on the Phillips and while it was still warm, tossed it with an ample amount of chili crisp. Layered that on a grilled brioche bun smeared with a dab of chili crisp-rice vinegar-mayo and piled with arugula.  Topped off with a crispy fried egg.

Taking a break from the egg sandwiches but still had a brioche bun left so I turned to a recipe for "Sloppy Lennys" in I Dream of Dinner.  Basically a Sloppy Joe, made with lentils instead of ground beef.  

Onion rings and tomatoes on the slide.

I have zero fond memories of Sloppy Joes but this was surprisingly flavorful.  I did put a generous smear of Dijon on the bottom bun. Topped with pickled jalapeños and crispy fried onions.

These may be called Sloppy Lennys but I am not a sloppy dolphin so after taking the photo, I added more lentils to the top bun and ate everything with a knife and fork!

 

Edited to add that I can’t imagine anyone here would want to make this, but just in case, the recipe can be found online here. I omitted the sugar.

Never say never…that looks like something I would make and portion for weekday lunch!

Like blue_dolphin, I have zero fond memories of Sloppy Joes. Never really understood the point, and the name still evokes unhappy memories from childhood when I'd be at a picnic or a friend's house and was expected to delight in those things.

 

That said, this does look good...as long as I don't have to put it on a burger bun and eat it that way! Thanks for the link.

I happened to remark quite offhandedly to a visiting friend that I rather fancied some lime marmalade. As if by magic, this showed up

I got up early and baked a little 1/3 scale Queen Elizabeth cake using a recipe from a friends mum. This photo is a tea towel that my friend had printed with her mother’s recipe:

No photo because I managed to ignite the topping under the broiler 🔥🧯🙄but I had a slice for my breakfast and it didn’t taste bad.
