Egg and Goetta Sandwich

[Show as slideshow]

—

A fairly simple but dense breakfast sandwich. If you can’t get a hold of goetta substitute your favorite breakfast meat.

Goetta, by the way, is really just ground meat (usually pork or beef) and oats. It’s a Cincinnati, OH food, so it can be hard to find outside of Ohio (or Cincinnati for that matter). If you really want some meat on your hobo toast bacon or sausage works fine, but why use inferior breakfast meats when goetta is available?

Actually, goetta was originally to stretch out meat for poor Germans but that is neither here nor there.

Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 piece of bread. (3 pieces for a sandwich.)
• 1 egg.
• 1 goetta (or inferior breakfast meat) patty.
• Enough butter to coat both sides of a piece of bread.
• Chipotle, garlic powder, salt, pepper and basil to taste.
• 1 piece of cheese

Directions:

If you can see without your glasses, take them off for step 1. Getting grease on your glasses is terrible.

1. Cut your goetta and toss it in a hot skillet. treat it just like sausage, flipping once it’s nice and solid. It might start to brown a bit around the edge. Watch for hot grease, as the goetta patty will start popping.
2. Put the goetta aside on a paper towel to get rid of some grease.
3. Cut a large hole in the center of a piece of bread and lightly butter both sides, then stick it in a hot skillet.
4. Crack the egg into the hole and season it however you would like. Use a lower heat. Maybe a 1-3.
5. Once the egg seems to be cooking most of the way through go ahead and flip the toast and the egg it now contains.
6. Let the egg cook through completely or leave the yolk liquidy. It’s up to you. Also season that side.
7. If you don’t want to make a sandwich, you’re done!
8. If you do want to make a sandwich, just put the hobo toast, goetta and cheese between two pieces of bread. Hooray sandwiches.
