World’s Greatest Sandwich Improved With Sauce!
For my first sauce taste test I selected The Boulder Hot Sauce Company Smokey Serrano. I know I said I might try each one on scrambled eggs, but I already cheated and used this sauce on a sandwich. I opened the top and gave the sauce a long sniff, it smells a little bit like chipotle, smokey and peppery, with strong undertones of garlic and vinegar. I put a bit on my finger and tasted it. Wow, it seemed really hot to me, (remember I’m a newbie)but, I immediately wanted more.
Next, I prepared my sandwich, this is probably my favorite sandwich, I make it quite often – it’s good for any meal, really. The inspiration comes from Thomas Keller’s “World’s Greatest Sandwich” which was featured in the movie Spanglish. Anyhow, this is what you need:
New and Improved World’s Greatest Sandwich:
2 slices of sourdough bread
1 egg
1 small tomato, sliced
1/2 cup (good sized handful of greens)
cheddar or other sharp cheese
mayo
salt and pepper
hot sauce
Slice the cheese and put on the bread, put in toaster oven or under broiler until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted. Fry the egg until cooked, but yolk is still runny. Slather one side of bread with mayo generously, then shake some hot sauce on there. Top with tomatoes, lettuce, egg, and bread with cheddar. Enjoy! This sandwich is also excellent with bacon. Because really, what isn’t?
I put what I thought would be a lot of hot sauce on the sandwich, but the heat that I initially experienced by licking some sauce off my finger was greatly tempered by the ingredients. I ended up putting a lot more sauce on there. The smokey spiciness of this sauce went perfectly with the egg, cheese and veggies. I had been a firm believer that the World’s Greatest Sandwich could not be improved, but yes, yes it could. I will never make this sandwich without hot sauce again!
