When we moved to NY, we chose to live outside of the city. However, one of my favorite parts about NYC is breakfast. Bagels, of course, but also the Egg & Cheese on a Roll you can get at just about EVERY deli you walk into. There's nothing uniquely special about it - it's a fried egg (or two), melty American cheese and a soft roll. But the combination is to die for, and I swear I could probably eat two sandwiches in one setting I KNOW, I HAVE A PROBLEM.
This morning I decided to make them at home, substituting an English muffin for the roll. I quickly fried up an egg (in one of those tiny pans you can buy at the drug store), melted some American cheese on top, and placed on a toasted, buttery English muffin. Perfection in the suburbs of the city.
And I love you back, because you posted this Eggncheese. I grew up near NYC and there is nothing like this classic. When I go back to visit, I get one every day, sometimes with bacon, on a grilled hard roll. When we make our own, we use english muffin bread, toasted and buttered. Home sweet home!
