Open-Faced Frico Egg Sandwich

The layer of melted and crisped cheese—the frico—is what makes this creamy sandwich unique. If you like spicy aoli, add two large cloves of garlic. —Julie Solis, Congers, New York

    4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Dash pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices Italian bread (1 inch thick), lightly toasted
  • 1/2 cup sandwich giardiniera, drained and finely chopped
  • 4 thin slices tomato
  • Minced fresh parsley

Directions

  • For aioli, in a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan into large nonstick skillet; heat over medium heat. Cook just until melted, about 2 minutes. Break eggs, 1 at a time, into a custard cup or saucer, then gently slide into pan over Parmesan. Immediately reduce heat to low. To prepare eggs sunny-side up, cover pan and cook until yolks thicken but are not hard, 4-5 minutes.
  • Spread aioli over toasted bread. Top with giardiniera, tomato and egg. Sprinkle with parsley.

    I have never made anything like this before and i had no idea what giardiniera was but it was actually impressively easy to find in the grocery store. Turns out its pickled veggies. I chose to make it because it is for sure something i never would and i am so glad i did because it certainly didn't disappoint. Very good.
