sandwich essentials: sliced pork & egg sandwich
I came up with this idea, while I was staring at a loaf of Pullman bread I had just baked, and wondering what to do with it. I thought about beef, chicken, and finally settled on thinly-sliced, oven-baked pork tenderloin. Then, besides a “kicked up” mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomatoes, I threw a sunny-side-up egg on top for good measure. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
