Fried Egg Sandwich, with Two Eggs & Cheddar Cheese
Host Charlie sits down with Mark Shapiro, president and CEO of the Harry and Rose Sampson Family JCC, to talk about his upbringing, career path, and the JCC’s work to build a healthier, more inclusive Milwaukee.
Mark’s Fried Egg Sandwich
Mark shares his beloved two-egg fried egg sandwich recipe. It is made on a butter croissant with shredded cheddar. There are dairy-free options available. The sandwich is seasoned with Lawry’s and finished with hot sauces like chili crunch and Truff. The episode blends personal stories, community leadership, and a simple, comforting recipe.
Fried Egg Sandwich: The Ultimate Comfort Bite
Sometimes the simplest meals bring the biggest comfort. A fried egg sandwich is proof of that—it’s warm, hearty, and just the right mix of nostalgic and satisfying. Whether you grew up with one made quickly before school, you still remember its magic. Or maybe you discovered its charm as a late-night bite, and it never loses its magic.
At its heart, it’s just eggs, bread, and maybe a little butter or cheese. Yet, the beauty of a fried egg sandwich lies in its versatility, as it can be easily transformed. Want it classic? Stick with white toast, a fried egg, and a slice of American cheese. Feeling indulgent? Layer on crispy bacon, avocado, or a drizzle of hot sauce. Or keep it light and fresh with sourdough, arugula, and a swipe of garlic aioli.
Fried Egg Sandwich Variations
Every bite of a fried egg sandwich delivers comfort. The soft bread and rich egg create that balance of flavors. It feels both homey and a little indulgent. It’s quick to make and endlessly customizable. It’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or those moments when you just need something warm and reassuring.
Because sometimes, the best comfort food is the one that’s been in your kitchen all along.
