Instructions
- 1
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the scrapple slices for 3-4 minutes per side until crisp and browned.
- 2
Move the scrapple to a plate and keep it warm. Melt butter in the same skillet and fry the eggs to desired doneness.
- 3
Place cheddar cheese over the eggs during the last minute of cooking so it melts.
- 4
Toast the kaiser rolls lightly in the skillet or a toaster.
- 5
Spread apple butter onto the bottom half of each roll.
- 6
Layer the fried scrapple slices and a cheesy fried egg on top.
- 7
Season with salt and pepper. Close the sandwich and serve right away.
Chef's tips
Cook the scrapple in a hot skillet without moving the slices too early, so they build a deep crust.
Storage
Best assembled and eaten fresh.
Reheating
Not recommended for reheating as a full sandwich; reheat scrapple slices separately in a skillet.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Slicing the scrapple too thin so it breaks apart when flipped
- •Skipping the resting time on the roll, which makes the sandwich soggy
