Instructions

1
Cut small slits in three or four spots around the edges of the pork roll slices. This keeps them flat.
2
Cook the pork roll on the griddle over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes per side until the edges turn brown.
3
Push the pork roll aside. Crack the egg onto the griddle and fry it until it is cooked the way you like.
4
Place the cheese slice on top of the egg during the last 30 seconds to melt.
5
Place the split kaiser roll on the griddle. Toast until it turns lightly golden.
6
Stack the cooked pork roll, egg, and cheese onto the roll.
7
Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with ketchup on the side.

Chef's tips

Cut small slits around the edges of the pork roll slices so they stay flat while frying. Toast the roll cut-side down for extra crispness.

Storage

Best eaten immediately; leftover cooked pork roll keeps refrigerated 2 days.

Reheating

Reheat pork roll and egg briefly in a dry skillet; toast the roll fresh.

Common mistakes to avoid

•Forgetting to slit the pork roll edges, which makes the slices curl up instead of browning evenly
•Cooking the egg too long if you want a soft, runny yolk
