Panera Fried Egg Sandwich

We found it on Panera's website along with several other of their delicious sandwiches and other recipes, however, I wasn't able to find it when I checked back. There are several other sandwiches on their site, though.

They do have another site, Panera at Home, with several of their sandwich recipes. See below for the list of recipes available. You may want to try one of their sandwiches as well as some of their other recipes.

I love bread too much (is there such a thing?) and have to make sure that I don't overdo it. When I do find a good sandwich recipe though, I just have to try it at least once. Although nowadays I substitute plant-based options for the meat or dairy ingredients.

So here you go, the recipe. And if you just want to try it without making it, head on over to Panera's to see if they still offer it. I'm sure they'll make one especially for you if you ask nicely. 

Panera Fried Egg Sandwich
with Parmigiano-Reggiano
and Cremini Mushrooms

The Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter
• 3 large cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
• salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 large eggs
• 2 slices Sourdough bread, toasted
• 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated, loosely packed

Instructions:

1. In a medium sauté pan over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter.
2. Sauté the sliced mushrooms with salt and pepper for about 3 to 5 minutes, until most of the liquid has cooked out.
3. Remove from pan and wipe clean.
4. In the same sauté pan, heat the remaining butter over medium-high heat and crack both eggs into the hot pan, being careful not to break the yolks.
5. Season with salt and pepper.
6. When the egg white begins to turn opaque and bubble on the sides, gently flip the eggs over.
7. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer.
8. Top one slice of toast with the eggs, sautéed mushrooms and grated cheese.
9. Top with the other slice of bread and enjoy.

Just reading the ingredients makes me want to run to the store and them so I can make a vegan version of this sandwich. Vegan butter, vegan cheese, and marinated and fried sliced tofu as a substitute for the eggs..... I think that might work.

Either way, it sounds yummy and one that I might have to add to my weekly menu. This sandwich with soup or a side salad would be great. And maybe a smoothie and fries. The Panera Fried Egg sandwich is a good starting point no matter what you choose to go with it.

Have you tried this recipe? Or had it at Panera Bread? How was it? I bet it was delicioso!! Panera Bread is a great restaurant if you're a sandwich lover.
