The “Spanglish” Sandwich

by Thomas Keller

The Spanglish Sandwich is as good as advertised, and it far surpasses the movie that bore it. I highly recommend that you give it a try.

Re: Youtube Sandwiches | The Worlds Best Sandwich

Ingredients:
3-4 slices of bacon
2 slices of Monterey Jack cheese
2 slices of toasted rustic country loaf (pain de campagne)
preferred substitution used here: sourdough boule)
1 tbsp of mayo
4 tomato slices
2 leaves of butter head lettuce (Boston lettuce variety works here)
1 teaspoon butter
1 egg

Equipment:
Frying pan
Sheet of tinfoil
2 sandwich picks (optional)
Defibrillator (optional, but highly recommended)

Cooking instructions:

Prepare tomato slices, cheese, and lettuce leaves first, put them on the side so that they’re ready to go when you need them. With a medium-sized frying pan, lay out the bacon slices and set the range to medium heat. Watch it, but let it take care of itself and cook until crispy; it’ll take 8-10 minutes (flip once if you like midway through). Meanwhile, preheat broiler; lay bread slices on a sheet of tinfoil and broil each side of bread slices for 20 seconds to toast. Put cheese slices on one bread slice and heat additional 20 seconds on foil. Remove and set aside. (Optional: leave broiler on, and right before you top sandwich off with cheese slice, heat again for 10-15 seconds to soften cheese again) Finish bacon, drain on paper towels. While you wait for this, clean frying pan (or use a second) and throw it back on medium heat with the butter slice. When the butter is melted, break egg into pan and wait for whites to set. VERY IMPORTANT: if the egg yolk breaks before you actually put the egg on the sandwich, discard and start the egg frying over. Flip egg and cook for 20 seconds, remove from heat. On the plain toasted bread slice, apply mayo, layer bacon slices, tomato, and lettuce. Top lettuce with the egg and, finally, with the cheese topped slice of bread (cheese side down, of course).

We’re not done yet, folks. If you have the sandwich picks, you might want to use one on each side of the sandwich. Take a bread slicer and cut right down the middle, holding the sandwich gently but firmly. This is when you want the yolk to break; as it does, it runs down the side of the sandwich in a glorious golden waterfall of cholesterol. Did we mention yet that this sandwich is 1200 calories? Congratulate yourself by saying, “Bueno fat sandwich”. Charge defibrillator before serving.
