I do believe all college students can agree that finals week means an assortment of very off behaviors. The sleeping and eating routines in particular are the strangest. On this Tuesday December 6th, the day before my last final and taking of the CBEST exam, I am ignoring Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner and partaking in Brunch, Linner, and Late Night Snack. Again this is a Trader Joes filled sandwich.
- Whole Wheat Sourdough
- Emmentaler Cheese
- Gruyere Cheese
- Sliced Chicken Breast
- Caramelized Onions
- Sliced Tomato
- Romaine Lettuce
- Red Wine Vinegar
- Salt
- Pepper
- Cayenne Pepper
- Large Egg
(1) Caramelize the onions and crisp up sliced of chicken in a frying pan with olive oil
(2) Lay slices of the cheese evenly along the slices of bread
(3) Layer the onions and chicken onto the bottom slice of bread and put two tomato slices over top of that. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper and a little bit of olive oil.
(4) Put the sandwich in a panini press (or george foreman grill or each loaded slice in a toaster oven OR in a frying pan to get the cheese to melt and bread to crisp)(5) Grill the sandwich for as long as it takes to fry an egg, make sure to keep the yolk runny!
(5a) To properly fry the egg, coat a frying pan in olive oil, turn the burner on medium heat, crack the egg right over the pan, wait until the white has set completely on the bottom (3-5 minutes), flip the egg over, let cook for another 20 seconds
(6) Cut up some leaves of romaine and dress with red wine vinegar to eat with each bite of sandwich (adds some contrasting flavor and texture)
(7) Take sandwich off of the panini grill, slide fried egg on top
Enjoy some noms, Good luck with finals!!!
