Challenge #29: Fried Things: Today's Breakfast

[miss_s_b]

I've been a busy bee the last week, but it's not like I didn't fry anything, so I thought I would share with you how I make a sausage sandwich. This is pretty quick, and happens a couple of times a week.

Equipment Needed:

• Frying pan/skillet
• hob
• Chopping board
• knife
• toaster, or preheated grill

Ingredients:

• Two sausages
• A tomato
• Two slices of bread

Method:

• Put your Frying pan/skillet on a medium heat, add a little fat to the bottom to prevent stickage and distribute the heat better (I used bacon fat today) and fry the sausages, turning frequently.


• Cut your tomato into 6ths


• This is where having a cast iron pan comes in handy, because you don't even have to take the sausages out of the pan for this bit: Once the sausages are cooked, cut them in half lengthwise and put them not-skin side down in the pan.


• Toast the bottom slice of what will be your sandwich, for structural integrity purposes. You can toast the top slice as well if you like, but I find that makes things over-crispy.


• Add the tomatoes to the pan and listen to the joyous sizzling.


• After about a minute turn the tomatoes over. Your pan should look like this:

• Assemble your sandwich: toasted bottom slice, then tomatoes, then sausage halves (skin side up), then top slice.


• Press down on the top slice so the tomatoes go all squishy and the juice soaks in to the sausages.
