Chef Eli Kulp's upgrade on the classic egg sandwich, which he dubs The Hickory Town, is named after the historical handle for Lancaster, PA. You'll have extra gherkin mayo leftover—save it for your next sandwich.
Ingredients
2 servings
For the gherkin mayo:
For the crispy onions: (or substitute canned fried onions, such as French's)
For the sandwich:
Make the gherkin mayo:
Step 1
Mix together all mayo ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside.
Fry the onions (if making):
Step 2
Fry the onions (if making): Season the flour with salt and pepper and toss the onions in the flour. Fill a small pot with oil to a depth of 1/2-inch and heat the oil over medium heat. Fry the onions, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel lined plate and season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the sandwich:
Step 3
Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Spread the cut sides of the rolls or buns with butter, and toast in the skillet over medium heat until golden brown; set aside. Add the meat slices to the skillet and warm until slightly crisped, 2 to 3 minutes per side; set aside. Add oil to skillet and gently fry eggs over medium-low heat, until egg white has set but yolk is still soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Season the eggs with salt and pepper. Place the meat on the bottom bun, followed by the egg, cheese, crispy onions, and hot sauce, if using. Spread the top buns with 1 to 2 tablespoons gherkin mayo and close the sandwiches. Serve immediately.

Back to TopI am a breakfast sandwich fiend, and I found this sandwich fussy, but also fun to make. It is kind of sweet, and I am a savory guy. The next time, I think I will switch to a good ham instead of the bologna. The egg needs to be over easy, not sunny side up, or it will squirt all over you. The rest of the sandwich works just fine.
