Ingredients
Sandwiches are the perfect way to serve up a satisfying meal especially when you are cooking for just one or two. This hearty Portuguese inspired dish which is made in under 20 minutes is topped with an egg for added protein. Serve with a side of peas and piri piri sauce.
- 6 oz (180 g) extra-lean ground beef
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
- 2 tsp (10 mL) smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 slices bread
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter, softened, divided
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices mozzarella cheese, cut into strips
- Chopped fresh parsley and piri piri sauce, optional
- 1 ½ cups (375 mL) hot cooked peas
Preparation
In a bowl, mix ground beef, smoked paprika, parsley, salt and pepper until combined well. Divide mixture in half and make two thin patties.
Heat large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add patties. Cook, turning often for about 4 minutes or until golden brown on both sides and no longer pink inside. Top each with a slice of cheddar cheese and remove to a plate. Wipe out skillet.
Spread half of the butter onto 1 side of each slice of bread. Place 2 slices in the same skillet. Add patties to bread and top with remaining bread slices, butter side up. Cook over medium heat, turning once until bread is golden and crisp. Remove to a small baking sheet.
Return skillet to medium heat and add remaining butter. Crack eggs into skillet and cook to desired doneness but sunny side up. Place eggs on top of sandwiches and place cheese strips on top but have the yolk peeking out. Place under the broiler for 30 seconds to melt cheese slightly. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with peas and piri piri sauce, if desired.
