Meat Lovers Breakfast Sandwich

I’ve been calling this my meat lovers breakfast sandwich and for good reason — this is my homemade breakfast sausage sourdough sandwich with a pesto egg, prosciutto and a handful of arugula.

I’ve been calling this my meat lovers breakfast sandwich and for good reason — this is my homemade breakfast sausage sourdough sandwich with a pesto egg, prosciutto and a handful of arugula.  The sausage is herby with a little heat and sweetness from some fennel and hot honey & then stacked on homemade sourdough with a little Alessi Calabrian chili yogurt. One of the things that makes this dish so good, is the quality of the ingredients. I use Alessi Pesto and Calabrian Chili Crisp. It is certainly stacked and so so good for a slow weekend morning!

• Add a little pesto to the pan on medium heat and spread in an even layer. Crack an egg over pesto and top with grated parmesan cheese. Cook for a few minutes for an over easy egg.
