Makes One
¼ thinly sliced red onion
Butter
Olive oil
2-3 ounces thinly sliced pastrami
1 egg
1 large slice of cheese, I used smoked chipotle gouda
2 cup fresh spinach
2 sourdough bread
Shoestring fries, optional, wait – not optional
Kosher salt & fresh ground pepper to taste
1-2 tablespoons garlic aioli, see recipe below
Cook onions in about 1 teaspoon each butter & oil over low-medium heat cook beautifully softened and beginning to color – about 10 minutes
Transfer onions to a small dish, add a little more oil to the pan and add spinach – cook over low/medium heat stirring well until completely wilted, about 3 or 4 minutes – season with salt & pepper and set aside
Toast or grill bread until golden brown
While bread toasts, cook egg & pastrami separately until egg is cooked the way you like it (over easy is ideal) and pastrami is warmed through, adding cheese to the top when you flip it over
Build: spread aioli on both pieces of bread, then to one piece add spinach, onions, cheesy pastrami, egg, fries and top with 2nd piece of toast
