GREEN BEAN & FRIED EGG SANDWICH

On those nights you’re just plain too tired to cook, this is a quick and tasty meal that doesn’t take much thought or effort. No green beans on hand? Use mushrooms, peas, onions or any kind of vegetable you’ve got. This is one of my favorite meals to eat when there’s no one home but me.

In a small pot of boiling salted water over medium high heat, blanch green beans until cooked through, about 4 - 6 minutes. Drain. In a small non-stick egg pan, melt one-teaspoon butter. Add one fourth of the green beans to the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook the beans until lightly golden brown. Add one-fourth egg mixture to pan. The egg will set up quickly. Flip to uncooked side and immediately lay two slices of bread over cooked side of eggs and finish cooking, about two minutes. This heats up and softens the bread. Place bread slices on serving plate. Tip eggs onto sandwich, folding in half as you do. Make the next three sandwiches the very same way or better, let each diner make their own.
