Italian Egg Sandwich

This recipe is a traditional Italian breakfast, and very quick to make. However, the original recipe calls for a rustic white bread, something like Ciabatta which I'm sure all you folks just happen to have lying around. So instead, I make it with just a slice of regular bread, along with some other modifications. The result is something a little like that egg sandwich from V for Vendetta.

1 Egg
1 Slice of Bread
Pasta Sauce

Start by heating your pan up on MEDIUM. When the pan is hot, crack in the egg. Immediately take the bread and smush it over the egg to make sure it sticks, hopefully without bursting the yolk (if it does, doesn't matter though). Once the egg is mostly cooked, flip the whole thing over with a spatula to toast the bread as well. Spread some of the pasta sauce over the egg. Serve. Great for when you're in a hurry and need a quick bite to eat. A few variations on this basic recipe include adding cheese over the top of the egg (parmesan works well, as does mozzarella or cheddar), or topping with some ham, sausage, or bacon.

Optional: You can spread some butter or other substitute on the back of the bread before flipping which will help make the bread extra crispy and delicious

Total time: <10 minutes

Total Cost: Not even gonna bother going through the numbers on this one. It probably costs somewhere around a quarter, maybe less.
