Ingredients
(1 sandwich)
2 slices pumpernickel
1-2 slices smoked Gruyere (the slices in the picture are small…)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 egg
arugula
sea salt
pepper
Method
With a cookie cutter, cut a hole in the center of one slice of bread. (I used this vintage cookie cutter I bought at Curiosities in East Dallas. If you’re looking for vintage anything—I recommend Curiosities.)
Melt butter in a cast iron skillet on medium heat.
When butter has melted, begin browning both pieces of bread.
Crack open the egg into the slice with the hole. Let cook for a couple of minutes.
This makes me smile:) |
flipped egg… |
Sprinkle cheese with sea salt and pepper (optional) and top with the egg slice of bread, hole facing up.

That’s it.
You could easily substitute any type of bread or cheese. Very yummy.

This looks delicious and it has several of my fav ingredients.
It was tasty. I love anything w/ arugula!
Fun! Looks delicious too!
YUM!! I’ve never had guyere cheese, but I love both pumpernickel and arugula! What kind of taste does the cheese have? Smokey flavor?
Yes a bit smokey. Delicious!
Clever idea. You could almost call this healthier – almost.
