The Legendary Egg Dog
Sometimes the best recipes come from making do with what you have. This legendary egg dog was born out of necessity when I wanted a breakfast sandwich but was fresh out of bread. Lucky for me, I had leftover hot dog buns from an all-star game party, and this simple yet satisfying creation became an instant hit. The crispy edges of the rolled egg nestle perfectly in the soft bun, creating a handheld breakfast that s both comforting and unexpectedly delicious.
