One of the best things in the world

Start with a farm-fresh egg from your local farmer’s market. Note the nearly orange yolk. This is how you know this egg will be good.

Gently fry this egg, sunny side up, in butter, in your grandfather’s cast iron skillet.

Sprinkle a small pinch of kosher salt on top.

While the egg is frying, toast a piece of soft potato bread. When the toast is ready, lay it on a plate and top with a single slice of provolone cheese.

Place the newly fried on top.

Break the yolk with your folk, allowing it to run down onto the plate to be absorbed by the toast.

Cut a large slice, making sure to get some cheese, yolk, bread, and egg together. Shove this into your mouth in one bite. Follow with a sip of hot, strong coffee.

    indeed. it’s no surprise that at the end of the movie “Big Night,” the two brothers, owners of a classically rustic italian restaurant, reconcile silently over the pleasures of a simple plate of eggs and bread.
