Another Portland breakfast sandwich highlight, continuing from previous posts on Portland Penny Diner, Pine State Biscuits and Brunchbox. I’m a fan of egg sandwiches I’m many forms. When it comes to specifically a fried egg sandwiches on bread, I think of Fried Egg I’m In Love. Fried Egg I’m In Love is a food cart located at SE 32nd and Hawthorne offering about 10 sandwiches – well, ok maybe 9 sandwiches and one breakfast burrito. All the Fried Egg I’m In Love sandwiches use toasted sourdough bread from Portland French Bakery, local eggs from Willamette Egg Farms, and when fried the eggs are sprinkled with their special Magic Egg Dust spice blend.
The sandwiches look and sound simple, but after a few bites maybe 60 seconds later you’ll realize that the sandwich you just held nestled in a it’s paper envelope has been completely devoured and you are powered up for the next agenda item of your day.
This version is the Fried Egg I’m In Love Free-Range Against the Machine, a sandwich with fried egg, avocado, tomato, and havarti cheese.
The signature Fried Egg I’m In Love sandwich is the Yolko Ono with fried egg, homemade pesto, parmesan, and a hand-pressed house sausage patty. It’s always a toss up for me which of these two sandwiches I’ve highlighted I will order – I think Free Range has a more fun combination of textures and flavors, but pesto and breakfast sausage on the Yolko is so savory!
Fried Egg I’m In Love can make any sandwich gluten free (using Udi’s Gluten Free bread) and/or vegetarian – they also have vegetarian SortaSausage. Other breakfast meats include ham and bacon. Spice it up with Sriracha or their aardvark aioli. You can dine there as they have a covered outdoor dining area, or even get their sandwiches to go, or delivered via Postmates.
What do you like to add to your fried egg sandwich? Do you like fried egg sandwiches on Sourdough bread like this, or what is your bread vehicle of choice?
Oh no…I’m really not supposed to have eggs but I love them sooo much, and this place looks like torture for me! Delicious, mouth-watering, hurts-so-good torture. That Yolko Ono is right up my alley and I cannot wait to get there and try it!
