Sausage Bread Brunch Sandwich
- 8 asparagus spears, trimmed and cut in thirds on the bias
- Olive oil, for drizzling
- Kosher salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup creme fraiche
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Kosher salt and pepper
- 8 slices leftover Grandma Kay's Sausage Bread, recipe follows
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 1 pound sweet Italian sausages, removed from casing
- 4 ounces pepperoni, cut into squares
- 4 ounces Genoa salami, thinly sliced and cut into squares
- 8 ounces shredded mozzarella
- 1 1/2 loaves frozen or fresh pizza dough, defrosted, such as Rhodes
- For the asparagus: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast the asparagus until tender but not brown, about 10 minutes.
- Set aside.
- For the citrus herb sauce: Whisk the creme fraiche, chives, mustard, parsley and lemon juice in a bowl until incorporated.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper and reserve.
- For the sandwich build: Warm the Grandma Kay's Sausage Bread in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Transfer the bread to a plate and place a couple of asparagus on top.
- Add the canola oil to the same skillet and fry the eggs sunny-side up, covering with a bowl to cook evenly.
- Place each egg on top of the asparagus and serve with a side of the citrus herb sauce.
- Give a bite to your grandma and hope she approves.
- Preheat the oven to 340 degrees F. Add the olive oil to a medium saute pan over medium-high heat and cook the sausages until brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Cool the sausage, transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon and mix with the pepperoni and salami.
- Mix in the mozzarella with your hands.
- Roll out the dough into 2 long ovals.
- Slice the end pieces off the dough to save for later to make mini sausage breads.
- Brush the top and bottom of the dough with olive oil and divide the sausage mixture between the 2 loaves.
- Fold the dough over like a calzone and poke holes along the sides to release the steam with a fork.
- Bake until light brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Yield: Two 12-inch loaves.
