Messy to eat. Sounds like it could strip the vanish off your internals. But, this is one sinfully delicious snack. Especially perfect for a late-night, just-got-home-from-a-night-out, gotta-eat-something, must-be-quick-and-easy snack.

A few decades ago, I was watching an episode of the British space comedy “Red Dwarf”. In one episode, ship slob David Lister introduces his shipmate to the “ultimate hangover cure” – a fried egg chili chutney sandwich. Feeling adventurous, but not having any chili sauce on hand, I tried it with some salsa. And sinful deviliciousness was born.

The beauty of this sandwich is, you simply fry an egg, slap some chutney on one slice of bread, slap some salsa on the other, stack it all together, and enjoy the flavour sensation.

And, you can easily adjust flavours. For one who desires more spice, slather on more salsa. For the sweet of tooth, increase the ration of chutney.

 

Ingredients (1 sandwich)

2 slices bread

2-4 tbsp mango chutney

2-4 tbsp salsa

2 eggs

1 tsp butter

 

1. Spread mango chutney on one slice of bread, and salsa on the other. Don’t be stingy – spread it on thick.

2. Fry the eggs in butter over medium heat. Fry until whites are just firming up, then flip over and fry other side (about 1 minute per side, or less). Don’t overcook, as you want a runny, gooey yolk.

3. Remove the eggs to one slice of bread and assemble sandwich.

Watch out for dripping egg yolk. This is a messy snack – which makes it even more fun and delicious.
