Triple Fried Egg Chili Chutney Sandwich

Introduction

The Triple Fried Egg Chili Chutney Sandwich gained a cult following from its mention in the classic British sci-fi sitcom, "Red Dwarf." Known as a culinary delight with a comedic twist, the sandwich was proposed by one of the show's beloved characters, Dave Lister. The sandwich is celebrated for its audacious combination of ingredients, creating a unique medley of rich flavors and textures. While the origins of the sandwich lie in fiction, the actual creation of this dish can be an adventurous and flavorful experience.

Ingredients

• Eggs - 3 large
• Chutney - 2 tablespoons
• Chili Sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Bread Slices - 3 slices
• Butter - for toasting
• Olive Oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - to taste
• Black Pepper - to taste

Preparation

Before beginning the cooking process, ensure all of your ingredients are at hand and have been prepared appropriately.

1. Begin by setting out the bread slices, making sure they are thick and sturdy enough to hold the filling.
2. Take a moment to prepare the chutney and chili sauce, if they are not already prepared.
3. Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat, adding in the olive oil.
4. Crack three eggs carefully into a bowl and set aside.
5. Gather your aromatics. In this case, freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of salt will do nicely.

Cooking Process

Step 1: Frying the Eggs

The first step entails cooking the eggs, a process essential to the sandwich’s stacked design.

1. In a preheated pan with olive oil, gently slide in the eggs one at a time, maintaining distance between them in the pan.
2. Allow each egg to fry, using a timer to track approximately two minutes per side to achieve a runny yolk with crisp edges.
3. Flip each egg carefully to ensure thorough cooking without breaking the yolk.

Step 2: Toasting the Bread

Next, the bread slices need to be toasted. This will give the sandwich its foundation and crunch.

1. Spread a thin layer of butter over both sides of each slice of bread.
2. In the same pan used for frying the eggs, place the buttered slices until golden brown on both sides.
3. Remove and set aside to rest, keeping them warm.

Step 3: Assembly

The final step is to compile all parts into the completed sandwich.

1. Lay out the first slice of toasted bread on a plate.
2. Evenly spread a spoonful of chutney over the toast.
3. Carefully stack on the first fried egg.
4. On top of the egg, apply a layer of chili sauce.
5. Repeat the process with the second slice of bread, chutney, the next egg, and another dollop of chili sauce.
6. Place the third slice of bread on top, press gently to allow flavors to meld, and slice diagonally for presentation.

How to Enjoy

The Triple Fried Egg Chili Chutney Sandwich is best enjoyed immediately after preparation while the bread is still tender yet crisp, and the eggs maintain their rich yolk. Serve with a side of tangy pickles or a light salad to balance the hearty flavors. The sandwich embraces the adventurous palate, offering a fusion of chutney sweetness, tangy chili heat, and the comforting richness of eggs. It's a true feast for fans of "Red Dwarf" and culinary thrill-seekers alike.
