Roast Beef Sandwich with Scrambled Eggs and Tomato Relish

Admittingly, I never envisioned adding scrambled eggs to roast beef.  It just seems wrong, but scrambled eggs were being made for dinner and so I thought, “Why not”.   You can call this the serendipitous sandwich because lo and behold, it actually turned out quite tasty.  For a little extra crunch, I added onions (both fried and raw, sliced).   Another serendipitous discovery was just how good tomato relish was on this – it went suprisingly well with the eggs and roast beef.

Sandwich Recipe

  • 1 ciabatta roll
  • 2 slices of strong cheese
  • Roast beef, generous amounts depending on the size of the roll
  • 1 egg, scrambled
  • 2 tbs fried onions
  • 2 tsp red onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbs sweet tomato relish

Slice the ciabatta roll in half and place the cheese on the bottom half.  Toast both halves in an oven until it becomes golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Spreadh 1 tsp of the tomato relish on the cheese, then add the roast beef on top.  Sprinkle with sliced red onions.  Add scrambled eggs.  Now add about 1 tsp of relish and then fried onions.  Spread the remaining tomato relish (about 2 tsp) on the top half of the roll and use this to top the sandwhich.  Serve while the bread and eggs are still warm.
