Ya'll ever tried an egg and onion sammich? I like old movies and recently I put in my dvd copy of Harvey, starring James Stewart and Jesse White. During the film Jesse White's character is looking all over town for Elwood (Stewart) who's out having a few beers with Harvey the six foot tall rabbit. Anyway, he runs into Elwood's neice, an old maid who invites him to stay awhile and have a bite to eat and he asks for an egg and onion sandwich and later goes on and on about what a good sandwich it was. Well...yep, I had to try it. I broke out the bread and a couple of eggs. I fried them hard and drained the grease with a paper towel then set it on the bread and added a fat slice of sweet onion. It wasn't bad, but it was missing something, so after a couple of bites, I added a slice of cheddar and some catsup. That went down better, but still not what I wanted. So, I built me another one, but I toasted the white bread and buttered it, then I added the egg, onion, cheese, left out the catsup, but tried a little miracle whip. Yep, it turned out to be a little more complicated than Ol' Jesse's sandwich in the movie, but all the same I enjoyed experimenting. Of course, it woulda been better if I'd left out the onion and substituted it with a few pieces of bacon...but then it wouldn't have been properly in the spirit of things.

Grandma used to eat egg and onion sammies..only ya don't use buyyer you use a very thin slather of lard on each slice of bread, the layer a couple of onion slices and then the egg while it's piping hot...they aint bad, noy my favorite, but for the next hour or so you can sit around and listen to your arteries harden ;D ;D

Aww for Pete's sake! You supposed to use Hellman's Sandwich Spread men! Smear that on the bread then add your hardfried egg, Granny liked them a little runny in the middle then cover with a whole passle of thin sliced onions maybe six or seven or eight of them : "see through" thin. Then slather that spread on the other slice and smash them together. The old folk used lard or butter to keep the bread from leaking through. Next went the relish, pikles, ripe tomatoes or whatever might be juicy; like "eggs"! You ought to try homefried tater and onion or bean and onion Sammies when you get a chance. You need lots of black pepper on those two though and regular mayo on the bread.
