The layer of melted and crisped cheese—the frico—is what makes this creamy sandwich unique. If you like spicy aoli, add two large cloves of garlic.

YIELD: 4 servings.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Dash pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 4 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup sandwich giardiniera, drained and finely chopped
  • 4 thin slices tomato

Instructions

  • 1. For aioli, in a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper; set aside.
  • 2. Sprinkle Parmesan into large nonstick skillet; heat over medium heat. Cook just until melted, about 2 minutes. Break eggs, 1 at a time, into a custard cup or saucer, then gently slide into pan over Parmesan. Immediately reduce heat to low. To prepare eggs sunny-side up, cover pan and cook until yolks thicken but are not hard, 4-5 minutes.
