One of the first things my future husband used to tell me about was a delicious sandwich that his family would make every Spring and Summer when the new crop of sweet Vidalia onions and homegrown tomatoes were available. I must admit.... I had never heard of that combination and was a bit skeptical especially since I'm not a fan of raw onion. One day when we were with his family, they were eating these sandwiches. So, I thought what better time to try it? Well, I can truthfully say, I was impressed. The combination of fresh farm eggs, juicy homegrown tomatoes and the crowning glory...... a slice of sweet Vidalia onion. Oh my!!! Sandwich perfection! I hope you'll try this sandwich and then you can look forward to Spring when the Vidalia onions and juicy tomatoes are ripe for the picking!

Step 1: INGREDIENTS...

1 sourdough hamburger roll, sliced

4 tablespoons butter, divided plus 1 teaspoon

2 extra large eggs

Salt and pepper (to taste)

1 slice tomato

1 slice sweet Vidalia onion

1 - 2 tablespoons Miracle Whip (NOT mayonnaise)

Step 2: SUPPLIES....

Cutting Board

Small mixing bowl

non-stick 10-inch skillet

pancake turner

1 kitchen knife

1 soup spoon

1 fork

1 sharp knife (not shown)

Step 3: TOAST THE ROLL....

Place your skillet over medium/high heat. Spread the cut side of each half of roll with 1 tablespoon (each) of butter. Place buttered side down in hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes or until nicely browned and toasted. Place on serving dish and set aside.

Step 4: BEAT EGGS....

Crack eggs into bowl and whip with fork until well combined and foamy.

Step 5: PREPARE SKILLET FOR EGG....

In same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Let melt.

Step 6: ADD EGG .....

to hot, buttered skillet and let egg spread to cover bottom of skillet.

Step 7: COOK EGGS UNTIL....

sides start to congeal and become firm..... add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8: FLIP EGG....

When egg is cooked enough to handle, gently flip over so the other side can cook. Let cook for about 2 minutes and then cut into quarters.

Step 9: PREPARE ROLL.....

Butter one side of roll with about 1 teaspoon butter. Spread about 1 -2 tablespoons of Miracle Whip on other side of roll. (Please note: we like Miracle Whip because the tang and sweetness breaks up the richness of the eggs and butter. Feel free to use mayonnaise if you prefer)

Step 10: BUILD YOUR SANDWICH...

Place cooked egg on buttered side of roll......

Step 11: THEN ADD...

the tomato slice.....

Step 12: TIME FOR THAT SWEET ONION....

Place the onion slice on top of the tomato slice and spread Miracle Whip on the other half of the toasted roll.

Step 13: FINISH YOUR SANDWICH...

Place "lid" on your sandwich and your done!!

Step 14: ENJOY!!!!!
