I'll put anything in a sandwich

Tonight wasn't one of those nights on which I spent hours preparing and cooking a balanced dinner.  Tonight was one of those nights on which a can of soup and a sandwich sounded perfect.  I only had one problem:  my turkey was too old to eat.  I did, however, have one more egg (which was also kind of old but not inedible yet).


I fried the egg first.  I'm not big on runny yolk, so I broke the yolk and made sure the egg was well-done and nicely browned.  Then I grilled the sandwich with the egg right in the middle.  It was a nice combination because it had a very breakfasty feel, but the cheese is what made it since the sharpness of the cheddar really cut through the richness of the fried egg.  I don't think I could ever go back to making grilled cheese sandwiches without sharp cheddar cheese.  The soup is Progresso light chicken noodle (the light soups were on sale at Safeway), and I microwaved it sometime in the middle of making the sandwich.  It was good enough, not remarkable in any way.

This wasn't entirely a meat-less dinner, but it was pretty close since the soup was just an accompaniment to the sandwich.  I know I could never be a vegetarian, but I could see it being easy with fresh eggs, good cheese, and other tasty ingredients.
