Perfectly Crunchy Fried Chicken

Ingredients

4 servings

1 tablespoon mayonnaise ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning 2 slices toasted whole wheat bread 2 ounces andouille smoked sausage, cut in half lengthwise 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 large egg

Instructions

Assemble the sandwich

Start by mixing the mayonnaise and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl until smooth, then spread this flavorful mix evenly over both slices of toasted bread. Next, place the andouille sausage cut-side down in a hot skillet and cook it over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Flip it over and cook for another 2 minutes until nicely browned. Move the sausage onto one of the bread slices, leaving a little gap between the halves to create a spot for the egg. Using the same skillet, add a bit of oil and heat it over medium for about a minute. Crack an egg into the skillet and let it cook without moving it for around 3 minutes. Carefully flip the egg and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Finally, place the fried egg on top of the sausage, then sandwich it all with the other slice of bread. Enjoy!
