cook: bodega breakfast sandwich

While in a hotel in Monterey, I made a breakfast slider with a biscuit, pepper jack cheese, and chipotle sausage. Loved the spicy sausage and was inspired by the sauces at the breakfast bar--jalapeno ranch and red chile aioli. At home, I mixed ground pork (leftover from cooking Imperial rolls), pork chorizo, and chipotle sauce to make sausage patties. On a split Kaiser roll, I laid cheddar cheese and pickled jalapeno on both halves of the bread and then baked in a 350 degree oven to melt cheese until bubbly. In the meantime, I fried a sunny side up egg. Laid the chipotle chorizo sausage on one half with drizzles of sriracha mayo and the egg on the other half.

Did it again the next day and added pickled red onions.
 
Oh my gosh! Even better.
What I love about the kaiser roll is its circumference—big and plushy enough to contain the runny egg and not let too much yolk to ooze out. If ever called upon to cook breakfast at an Airbnb with friends, this is the meal I'm making.
