Of all of the over one thousand sandwich I’ve made here on Sandwiches of History, this is a first. We’re to poach an egg. But that’s the “first.” The distinction belongs to the fact that we’re to put said poached egg between bread. As anyone with two brain cells to rub together can understand, that gonna make for a messy sandwich. And just wait til you see how 1,001 Sandwiches of 1936 has us finish the sandwich. I mean…

Welcome to Sandwiches of History Today from 1,001 Sandwiches of 1936. We’re going to be making the Egg Club Sandwich. First thing we gotta to do is poach an egg. And I’ve got the egg in the colander, to let the kind of wispy whites that would just float around and make the water cloudy….eh go away Thing I learned from America’s Test Kitchen, dontchya know that boiling water. Now to boiling water we had vinegar salt then we remove from the heat and slowly tip in our eggs, cover and let it sit for three minutes While the eggs are poaching, let’s toast up some bread. Now we’re to butter our toast. On one, we lay down a leaf of lettuce, add our freshly poached egg close with another piece of toast. Then add a slice of tomato. Spread that with mayonnaise Yep, didn’t even hint at the top piece of bread. So let’s give this Egg Club Sandwich a go. Nicely poached egg. [ if he does say so himself ] runny yolk, richness of the mayonnaise, sweetness of the tomato. It works together. I’m going to plus it up a little. I’m gonna add a little Everything But the Bagel seasoning blend. Okay, let’s get this Egg Club Sandwich, plussed up with Everything But the Bagel seasoning blend, a go. The stuff goes so well with tomato, goes so well with eggs. Total no brainer. Alright, so the original Egg Club Sandwich, I’m not sure how brilliant it is to put in an egg with a runny yolk in between two slices of bread the push down but hey, that’s what the recipe wanted. Flavor wise. It was excellent. You got the crunch of the toast, that nice flavor. You also get the sweetness of the tomato, the richness of the mayonnaise, a little bit of vegetal flavor from the lettuce, and of course, the rich egg yolk. It’s tasty. I’m going to give it. I’m going to give it a 7 1/2 and I’m going to take off a point for, execution, because that having no top piece of bread made no sense to me. So we’re going to knock it down to about 6 1/2 Plussed up with the Everything But the Bagel seasoning blend, right back up into 7 1/2 That is delicious. I’m definitely going to finish that. I don’t know that I would make this again though, because it is a mess. Alright, See you tomorrow.

I was hoping you'd say egg-xecution, you know, like Vincent Price as Egghead in the old 60's Batman TV show.
Open faced mayo is diabolical, but I'd gladly eat that with a top piece of toast (or with a knife and fork).
A club without bacon seems incomplete and salted avocado would be delightful. 🤓
Personally, I think "Club" in the name would make the third slice of bread a given for this recipe (for me at least). I know you don't use Bacon as a plus up but if ever a sandwich cried out for Bacon, this was it!
Eggs aren’t a great thing to build a club from…
I always thought “club” meant with bacon lettuce and tomato and a third slice of bread in between…..
That looks great Barry
the middle slice of bread ought not be toasted, which would then help soak up some of the egg's runniness. topping the egg with cheese might help as well.
That part of the :56 is my favorite.
I do something like this regularly, but I cut up the egg just before covering it up. The yolk goes into the toast a bit and is delicious. Hit it with salt and close it up, wait a bit (or clean up and walk upstairs with your plate) so it soaks in, and I can eat it with a full beard and Sam Elliott size mustache with no problem.
I love poached eggs, but eating it like that, no. I find any drippy food too much of a challenge.
Nice scoring drill down – minus 1 for awkward sandwich assembly direction
As someone that loves subtitles, I love that when Barry said “nicely poached egg” the subtitle read “if he does say so himself” classic Barry 😂😂
Great video! Thanks for demonstrating the functionality of that weird looking kitchen gadget underneath your wall mounted bottle opener. I can get a full night’s worth of sleep again!!!
I am not sure why the tomato and mayonnaise are not placed before the second slice of toast. The entire point of the sandwich was to keep the fingers clean. The messy things should be inside the sandwich.
Otherwise, this is a good combination of flavors. An egg with a runny yolk, with lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, on buttered toast is something I have had quite often. It's delicious.
Doesn't club sandwich MEAN bacon? and/or three slices of bread/toast? Maybe you can do a video on what constitjtes, makes, or qualifies as a"club sandwich.". It's definitely less contentious an idea than the what is a sandwichbattleground…I think. And for therecord. If you stack or wra
some things, most especially if bread of some kind is involved(but not necessarily), hot dog, taco, whatever, its all a sandwich to me. The true defenition is the highest form of enjoyability an ingredient can be brought to.
There's an awful lot missing from that so-called "everything" seasoning.
A poached egg works better in a pita.
never seen poached eggs where you remove it from the heat add the egg and cover for 3 minutes.
That looked delicious! We love the music 🙂
that Everything But The Bagel seasoning is super good on popcorn, too.
I always get confused with sandwiches that have stuff on top of the top slice of bread
I thought sandwiches were snacky things that are to be easily held to be eaten
Honestly, what the fork!
Nothing like biting into a mayonnaise laced tomato on the top of your sandwich ?
That is one well-poached egg. Looks like a blob of mozzarella. 🧀
1001 Sandwiches and it's not a garbage can plus up?!?!?!
Yo! When you make a pretty poached egg tell the world about it.
Almost any other configuration of these ingredients would be an improvement.
Mayo on an egg sandwich, 1936 wants to raise my cholesterol. So be it!
Must try to poach eggs. Again.
The introduction to club sandwiches in the book says all club sandwiches should be eaten with a knife and fork (pg 215). That's why they are okay with tomato on top.
Nice shout out for ATK
I was so ready to watch you push that egg through the colander
Swirl your water next time
The idea of mayo on tomato on the roof of my mouth vs the sandpaper effect of toast seems genius to me.
