BBQ Roast Beef with Sunny Side Up Egg Surprise

If a dense fog is the first thing I see from our bedroom window upon waking up, comfort food is surely on the way to our kitchen table.  Yesterday was definitely one of those days which calls for a meal that boosts the energy and shakes off the cold and damp weather.

 

A crackly-crusted, chewy, light-textured, freshly baked bread and a hearty bowl of steaming soup are staple comfort foods here at home. Today I kicked it up a notch by topping a slice of artisan bread with barbequed roast beef and fried sunny side up egg. A real treat indeed!
