26. I have 3 favorites right now

Rueben, Italian sub and the Spanglish sandwich (the one Adam Sandler makes in the movie Spanglish - you may not like anything else he's ever done but he pantomimed being a chef so well that I had to go make that sandwich for myself and it is worth every hoop through which you have to jump to make it) (I like to make mine with the 2 middle slices from a round sourdough loaf so it's bigger)(I'd be willing to try a version substituting corned beef hash for the bacon and with rye bread)

World's Greatest Sandwich
http://www.thekitchn.com/spanglish-sandw-5321

3-4 slices of bacon
2 slices of Monterey Jack cheese
2 slices of toasted rustic country loaf (pain de campagne)
1 tbsp of mayo
4 tomato slices
2 leaves of butter lettuce (yes, it’s called butter lettuce)
1 teaspoon butter
1 egg

Preparation:

1. Cook the bacon until crisp, drain on paper towels
2. Place slices of cheese on one side of toasted bread. Place in toaster oven or under broiler to melt.
3. Spread mayo on other slice of bread top with bacon, sliced tomato, and lettuce
4. On non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Fry egg, turning over briefly when the bottom is set (keep yolk runny)
5. Slide finished egg on top of lettuce, top with other slice of bread (cheese-side down genius)
6. Place sandwich on plate and slice in half, letting yolk run down sandwich
