ABOUT THE RECIPE:
The National Sandwich Idea contest was held between 1956 and 1981. It was sponsored by the Wheat Flour Institute. Each year 20 sandwich recipes, created by Food Service professionals, were chosen as the top sandwich recipes from hundreds of entries. Starting in 1980, the contest was opened to the public.

The St. Helen's Sunnyside Special Sandwich was the number #1 recipe chosen in 1980.

It was created by Lois Dowling, a homemaker from Tacoma, WA.

The St. Helen's Sunnyside Special Sandwich is on a English muffin half with Canadian bacon, a pineapple ring, a spoonful of orange marmalade and a stiffly beaten egg white with an egg yolk center and a sprinkling of grated cheddar cheese and baked until piping hot. The Mount St. Helen's volcano erupted in
Washington state in mid-1980. Mrs Dowling, being from Washington state, named the sandwich after the volcano.
