"Kaiser" is def a New Jersey usage (aka a "bulky roll" in some other places). The egg sandwich you refer to is a south Jersey institution as I understand it; I grew up in a hoity-toity enclave of central Jersey and never had one--nay, never even heard of one--until years later when I had occasion to be in south Jersey and beheld the glory that is a "pork roll, egg, and cheese on a kaiser bun." (I am also sans any Jersey accent. It happens.) These fillings together AFAIK compose the highest incarnation of the sandwich, but leaving out components for a lesser version is acceptable etiquette.
The pork roll in question is a fried slice of Taylor Ham (get it? Tailor ham? Bahhh. No, I'm not a seamstress; just a wordie). One can purchase loaves of this stuff in some places.
Anyway, bit of Jersey lore for ya.
(Oh, and I'm now on the other side of the country, and "cheese curds" means something very different from cottage cheese here. But I have always loved me some cottage cheese. Do NOT dare besmirch the stuff with anything sweet in it, however.)
Sleaze bucket also has a nice cadence to it.
