Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces slices of bread
- 2 pieces slices of ham
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 slice cheddar cheese
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 piece lettuce leaf
- 2 slices tomato
Instructions
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Carefully crack the egg into the pan, season with a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper, and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the egg white is set and the yolk is still slightly runny.
Gently flip the egg and cook for another 30 seconds for an over-easy egg. Remove the egg from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the slices of ham and fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are warmed through and slightly browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Spread the remaining butter on one side of each bread slice.
Place the bread slices, buttered side down, in the same pan over medium heat. Toast for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
On one slice of bread, place the cheddar cheese, followed by the cooked ham.
Add the egg on top of the ham and cover with the lettuce leaf and tomato slices.
Spread mayonnaise on the unbuttered side of the second slice of bread and place it on top of the sandwich, mayonnaise side down.
Press down gently and remove the sandwich from the pan.
Cut in half if desired and serve immediately.
