Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bread slices
- 2 slices Ham
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Crack the egg into the skillet and season lightly with salt and black pepper. Cook the egg for 2–3 minutes until the whites are set and the yolk is still runny, or cook longer if you prefer a fully cooked yolk. Remove the egg from the skillet and set aside.
Add 2 slices of ham to the same skillet and warm for 1–2 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Toast the bread slices using a toaster or a grill pan until they are golden and lightly crispy.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly across one side of each toasted bread slice.
Assemble the sandwich by placing one slice of toasted bread (buttered side up) on a plate, layering it with the warmed ham slices, the fried egg, and topping with the second slice of bread (buttered side down).
Gently press the sandwich together and serve immediately. Optionally, cut the sandwich in half for easier handling.
