Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Rye bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 pieces Deli ham slices
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Neutral oil (e.g., canola or sunflower oil)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Butter one side of each rye bread slice and place them butter-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard evenly on the unbuttered side of each rye bread slice as a base layer.
Lay 2 slices of deli ham on top of each piece of bread, ensuring the ham covers most of the surface.
Heat a small, non-stick skillet over medium heat with 1 teaspoon of oil. Crack one egg into the skillet and cook sunny side up or to your preferred doneness. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Repeat with the second egg.
Carefully transfer a cooked egg onto each prepared bread slice with ham.
Place the open-faced sandwiches in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the bread edges are crisp and the toppings are warmed through.
Remove from the oven and garnish each sandwich with finely chopped fresh chives for a pop of flavor and color.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Danish-inspired open-face sandwich!
