Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat bread slices
- 4 slices Vegetarian ham slices
- 4 large Eggs
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and pat them dry. Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
In a medium non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Crack the eggs into the skillet, keeping them separate. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs sunny-side up until the white is set but the yolk is still runny, approximately 3-4 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat bread slices.
Once the bread is toasted, layer 2 slices with a piece of cheddar cheese, 2 vegetarian ham slices, fresh spinach leaves, and tomato slices.
Place a cooked egg on top of each prepared bread slice. Cover each sandwich with the remaining toasted slices of bread.
Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Add each assembled sandwich and cook on each side until golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice them in half if desired, and serve while hot.
