A delicious breakfast or brunch recipe: a savory sandwich with a fried egg, ham, cheese, and fresh herbs. Here's the full recipe:
Ingredients:
For the Sandwich:
2 slices of bread (preferably a hearty, rustic bread like sourdough or whole wheat)
2 slices of ham (thinly sliced)
2 slices of cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or any cheese of your choice)
1 egg (for frying)
A handful of fresh herbs (such as chives, parsley, or cilantro)
Fresh greens (optional, for added freshness)
Salt and pepper to taste
Butter or olive oil for frying the egg and to toast the bread
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Sandwich:
Toast the Bread: Start by toasting the slices of bread in a skillet or toaster until they are golden brown.
Assemble the Sandwich: Once the bread is toasted, place a slice of cheese on each slice of bread. Add a slice of ham on top of the cheese, followed by the other slice of bread to create a sandwich.
2. Fry the Egg:
Heat a little butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Crack the egg into the skillet and fry it to your desired level of doneness. For a runny yolk, cook it for about 3-4 minutes, leaving the yolk soft and intact. For a firmer yolk, cook it for 5-6 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper as desired.
3. Assemble the Final Dish:
Place the fried egg on top of the sandwich.
Sprinkle with fresh herbs such as chives or parsley for added flavor and freshness.
Add a sprinkle of black pepper and any other seasoning you like.
4. Serve:
Serve the sandwich immediately while the egg is warm and the yolk is runny. You can drizzle the yolk over the sandwich for a delicious, rich texture.
Optionally, garnish with some greens on the side or extra herbs for extra flavor.
Enjoy this savory and satisfying breakfast sandwich with a perfectly fried egg, ham, cheese, and fresh herbs! It's a simple yet indulgent treat to start your day.
