Ingredients
Scale
- A few slices of bread (4-6 slices)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4–6 slices of cheese (your choice of cheese)
- 6 pieces of ham (or substitute with bacon, turkey, etc.)
- 100 grams grated cheese (any kind you prefer)
- 6 eggs
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Heat a pan over medium heat and add vegetable oil. Place the slices of bread in the pan and toast them until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Layer the Ham and Cheese: Once the bread is toasted, add a slice of cheese on each piece of bread, followed by a piece of ham. Top with a sprinkle of grated cheese.
- Cook the Eggs: In a separate pan, cook the eggs to your preferred doneness—fried sunny-side-up, scrambled, or even poached.
- Assemble the Toasts: Place one cooked egg on top of each slice of prepared bread. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- You can customize this recipe by using different types of cheese or bread. Sourdough or whole wheat bread work great, and mozzarella, cheddar, or gouda cheese would add different flavor profiles.
- For a richer flavor, you can add herbs like parsley or basil on top of the eggs after cooking.
- If you prefer your eggs scrambled, simply whisk them in a bowl before cooking and scramble them in the pan.
- If you don’t have ham, substitute with cooked bacon, turkey, or even grilled vegetables for a vegetarian option.
