Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Making a sandwich with plenty of carrot kraut offers a fantastic, crisp bite. You can truly savor the fresh carrot flavor with every mouthful, making it even more delicious.
Step 2
Wash the fresh lettuce leaves thoroughly under running water. After washing, shake them gently to remove excess water, and then pat them dry with a paper towel to prepare them.
Step 3
Toast the bread slices in a dry pan until golden brown on both sides for added flavor. Lightly pan-fry the sliced ham as well for enhanced taste. Crack the egg into a bowl, add two pinches of salt for seasoning, and then fry it to your preference, whether sunny-side up or fully cooked.
Step 4
Spread wholegrain mustard sauce evenly on one side of the toasted bread. Next, neatly arrange the prepared lettuce leaves on top, followed by the softly fried egg.
Step 5
Generously pile the carrot kraut onto the fried egg according to your liking. Layering sliced ham and your favorite cheese over the carrot kraut will create an even richer flavor experience.
Step 6
Place the remaining slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich. Wrap the sandwich tightly with plastic wrap to ensure it holds its shape.
Step 7
It’s important to wrap the sandwich securely with plastic wrap. This prevents the filling from spilling out when you cut the sandwich in half, keeping it neat.
Step 8
Cut the well-wrapped sandwich in half for easy eating. Your delicious Carrot Kraut Sandwich with a fried egg, packed with filling, is now ready!
Step 9
This sandwich is packed with vegetables for a satisfying crunch, complemented by the savory cheese and tender ham. It’s a delicious combination that makes for an excellent brunch option.
Step 10
Enjoy a simple yet satisfying lunch by pairing it with a cup of rich, freshly brewed coffee. If the weather had been nice, I would have taken this sandwich and coffee for a picnic in the park. However, with the overcast skies and intermittent rain, it became a leisurely lunch enjoyed at home.
