- 1 slice of cheddar cheese (sliced or shredded)
- 1 Tbsp canned corn (drained)
- 1/4 small head of fresh cabbage (shredded very thinly)
- A small amount of fresh carrot (shredded thinly, similar to cabbage)
- 1 fresh egg
- 1 Tbsp butter (for richness and browning)
Sauce Ingredients- Store-bought kiwi sauce (adjust to your taste)
- Ketchup (adjust to your taste)
- Store-bought kiwi sauce (adjust to your taste)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the essential vegetables for your toast. Wash the cabbage leaves thoroughly and shred them as thinly as possible. Shred the carrot to a similar thinness as the cabbage for a pleasant texture.
Step 2
In a bowl, crack the fresh egg and add a pinch of salt. Whisk it well. Now, add the drained canned corn, the thinly shredded cabbage, and carrots to the bowl. Mix everything together with chopsticks or a fork to create a delicious vegetable-egg batter. Ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed and not clumped.
Step 3
Preheat a frying pan over medium-low heat and melt the butter. Once the butter is melted and fragrant, place the bread slices in the pan. Toast them on both sides until they turn a beautiful golden brown. Remove the toasted bread and set aside on a plate.
Step 4
In the same pan (add a little more butter if needed), pour the vegetable-egg batter prepared in step 1. Spread it out to roughly the size of your bread slices and cook it like an omelet or a thick pancake. It will cook and release a wonderfully savory aroma.
Step 5
Now it’s time for the ham! Place the slice of ham in the same pan and cook it on both sides until it’s nicely browned and slightly crispy. The rendered fat from the ham will add extra flavor.
Step 6
Finally, let’s assemble the toast! Spread a generous amount of kiwi sauce on one side of one of the toasted bread slices. Layer the cooked vegetable-egg pancake on top, followed by the browned ham, and then the cheddar cheese. Drizzle some ketchup over the cheese, and finally, place the second slice of bread on top. Your authentic street-style Ham and Cheese Toast is ready! Enjoy it while it’s warm for the best experience.
