Toast Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 6 fresh eggs
- 100g unsalted butter
- 1/2 ripe tomato
- 4 slices of ham
- 2 slices of cheese
- A pinch of fine salt
Special Sauces
- 2 Tbsp tomato ketchup
- 2 Tbsp honey mustard sauce
- 2 Tbsp apple jam
- 2 Tbsp tomato ketchup
- 2 Tbsp honey mustard sauce
- 2 Tbsp apple jam
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a bowl, crack 6 fresh eggs. Add just a pinch of fine salt and whisk gently with a fork until fully combined. Set aside.
Step 2
Slice the half tomato thinly, about 0.5cm thick. It’s best to keep them thin so they don’t slide out of the toast.
Step 3
Melt 100g of unsalted butter generously in a preheated pan over medium-low heat. Once the butter is melted, place the 4 slices of bread into the pan and toast them on both sides until they are a beautiful golden brown. Remove the toasted bread and set aside.
Step 4
Remove the toasted bread from the pan temporarily. Pour the beaten egg mixture back into the pan. Be careful not to let the eggs stick to the bottom. When the eggs are about halfway cooked and the edges are just starting to set, carefully place the toasted bread slices on top of the cooking eggs.
Step 5
While the egg is still slightly undercooked on the toast, quickly flip it over. Use a spoon or spatula to neatly fold the excess cooked egg from the edges onto the inside of the toast on all four sides. Cover the pan with a lid, or continue to cook on low heat until the egg is fully set. Next, in the same or a separate pan, lightly grill the 4 slices of ham over low heat until they are golden brown on both sides.
Step 6
On one slice of the prepared toast, layer 2 slices of grilled ham, 1 slice of cheese, and 2 slices of tomato. Drizzle 1 Tbsp of tomato ketchup and 1 Tbsp of honey mustard sauce artistically over the toppings. On another slice of bread, spread 1 Tbsp of apple jam thinly. Finally, carefully place this jam-spread slice on top of the other layered ingredients to complete your ham and cheese toast.
Step 7
Your visually appealing and delicious Ham & Cheese Toast is finally ready! We hope you have a wonderful time enjoying the delightful harmony of sweet, savory, and fresh flavors. Enjoy your meal!
