Classic Cheese, Ham
Egg Sandwich

A ten-minute energetic breakfast classic featuring layered cheese, savory fried ham, a fried egg, crisp lettuce, and fresh tomatoes between soft white bread.

Ingredients

• 3 slices white bread
• 1 whole egg
• 3 slices ham
• 1 slice yellow cheese
• 2 leaves green lettuce
• 2 slices tomato
• 2 tbsp salad dressing
• to taste sea salt
• to taste black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Trim the bread crusts

   

   Place three slices of white bread on a cutting board and use a knife to carefully cut away and remove the crusts from the edges.

   Tip: Slice cleanly along the edges to keep the bread squares neat and even.
2. 2Fry the egg

   

   Crack an egg directly into a heated black frying pan containing a small amount of oil and let it cook.

   Tip: Maintain medium-low heat to ensure the egg cooks evenly without burning the bottom.
3. 3Fry the ham slices

   

   Place three slices of ham in the frying pan and use chopsticks to turn them over so they heat evenly on both sides.

   Tip: Fry briefly until warm and slightly browned.
4. 4Apply dressing to bread

   

   Squeeze salad dressing directly onto a slice of white bread, then use a knife to smooth it out into an even layer.

   Tip: Spread a thin layer to enhance flavor without making the bread soggy.
5. 5Add lettuce and tomatoes

   

   Using a pair of chopsticks, carefully pick up fresh green lettuce leaves and place them on top of the sauce-spread bread slice, followed by sliced tomatoes.

   Tip: Make sure the lettuce is dry before placing it on the bread to prevent it from getting soggy.
6. 6Add the next bread layer

   

   Take a second slice of bread and gently place it directly over the layer of tomatoes and lettuce.

   Tip: Align the edges carefully to keep the sandwich structure stable.
7. 7Squeeze salad dressing

   

   Take another slice of bread and use a squeeze bottle to apply salad dressing in a crisscross pattern across the surface.

   Tip: Squeezing in a zigzag pattern helps distribute the dressing evenly when the layers are pressed together.
8. 8Layer cheese, ham, and egg

   

   Place a square slice of yellow cheese directly onto the prepared sandwich layer, followed by a piece of fried ham and a fried egg.

   Tip: Ensure the fried egg is slightly cooled or freshly cooked so it fits comfortably within the sandwich structure.
9. 9Season with salt and pepper

   

   Grind sea salt and black pepper evenly over the top of the fried egg layer to enhance the overall savory flavor profile.

   Tip: Freshly cracked black pepper provides a much more aromatic kick than pre-ground pepper.
10. 10Spread dressing on top slice

    

    Take the final top slice of bread and use a spreading knife to coat the surface evenly with salad dressing.

    Tip: Spread the dressing all the way to the edges to help seal the sandwich contents together.
