Eggy bread cheese and ham toastie
A cross between eggy bread and a cheese and ham toastie. This genius concoction makes an epic brunch or lunch.
In November 2023, this recipe was costed at an average of 拢2.32 per portion when checking prices at four UK supermarkets. The recipe is designed to be made in conjunction with a low-cost store-cupboard.
Ingredients
- 4 free-range eggs
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 slices medium or thinly sliced brown bread
- 60g/2录oz mature cheddar, grated
- 4 slices wafer thin ham
- 4 soft lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, thinly sliced
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
Beat the eggs with some salt and pepper in a bowl.
Heat a splash of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and pour in half of the egg mixture. Lay two slices of bread in the pan, then quickly turn them over so both sides are coated with egg. Cook for 2 minutes until the underside is golden then carefully flip over the bread slices. Sliding a spatula under both slices of bread should make this easier.
Scatter half of the cheese on one slice of bread and lay half of the ham on top. Place half of the lettuce and tomato on the other slice. Fold in the edges of the eggy mixture around the bread slices and then flip over the cheesy bread slice to enclose the filling and make a sandwich.
Slide onto a serving plate and repeat to make a second sandwich.
