Ingredients
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
2 slices white bread
1 slice ham
1 large egg
Pinch salt
Pinch ground black pepper
Optional ingredients of your choice
Directions
- Spread 1/2 tablespoon of the butter on 1 side of each slice of bread (3/4 teaspoon butter per slice).
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the buttered slices, buttered side down. Push the bread to the side of the pan and add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter to the other side. Add the ham and egg to the buttered side of the pan, and season the egg lightly with salt and pepper. Using a spatula, pierce the egg yolk so that it runs. Cook until the egg begins to firm and the ham browns, about 30 seconds.
- Using the spatula, flip both the ham and the egg and cook for 30 seconds. Stack the ham and egg on 1 unbuttered side of the toast and top with the other slice, buttered side up.
- Place the egg sandwich on a plate. If desired, top with grated cheese or other toppings, and serve immediately.
