Method

1. Wash the tomato⁶ and slice it into rounds about 0.5 cm thick.

2. Spread butter⁵ on one side of the bread and toast on medium heat until golden and crisp, about 2–3 minutes.

3. On the toasted side, layer ham² and cheese, top with the second bread slice, cover with a lid to melt the cheese, and keep on medium heat about 1 minute.

4. In the same pan, fry the egg on medium heat until the yolk is softly set, about 2–3 minutes; the yolk should remain runny inside, the white¹ fully set.

5. Remove the lid, transfer the ham²-and-cheese toast to a plate, top with the fried egg; arrange the tomato⁶ slices on the side.

6. Serve the dish hot; garnish with herbs to taste; the dish is ready to eat.

7. Alternative and make-ahead: you can toast the bread and melt the cheese ahead of time, fry the eggs³ just before serving; replace tomato⁶ with cucumber or green onion as you prefer.
