10 minutes

A sandwich with fried eggs and ham is a simple yet exquisite dish of European cuisine that combines the rich flavor of rye bread, the spiciness of mustard, the tenderness of ham, and the creaminess of warm fried eggs. This combination creates a balance of textures—the crispy crust of the bread and the soft, runny yolk. Historically, such sandwiches emerged as quick breakfasts in Western Europe as they provide sustenance and energy for the whole day. This sandwich is perfect for breakfast and also makes a great addition to a light lunch. Cherry tomatoes add freshness and acidity to complement the main flavor. It is best served hot when the aroma of freshly cooked egg enhances appetite and the ham absorbs warmth revealing its smoky notes.
