Cooking steps

1. We place a bowl of water to heat in a water bath. Once boiling, we reduce the heat and wait for the water to calm down a bit. We add vinegar. Having cracked 4 eggs in advance, we slowly immerse them one by one into the bowl of water for 2-2.5 minutes, but no longer, otherwise they may curdle. We set the eggs aside.

   Required ingredients:

   • Chicken egg: 6 pieces
   • Apple cider vinegar: 1 tablespoon

2. We cut the ham and cheese into squares. We choose not too thin slices of bread for toasts.

   Required ingredients:

   • Turkey ham: 200 g
   • Parmesan cheese: 100 g
   • Toast bread: 4 pieces

3. We fry the ham in a pan until golden brown and then toast the bread until crispy. We place the toasts with parmesan in a preheated oven at 180 degrees to let the cheese melt slightly.

   Required ingredients:

   • Turkey ham: 200 g
   • Toast bread: 4 pieces
   • Parmesan cheese: 100 g

4. We separate the thyme leaves from the stems and chop them a little. We beat two eggs for the batter and add a little salt to taste. We mix the breadcrumbs with thyme and dried basil. Carefully coat the poached eggs in the batter and then in the dry mixture. Place in a pre-prepared deep pot with oil and fry for about 30-40 seconds.

   Required ingredients:

   • Fresh thyme:  to taste
   • Chicken egg: 6 pieces
   • Breadcrumbs: 70 g
   • Dried basil: 1 teaspoon
   • Salt:  to taste

5. We assemble our sandwiches. We take the cheesy toasts out of the oven, place ham inside, and top with breaded poached eggs. We garnish with salad leaves.
