Sandwich with ham, cheese and cherry tomatoes
2 servings
15 minutes
This sandwich is the quintessence of a cozy American breakfast, combining the tenderness of melted cheese, the spiciness of ham, and the freshness of juicy cherry tomatoes. The dish's roots trace back to American diner traditions where the skillful combination of simple ingredients creates true culinary masterpieces. A golden crispy toast fried in butter envelops a soft egg, giving the sandwich a delicate texture. The addition of mayonnaise and salsa enhances the flavor accents, turning it into a harmonious blend of creamy, salty, and slightly spicy notes. Frying in a milk-egg mixture gives it a light airiness, transforming an ordinary sandwich into a refined gastronomic experience. This hearty sandwich is the perfect start to the day, capable of energizing and providing a sense of homey comfort.

When the first toast is slightly toasted on one side, crack 1 egg into the empty center. Once the egg is cooked on one side, flip the toast and finish cooking on the other side.

Take the second toast and spread it with mayonnaise and salsa sauce (or any other sauce to taste). Place a slice of ham on top.
