Ham And Egg Toastie Food

GRILLED HAM, EGG AND CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in frying pan over medium heat. Add egg and fry until cooked to your preference. (Yolk can either be broke or not as to your preference.)
• In a nonstick pan, fry ham until warm and lightly brown. Remove from pan and keep warm.
• On one slice of sourdough bread, layer slice of cheddar cheese, ham, slice of swiss cheese and fried egg. Top with other slice of bread.
• Brush melted butter on sandwich and place buttered side down in skillet used to fry ham. Brush melted butter on top. After a few minutes, flip sandwich over and fry until golden brown and cheese is melted.

HAM AND EGG TOASTIE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a small pan and fry the onion and pepper over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes until soft. Remove from the heat and stir in the ham. Season to taste. Set aside.
• Brush the sandwich toaster with a little sunflower oil, wiping off the excess with kitchen paper. Preheat the sandwich toaster to its highest setting.
• Beat the egg and pour into a shallow dish. Butter one side of the bread slices.
• Place one slice of bread (buttered side up) into the egg for a couple of minutes and then carefully remove it and place into the sandwich toaster (buttered side down). Carefully press the bread into the recesses with the back of a spoon, taking care not to tear the bread, or the filling will leak out. Spoon the ham mixture into the recesses and spread it out evenly. Soak the remaining slice of bread in the egg (buttered side up), mopping up as much egg as you can and then place this on top of the sandwich (buttered side up). Carefully close the lid and cook for 4 minutes until crisp and golden.

GILGEORI TOAST (KOREAN STREET TOAST WITH CABBAGE AND EGG)

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine cabbage, carrot, scallions, salt and pepper. Massage the vegetable mixture for 30 seconds, squeezing to tenderize. Crack in the egg and mix well.
• In a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Place both slices of the bread on the pan, moving them around to soak up all the melted butter on one side, and toast until golden-brown underneath, about 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet, and flip the bread to soak up the butter and to toast on the other side until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle the top of each toast with 1/2 teaspoon sugar or slather the top of each with 1 teaspoon jam.
• In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add the cabbage mixture, and use one spatula in each hand to shape and hold it as it cooks to match the size of your bread. Cook the cabbage mixture just until it turns slightly golden underneath, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip the mixture, top with ham and cheese, if using, and cook until the other side is golden underneath, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer the cabbage mixture to one piece of sweetened toast. Top with ketchup and mayonnaise to taste, and add the remaining slice of bread, sweetened side down. Serve immediately, sliced in half if desired.

THE PERFECT EGG TOASTIE

Steps:

• Brush the sandwich toaster with a little sunflower oil and preheat to its highest setting.
• Brush the bread with oil on one side only. Break the eggs into two separate cups.
• Place one slice of bread in the toaster (oiled side down) and press the bread down into the triangular recesses with the back of a spoon (taking care not to puncture the bread or your egg will leak out). With a metal spoon, carefully spoon the whole yolk of each egg into each of the two recesses. Whisk the white of the eggs lightly with a fork to break them up a bit and then spoon as much white around the yolks as your recess will hold. Do not overfill or your sandwich will leak. You may well have some egg white left over; as a guide, I can get about 1.5 egg whites in my toaster.
• Gently place the second slice of bread on top (oiled side up) and bring the lid down slowly so that it rests on the sandwich. (Do not squash it or attempt to lock the toaster shut at this stage). Leave in this position for 2 minutes. Then, slowly close and lock the lid, and cook for a further 3 minutes. After this time the toastie should be golden and crisp on the outside, and on the inside the white should be set and the yolk still runny.
