Servings: 2
Cost: 100
Ingredients
- 4 thick slices of sourdough or crusty white bread
- 2 large eggs
- 4 slices of good-quality ham honey-roast or smoked
- 100 g blue cheese Stilton, Gorgonzola, or Roquefort, crumbled
- 1 tbsp butter plus more for toasting
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: Dijon mustard or a drizzle of honey for a flavor twist
Instructions
Fry the Eggs:
- Heat butter in a pan and fry the eggs until the whites are set but yolks are still runny (or to your preference). Season with black pepper.
Assemble the Toastie:
- Butter one side of each bread slice.
- On the unbuttered side, layer: ham slices, crumbled blue cheese, and a fried egg.
- Optional: Add a tiny spread of Dijon mustard or a light drizzle of honey for sweet heat balance.
- Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
Toast It Up:
- Heat a non-stick pan or sandwich press. Cook the toastie on medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side (or until golden and crispy). Press gently for extra crunch.
Serve Hot:
- Slice in half and serve immediately—preferably with a strong cup of coffee or cold craft beer.
