Cheesy Ham and Egg Toast

Let’s whip up a delicious and hearty toast that’s perfect for breakfast or a quick snack. This recipe combines the savory flavors of ham and cheese with the richness of a perfectly cooked egg, all topped on crispy toasted bread. A spread of mayonnaise adds a creamy texture, while mozzarella cheese brings a delicious melt. A sprinkle of parsley adds a fresh finish. Follow these simple steps to create a toast that’s packed with flavor and texture, making it a sure hit for any time of the day.

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of your favorite bread
• 1 slice of ham
• 2 slices of your preferred cheese (like cheddar or Swiss)
• Mayonnaise, to spread
• 1 egg
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• Shredded mozzarella cheese, for topping
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Directions:

1. Prep the Bread: Start by toasting the bread slices to your liking. You want them to be nicely crispy and golden brown to hold up the rest of the ingredients.
2. Assemble the Base: On one slice of toasted bread, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise. Then, place the slice of ham on top, followed by the two slices of cheese. This will create a flavorful and rich base for your toast.
3. Cook the Egg: In a small frying pan, crack the egg and cook it to your preference. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. A sunny-side-up or over-easy egg works wonderfully for this recipe, giving you a gooey yolk that adds richness to the toast.
4. Assemble the Toast: Once the egg is cooked, gently place it on top of the cheese layer. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the egg. The heat from the egg and the toast will start to melt the mozzarella, making it wonderfully gooey.
5. Broil (Optional): For an extra melty cheese topping, you can briefly place the assembled toast under the broiler for a minute or two, just until the mozzarella is bubbly and slightly golden.
6. Garnish and Serve: Finish by sprinkling chopped fresh parsley over the top for a burst of color and freshness. The parsley not only adds flavor but also brightens up the dish.
7. Enjoy: Your cheesy ham and egg toast is ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Tips:

• Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite types of cheese or by adding other ingredients like tomato slices or avocado for extra flavor and texture.
• For a spicier kick, a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of chili flakes can be added before serving.
