A delightful breakfast or brunch option featuring a warm, cheesy, and savory toast topped with ham and egg.
Toast the slice of bread until golden brown.
Toasting the bread ensures it stays crispy even after adding the toppings.
Spread butter evenly over the toasted bread.
Butter the toast while it's still warm for easy spreading.
Place the ham slice on the buttered toast.
Warm the ham slightly in the microwave or on a skillet for enhanced flavor.
Cook the egg to your preference (poached, fried, or scrambled).
For a perfectly poached egg, add a splash of vinegar to the simmering water.
Place the cooked egg on top of the ham.
Ensure the egg is well-drained to avoid sogginess.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the egg.
Use freshly grated cheese for better melting and flavor.
Place the assembled toast on an oven-safe plate and broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Keep an eye on the broiler to prevent burning.
Serve the cheesy ham and egg toast warm and enjoy.
Garnish with chopped parsley or chives for a fresh touch.
