Ingredients

  • 2 slices bread I like sourdough or whole wheat
  • 1 Tablespoon mayo
  • 1 medium tomato
  • 4-5 Leaves Romaine Lettuce washed and thoroughly dried
  • 2 Large Eggs and a bit of oil to cook them
  • seasoning for eggs I use Vegeta (Note 1)
  • 1-2 Ounces Sharp* Cheddar Cheese *As far as I'm concerned, no other cheddar cheese exists!
  • 4-8 Slices Thin cut deli ham

Instructions

  1. Toast your bread. Spread mayo, tomatoes on one side. Layer the lettuce on the other. Put the ham slices on the lettuce.

  2. Get a nonstick skillet and add a bit of oil or spray oil. Get the skillet warm and crack your eggs in, season 'em, and cook them until the whites are starting to firm up then layer the cheese on top. Continue cooking until edges are crispy and caramelized and the cheese is melted.

  3. Layer the cheddar fried eggs onto the ham. Bring those happy pieces of bread to each other and EAT!!! Enjoy :)

Recipe Notes

Note 1: Vegeta is an all purpose vegetable seasoning sold in Ethnic supermarkets. You can use it to season anything but I love it on eggs.
