My mum made me “egg in a hole” for breakfast when I was a kid, why have I only recently started eating it again? Because I’ve turned it into the ultimate breakfast sandwich. In the states they call it a grilled cheese, or a BEC (bacon egg cheese), we call it a ham and cheese toasty. But the real win comes from making the “egg in a hole” the top of the sandwich. eggs sustainably farmed eggs have the perfect golden yolk, and the Burford browns are the perfect size.
Cut two thick slices of good quality bread and load the bottom slice with your favourite cheddar, and the best ham you can get your hands on, add a k**b of butter to a pan on medium heat and toast the bottom of the bread before popping the cheesy slice in the oven at 180c for 3-4 mins
Meanwhile, carefully cut a hole in the top slice of bread (I use a plastic champagne flute 💅) and toast again in a buttery pan, then crack a egg directly into the hole! Carefully flip before removing your bottom slice from the oven.
Put them together, and enjoy! The perfect breakfast sandwich, to start the weekend properly.
