Description
This delicious open-faced sandwich - topped with a fried egg - will knock your socks off! If desired, drizzle with sriracha sauce for a little extra flavor and a little kick.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon pesto, or to taste
- 1 slice dense and hearty bread
- 1 slice Swiss cheese
- 2 slices deli-sliced honey ham
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 egg
Directions
- 1. Spread pesto over one side of the bread. Top with Swiss cheese. Cover the cheese completely with ham.
- 2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sandwich ham-side down; cook until ham starts to caramelize and cheese begins to melt, 3 to 4 minutes. Spread 1 tablespoon butter carefully over the top side of the bread. Flip and cook sandwich until buttered side is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
- 3. Meanwhile, melt butter in another skillet. Crack egg into the hot butter and fry until white is set, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer sandwich to a plate and top with the fried egg.
