FRIED EGG SANDWICH 

Easter Monday is the day dedicated to picnics, lunches away from home, and so on and so forth. A recipe particularly suitable for an outdoor meal is the fried egg sandwich. It is a hearty sandwich, to be prepared in the morning and to be enjoyed without problems even a few hours later. 

The sandwiches with ham, eggs and cheese are a tasty preparation for brunch, they are made by frying the eggs in a non-stick pan and spreading the mustard on the slices of bread that will then be covered with a slice of cooked ham, a slice of provolone cheese and a fried egg. A second slice of ham will complete the preparation.

Ingredients

Bread 8 slices 

Eggs 4 

Cooked ham 300 g 

Provolone cheese 150 g 

Butter 50 g 

Mustard 3 tablespoons 

Extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon

Preparation

Spread the mustard on the slices of bread in a box; Fry the eggs in a non-stick pan just greased with extra virgin olive oil. Place on 4 slices of bread a few slices of smoked ham, 1 fried egg and a few slices of provolone cheese; Cover with another slice of bread. Grease each sandwich externally and cook it covered in a pan until it is golden on both sides. Serve the sandwiches hot.

Recommendation

This preparation is the reinterpretation of a typically French recipe called Croque Madame. If you remove the egg and put the cheese externally it becomes a Croque Monsieur.
