Open-Faced Ham and Cheese Sandwich

Directions

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

Methods :

Spread pesto over one side of the bread. Top with Swiss cheese. Cover the cheese completely with ham.

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.

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.
