Background

After Easter and Christmas we all have a lot of leftover ham which we mainly use for sandwiches. This ham and fried egg sandwich is perfect for breakfast, brunch or a lazy weekend lunch. It’s super easy to make - for the spread you can use pesto, chutney, egg sandwich cream, or mushroom paté or just some mustard.

Ingredients

½ red or yellow bell pepper or rosted pepper from jar
1 ciabatta roll
1 large egg
2 sliced roasted or boiled ham
Pesto, egg sandwich filler cream, or chutney
Chopped chives
Oil to cook

Instructions

Cut the pepper into two large chunks and fry them in a pan on bothy sides.
When the pepper is almost done, crack the egg and tip it into the pan (make sure it has enough oil).
Fry the egg for about 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut the ciabatta in half and lightly toast them.
Spread your chose paste on the lower half and put the fried pepper, then the ham slices on top.
When the egg white has set, remove it with a spatula onto the ham.
