Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    Crack the egg into a bowl, mix with milk, and prepare the egg batter. Lightly spread butter on one side of each of the two slices of bread.

    Advice: Whisk the egg batter well to ensure the egg white and yolk are evenly combined. Spreading butter thoroughly to the edges of the bread will result in an even golden-brown color and a fragrant finish.

    Ingredients
    Egg 1egg
    Milk 25ml
    Sliced bread (8 slices) 2slices
    Butter 5g
  2. 2

    Place 2 slices of ham and 1 slice of cheese between the bread slices, ensuring the buttered sides face outwards.

    Advice: Place the fillings towards the center of the bread to prevent them from coming out during cooking.

    Ingredients
    Sliced ham 2slices
    Sliced cheese 1slice
  3. 3

    Quickly dip both sides of the prepared sandwich into the egg batter. Make sure to thoroughly soak the crusts as well.

    Advice: Don't soak the bread in the egg batter for too long, as it can become fragile; just a quick dip is sufficient. Soaking the crusts too will help achieve an overall fluffy texture.

    Ingredients
    Egg 1egg
    Milk 25ml
  4. 4

    Heat a frying pan over low to medium heat, then place the egg-dipped sandwich in it. Gently press down with a spatula and cook one side for 4 minutes. Once golden brown, flip and cook the other side for another 4 minutes.

    Advice: Cooking slowly over low to medium heat will melt the cheese inside and make the bread crispy and fluffy.

    ⏱ Cook one side 4 min
    ⏱ Cook the other side 4 min

    Once both sides are golden brown, remove from heat. Slice in half if desired, plate, and serve!

    Advice: Cutting it immediately after cooking might be hot; let it cool slightly before slicing to stabilize the cheese and make it easier to cut.
