Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Place two slices, buttered side down, in a skillet over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add Ham and Cheese

    Layer the ham and Gruyère cheese on top of the bread in the skillet. Place the other two slices of bread on top, buttered side up.

  3. 3

    Cook the Sandwich

    Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Fry the Eggs

    Fry the Eggs

    In a separate skillet, add a bit of butter and fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.

    Assemble and Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and top each with a fried egg. Serve with mixed greens and French fries on the side.
