Preparation Instructions

1

Preparing the Sandwich

Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

2

Assemble the Sandwich

Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Layer with ham and half of the Gruyère cheese. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.

3

Cook the Sandwich

Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for another 3-4 minutes, adding the remaining cheese on top before flipping.

4

Fry the Egg

In a separate pan, fry an egg to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.

5

Serve

Once the sandwich is cooked and the cheese is melted, place the fried egg on top of the sandwich. Serve hot.
