Ingredients

Main Ingredients (1 serving)

  • Bread slices 2 (8-slice thickness)
  • Eggs 2
  • Cooked Ham slices 2
  • Sliced Cheese 1

Seasonings

  • [A] Mayonnaise 2 tsp
  • [A] Whole Grain Mustard 1/2 tsp
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)

Steps

  1. Heat a frying pan over low heat.
  2. Add oil and, once heated through, crack in 2 eggs. **(This is the key!)** Adding the eggs after the pan is sufficiently hot prevents the egg whites from spreading thinly.
  3. Cover with a lid and steam-fry until the egg yolks turn white. **(This is the key!)** Steam-fry with the image of only solidifying the surface, not cooking the inside completely. Lightly cooking will make the egg less likely to break when assembled into a sandwich.
  4. Turn off the heat, keep the lid on, and let it stand while it cooks through with residual heat.
  5. In a bowl, combine 2 tsp mayonnaise and 1/2 tsp whole grain mustard, and mix well to make mustard mayonnaise. **(This is the key!)** Adjust the amount of mustard to your preference to balance the acidity and spiciness.
  6. Take one slice of bread and place the fried egg on top, ensuring the yolk is in the center. **(This is the key!)** If the yolk is off-center, it will be unbalanced, difficult to cook, and hard to eat, so aim for the center.
  7. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper over the fried egg.
  8. Layer 2 slices of cooked ham and 1 slice of cheese on top.
  9. Spread the prepared mustard mayonnaise on the edge of the other slice of bread. **(This is the key!)** Spreading it on the edge prevents the bread from shifting when you sandwich it.
  10. Place the bread with the mustard mayonnaise on top of the fillings and sandwich.
  11. Heat the frying pan over a heat between low and very low, add oil, and warm it up.
  12. Once the oil is warm, place the sandwiched bread in the pan and lightly coat it with oil.
  13. Place aluminum foil on top of the bread, then stack another frying pan (or pot) with a weight on top and press for 1.5 minutes while cooking. **(This is the key!)** By pressing with a weight and cooking slowly, the bread will become firm like a hot sandwich maker, resulting in a crispy exterior and juicy interior. Adjust the weight position as needed to ensure even pressing.
  14. After 1.5 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and flip the bread. **(This is the key!)** Since the surface is not hot, pressing down with your hand while flipping makes it less likely for the bread to shift.
  15. Pour oil onto the surface of the flipped bread and lightly coat it.
  16. Place the aluminum foil and weight back on, and this time cook while pressing for 1 minute.
  17. After 1 minute, turn off the heat, remove the weight, and check the browning.
  18. If there are any areas with light browning, adjust the color by pressing with a turner while using residual heat.
  19. Cut the finished hot egg sandwich in half.
