Ingredients

    Temperature: 180°C

  3. Add cheese and ham

    When the eggs are almost done, sprinkle the grated cheese over the top then place the ham slices.

    Fold the bread slice over the filling, press lightly with the spatula and let the cheese melt for another 1 minute.

    Time: PT1M

  5. Serve

    Remove the sandwich, cut in half if desired and serve immediately, ideally with a small green salad.
