How to make a pan-fried toastie

INGREDIENTS

Two eggs

Two slices of bread

Cheese

METHOD

Crack two eggs into a bowl, along with a pinch of salt and pepper and then whisk the mixture with a fork.

In a non-stick pan over low heat, pour the eggs in, then dip two slices of bread directly in the mixture.

As the eggs start to cook, quickly turn the bread over, ensuring both sides are coated in the mixture, and then place them side by side in the pan.

Once the eggs are cooked, use a spatula to flip the bread over at the same time, with the omelette now sitting on top.

Add the cheese and ham on one piece of bread. Neatly fold in the eggs around the sides of the bread. Flip one slice of bread onto the other to create the sandwich.

First, she cracked two eggs into a bowl, along with a pinch of salt and pepper and then she whisked the mixture with a fork.

‘For this recipe, I’ll be using two eggs, lightly season with salt and pepper,’ she said.
