This Eggy Bread Avocado and Ham Sandwich Is From Cook And Share Cookbook by Mary Berry

Ingredients Needed

• 4 slices granary bread
• 30g butter, softened, plus extra for frying
• 2 tbsp pickle or chutney
• ½ ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
• 55g mature Cheddar, grated
• 2 slices ham
• 2 eggs
• A dash of sunflower oil, for frying

How To Make Eggy Bread Avocado and Ham Sandwich

1. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread two slices of bread with butter and pickle, then top with avocado slices, grated cheese, and ham. Sandwich with the remaining slices of bread and press down firmly.
2. Prepare the Egg Mixture: Break the eggs into a shallow dish and beat them with a fork until fully combined.
3. Coat the Sandwiches: Carefully dip the sandwiches into the beaten egg, making sure both sides are coated. The bread will absorb the egg mixture.
4. Fry the Sandwiches: Heat a little oil and butter in a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add the sandwiches and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the filling has melted.
5. Serve: Slice each sandwich in half and serve hot.

Recipe Tips

• Use ripe avocado: Make sure the avocado is ripe for a creamy texture and better flavour. Hard avocado will be harder to spread and less tasty.
• Don’t over-soak the bread: Dip the bread quickly into the egg mixture to avoid it becoming soggy. The bread should absorb the egg, not drown in it.
• Fry on medium heat: Fry the sandwiches over medium heat to ensure they cook evenly and don’t burn before the filling melts.
• Add extra butter for crispiness: For extra crispy bread, use a little more butter when frying. It gives the sandwich a golden, crispy crust.
• Press the sandwich down: Press down firmly on the sandwich while frying to help it cook evenly and keep the filling inside.
