Ingredients

• 2 pieces Rye bread slices
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 pieces Deli ham slices
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Neutral oil (e.g., canola or sunflower oil)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Butter one side of each rye bread slice and place them butter-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard evenly on the unbuttered side of each rye bread slice as a base layer.

Step 4

Lay 2 slices of deli ham on top of each piece of bread, ensuring the ham covers most of the surface.

Step 5

Heat a small, non-stick skillet over medium heat with 1 teaspoon of oil. Crack one egg into the skillet and cook sunny side up or to your preferred doneness. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Repeat with the second egg.

Step 6

Carefully transfer a cooked egg onto each prepared bread slice with ham.

Step 7

Place the open-faced sandwiches in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the bread edges are crisp and the toppings are warmed through.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and garnish each sandwich with finely chopped fresh chives for a pop of flavor and color.

Step 9

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Danish-inspired open-face sandwich!
