Ingredients

• 2 slices Bread (sourdough or whole grain)
• 2 slices Ham (thinly sliced)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 tablespoon Chives (fresh)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a small pot and cover them with cold water. Heat the pot over medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil.

Step 2

Once the water boils, reduce the heat to low and simmer the eggs for 8 minutes for a firm yolk.

Step 3

While the eggs boil, lightly toast the slices of bread to your preferred level of crispiness.

Step 4

Spread butter evenly across the toasted bread slices while still warm.

Step 5

Drain the eggs and transfer them to an ice bath to cool for 2 minutes. Peel the eggs and slice them into rounds.

Step 6

Place one slice of ham on each piece of buttered toast, allowing the edges of the ham to slightly overhang.

Step 7

Arrange the boiled egg slices on top of the ham, dividing them evenly between the two pieces of toast.

Step 8

Sprinkle the eggs with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Finely chop the fresh chives and scatter them generously over the top of the sandwiches.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful open-faced sandwich!
