Step 1

First, wash and finely shred the cabbage and onion. In a bowl, crack 3-4 eggs and whisk them thoroughly with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper until smooth. Add the shredded cabbage and onion to the beaten eggs and mix well to create the egg and vegetable mixture.

Step 2

Melt 3 tablespoons of margarine or butter in a pan over medium-low heat. The key to authentic street toast is the rich, buttery flavor of margarine, so don’t be shy to use it for that classic taste!

Step 3

If you have egg molds, pour the prepared egg and vegetable mixture into the molds. If not, you can simply pour it into the pan to form a round shape. Cook until golden brown.

Step 4

Add a little more margarine to the pan (or use a separate one). Place the bread slices and ham slices in the pan and toast them until golden brown. Gently press the bread slices as you flip them for extra crispiness. Ham cooks quickly; once browned, push them to the side of the pan.

Step 5

Once the bread is flipped, spread about 1 tablespoon of mustard evenly over one side of each slice. The zesty kick of mustard complements the egg and ham beautifully.

Step 6

Layer the cooked egg and vegetable patty, ham, and cheese slices onto the mustard-spread bread. The order doesn’t strictly matter, but placing cheese on top of the hot ingredients will help it melt wonderfully.

Step 7

On the inside of the other bread slice, spread ketchup and sprinkle sugar to your preference. The sweet and tangy combination is what makes street toast so delightful.

Step 8

Now, place the prepared bread slice on top to close the sandwich. Your delicious street toast is complete! You can slice it in half to showcase the filling for a more appealing presentation.
