Sandwich Ingredients- 4 slices of bread (whole wheat or rye bread can be used as preferred)
- 2 eggs (fresh, free-range eggs recommended)
- A generous amount of fig jam (can be substituted with other jams or spreads)
- 2 slices of cheddar cheese
- 1 slice of fresh tomato (thinly sliced)
Flavor Enhancing Seasonings & Ingredients- A pinch of herb salt (can be substituted with pepper or other herb seasonings)
- 2 Tbsp butter (to enhance the bread’s flavor)
- A pinch of herb salt (can be substituted with pepper or other herb seasonings)
- 2 Tbsp butter (to enhance the bread’s flavor)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick frying pan over low heat. Ensure the butter doesn’t burn and spreads evenly across the pan.
Step 2
Once the butter is melted, place the bread slices in the pan. Toast them until they are golden brown and appetizing on both sides. The edges should be slightly crispy.
Step 3
Toasted bread can become soggy from steam if not handled properly. By standing the toasted bread slices upright, you allow steam to escape, keeping them delightfully crisp until served.
Step 4
In the same pan (add a little more butter if needed), maintaining low heat, carefully crack the eggs. Sprinkle a pinch of herb salt over the eggs to add a savory aroma.
Step 5
When the egg whites start to set, gently flip the eggs with a spatula. Turn off the heat immediately and let the residual heat cook the eggs. This will result in a perfectly soft-boiled egg with a slightly runny yolk. Cook longer if you prefer a fully cooked yolk.
Step 6
Spread fig jam evenly onto one side of a toasted bread slice. The sweetness of the jam will enrich the overall flavor of your sandwich.
Step 7
Layer the cheddar cheese slice on top of the jam-spread bread, followed by the tomato slices, and finally, carefully place the soft-boiled egg. (Feel free to add other fillings like tuna salad or ham salad).
Step 8
Top with the other slice of toasted bread to complete your delicious, generously filled sandwich. You can also cut the sandwich in half if you prefer.
Step 9
Now, let’s beautifully package your sandwich. Place the finished sandwich in the center of a large sheet of parchment paper (baking paper).
Step 10
Fold one side of the parchment paper over the sandwich, and then fold the other side similarly. Aim for neat folds that showcase the sandwich’s shape. Secure the overlapping sides with tape.
Step 11
Next, neatly fold in the ends of the parchment paper, just like wrapping a gift. Use tape to firmly secure these folds, ensuring the sandwich’s shape is maintained.
Step 12
Finally, use a serrated bread knife to cut the sandwich in half. Saw gently to prevent the fillings from scattering and to create a clean, appealing cut surface. Your beautifully packaged sandwich is now ready!
