Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, lightly toast your croissants or bread slices in a pan over low heat. This will make the outside crispy while keeping the inside soft, enhancing the flavor. Once toasted, cut them in half.
Step 2
Spread a thin layer of tangy onion dressing or toast sauce on the inner side of the bread. This will help harmonize the flavors of the ingredients and add a savory depth to your sandwich.
Step 3
Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese evenly on one side of the bread. Cream cheese adds a wonderful creaminess to the sandwich and balances the flavors of other ingredients, creating a richer taste experience.
Step 4
Wash and thoroughly dry the fresh lettuce and arugula. Gently place them on top of the sauced side of the bread. Their crisp texture and refreshing aroma will elevate the sandwich’s taste.
Step 5
Thinly slice the ripe avocado and the sweet apple. Arrange the sliced fruits and vegetables in a single layer, without overlapping, for a beautiful presentation that’s also easy to eat.
Step 6
Fry the eggs into round patties. Aim for a medium thickness so they fit well within the sandwich layers. Carefully place the cooked egg on top of the fruits and vegetables.
Step 7
Using round, pre-sliced ham from the supermarket eliminates the need for tedious slicing, making assembly much easier. Place the ham slices attractively on top of the egg.
Step 8
Squeeze a generous amount of ketchup (‘pzzj’ sound!) over the ham and egg, and other ingredients as desired. The sweet and tangy ketchup will enhance the overall flavor profile of the sandwich.
Step 9
While the sandwich looks wonderfully colorful and beautiful with all the ingredients stacked, it can be a bit challenging to eat, especially for those with smaller mouths. Here’s a tip to make it more manageable.
Step 10
Wrap the sandwich tightly with plastic wrap, about two layers. Ensure it’s snug to hold everything together. Then, carefully slice it in half horizontally. This creates a neat, bite-sized sandwich that won’t fall apart as you eat!
