Time 18m

Yield 4 sandwiches, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 slices sourdough bread
8 ounces gruyere, very thinly sliced
12 ounces smoked ham, very thinly sliced
2 -3 tablespoons mayonnaise
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 extra-large eggs
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Butter 1 side of each bread slice.
  • Set half of the slices of bread buttered side down in the griddle or cast iron skillet, and cover each with a slice of cheese. Place 3 or 4 slices of the ham over the cheese, and place the top slice of bread over the ham, buttered side up.
  • Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat. Cook sandwiches until bottom is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side. Remove sandwiches and place on a plate.
  • Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the top of each sandwich, and then place a slice of cheese on top. Put the sandwiches back onto the griddle or skillet then place in oven, cooking until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in skillet over high heat. Cook each egg sunny side up. Turn egg over and cook 3 minutes longer for a soft-cooked egg, or 5 minutes longer for a hard-cooked egg. Repeat with remaining butter and eggs.
  • Place 1 fried egg atop each sandwich. Season egg, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve sandwich immediately.
