Nutrition (per serving)

Ingredients

• 2 slices thick-cut white bread
• 2 large eggs
• 50g cabbage, finely shredded
• 20g carrot, julienned
• 20g onion, finely diced
• 2 slices ham
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• A pinch of black pepper
• 2 tbsp butter, divided
• Ketchup (optional, for serving)
• Mayonnaise (optional, for serving)

Steps

1. In a bowl, whisk eggs. Add shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, finely diced onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
2. Heat 1/2 tbsp of butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry ham slices until lightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
3. Using the same pan, add another 1/2 tbsp of butter. Pour half of the egg mixture into the pan and spread it into a rectangular shape, similar to the bread slice. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture to make a second patty.
4. In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tbsp of butter. Toast the bread slices on both sides until golden brown and crispy.
5. Place one toasted bread slice on a plate. Layer with one egg patty, two slices of ham, and then sprinkle with sugar. Drizzle with ketchup and mayonnaise if desired. Top with the second toasted bread slice.
