Cut a hole inside the toast or other kinds of bread. Brush the bread on both sides with butter. Lightly toast the bread on both sides in a heated frying pan.
In the hole, add finely chopped ham and carefully crack the egg. Turn down the heat, cover with a lid, and let the egg white set. After a couple of minutes, flip the slices of bread with a spatula and keep them under the lid again!
Rinse well and slice, or dice the tomatoes. After that, put them on top. Garnish with pea sprouts and season with salt and spices.

Use a glass to cut holes in the toast. If you're a fan of creativity, then you can also use cookie tins to give the hole in the toast the shape you want.
Experiment with the filling to your preferences. You can also add chopped mushrooms to it or make a creamy mushroom sauce separately and pour it over your toast. That way the dish will be incredibly tender and creamy.
Toast can also be pre-fried in a toaster. If you don't have one, use a frying pan as directed in the recipe.
