Ingredients
- 4 slices wholemeal bread
- 15g reduced-fat spread
- 50g lighter mature grated cheese
- 20g salad leaves (we used spinach, watercress & rocket mix)
- 4 smoked ham slices (about 70g)
- 1 tbsp onion chutney, plus extra to serve
- 2 medium eggs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ x 300g pot reduced-fat coleslaw
- 120g cherry vine tomatoes
Step by step
- Spread 2 slices of bread with the reduced-fat spread and top with the grated cheese, pressing down lightly to stick. Top with the salad leaves, followed by the ham slices. Spread the remaining 2 slices of bread with the onion chutney and flip over onto the ham to make 2 sandwiches.
- Whisk each egg in a separate wide, shallow bowl and season with salt and black pepper. Place one sandwich into one of the bowls of beaten egg, press down well and turn to coat the other side. Repeat with the second sandwich in the other bowl, so that both are evenly soaked.
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan, then add the sandwiches. Pour over any remaining egg and cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Cut each eggy bread sandwich diagonally in half and serve with the coleslaw, cherry vine tomatoes and extra onion chutney, if you like.
