Uitsmijter (Dutch Ham, Gouda and Egg Sandwich)
Report
Uitsmijter is a Dutch open-faced sandwich which is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or as a late night meal. It's easy to make, uses only a few basic ingredients, and is utterly satisfying.

Ingredients

- 2 eggs
- salt and pepper
- chopped parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions
- If desired, lightly toast the bread, allow it to cool and then lightly butter one side. Set the buttered bread slices side by side on a plate so they are touching. Top with the ham and cheese.
- In a small nonstick frying pan over medium heat, melt the 1 teaspoon of butter and then add the eggs, seasoning with salt and pepper as desired. Cook the eggs to your liking. (I usually cover the pan, lower the heat, and let it cook sunny-side up just until the whites at the edges of the yolks start to become opaque and set).
- Slide the cooked eggs on top of your assembled sandwich. Garnish with chopped parsley or chopped chives, if desired, for some color.
Notes
- This is usually a substantial serving, containing 2 slices of bread side-by-side (not enclosed like a typical sandwich) and 2 eggs. If you have a smaller appetite, you could split this recipe into 2 smaller open-faced sandwiches to serve 2 people.
- If you toast your bread like I do, make sure you only lightly toast them and don't dry them out too much. Otherwise it will be difficult to eat this open-faced sandwich, even with a really good, sharp knife to cut it.
- Sliced tomatoes are sometimes included in the sandwich or on the side. Sliced pickles are also a welcome accompaniment on the side.
