- Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Mix in the cheese once it is melted. Dip each slice of bread into the melted cheese, coating both sides.
- Heat a frypan over medium heat. Place one slice of bread into the skillet and top with 2 slices of ham. Place the second piece of bread on top. Fry until golden on each side, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Fry the egg in the hot frypan to your liking: easy, medium, or well done. Place the fried egg on top of the sandwich and serve.

looks absolutely wonderful, must try - but OMG with that fat content should be a twice a year treat!! - 02 Oct 2012
Very tasty and so easy! Just make sure everything you are serving the sandwich with is ready as it cooks so quick! Will definitely make again and again! - 29 Jul 2012
This variant is close to the classic CM, however to reduce the fat content and expand the flavour profile, use sliced Gouda or Edam cheese with a mere smear of Dijon Mustard beneath the good quality ham slices. This item is easy to prepare and consume on a regular basis in our humble household. - 06 Feb 2016
