Ingredients
  

  • slice whole-grain bread about 40 g
  • 1 tbsp cream cheese 15 g, softened
  • 1 tsp fresh chives 3 g, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp olive oil 5 ml, divided
  • 1 slice deli ham 30 g
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 2 slices tomato 60 g
  • 1 tsp lemon juice 5 ml
  • 1/4 tsp Dijon mustard 1 g
  • 1/3 cup alfalfa sprouts 25 g

Method
 

  1. Toast the slice of whole-grain bread until golden and crisp on the edges while still slightly soft in the center
  2. Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over the warm toast and sprinkle chopped chives on top
  3. Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add half of the olive oil until it shimmers lightly
  4. Place the ham slice in the pan and cook briefly until warmed through and slightly browned at the edges
  5. Remove the ham and set aside, keeping it warm
  6. Crack the egg into a small bowl, add black pepper, and whisk until smooth and slightly frothy
  7. Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet and pour in the egg mixture
  8. Gently stir the egg as it cooks, forming soft, tender curds that remain slightly creamy and moist
  9. Layer the warm ham over the prepared toast, followed by the tomato slices
  10. Spoon the soft scrambled egg on top, allowing it to settle naturally over the layers
  11. In a small bowl, mix lemon juice and Dijon mustard until smooth and tangy
  12. Toss the sprouts in the dressing until lightly coated and glistening
  13. Finish the sandwich by piling the dressed sprouts on top for a fresh, crisp finish
