Ham and Cheese Egg Dunkers

Ingredients

• Egg

  Whole, fresh eggs

  3 large or 150g

• Cheddar cheese

  4 slice (1 oz) or 112g

• Sliced ham

  Regular (approximately 11% fat)

  9 slice or 252g

• White bread

  Commercially prepared (includes soft bread crumbs)

  15 slice or 375g

• Butter

  Unsalted

  1 tbsp or 14g

Directions

1. Fill a small pot two-thirds full with water and bring to a boil.
2. With a paring knife, poke a small hole into the wider end of the eggs.
3. With a spoon, gently lower eggs into the boiling water and boil for precisely 5 minutes.
4. When eggs are done, carefully transfer them to a bowl of ice water.
5. Cut the cheddar cheese into strips, 4 inches long, ¼ inch thick.
6. Roll out a piece of white bread until flat and dense.
7. Place a slice of ham on the bread, then top with a strip of cheddar.
8. Roll up the bread (like a jelly roll) until cheese and ham are entirely covered.
9. Fry the bread rolls for about 4 minutes in a buttered sauté pan over medium-high heat. Turn halfway through or when rolls are lightly browned.
10. Meanwhile, use an egg carton to cut out egg holders for each egg.
11. Take eggs out of ice water. Serve with the ham and cheese dunkers.
