Ham and Cheese Toasts
Description
Suitable for both special occasions and everyday meals. You can use any type of ham and cheese to your liking. To make the toasts hearty, fry the bread dipped in egg on both sides, and place cheese and ham in the middle of the toasts. Choose processed cheese — it melts perfectly on a hot toast. You can complement the dish with pickled or salted cucumbers, fresh tomatoes, olives, and capers. Serve with fresh herbs and sauce.
