Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 slices Milk Bread
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup cabbage Chopped
- ¼ cup shredded cheese mozzarella or a blend works well
- ¼ tsp salt or to taste
- ⅛ tsp black pepper or to taste
- 1½ tbsp butter divided
- 3 slices ham optional
- 1-2 tbsp ketchup To taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped cabbage, egg, shredded cheese, a pinch of salt, and some black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
- Heat about ½ tablespoon of butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the slices of bread and toast both sides until golden and crisp. Once done, set them aside on a plate.
- Optional (Skip for Vegetarian): Using the same pan, pan-fry the slices of ham for 1–2 minutes on each side until heated through, then set those aside too.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan, then pour in the cabbage-egg mixture. Spread it out into a rectangle about the size of your bread. Let it cook for a few minutes until the bottom is golden and set. Carefully flip it over—if it breaks a little, just push it back into shape with your spatula—and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
- To assemble, place one slice of toasted bread on a plate. Add the ham (if using), then the cabbage omelette.
- Drizzle a bit of ketchup on top, then close it up with the second slice of toast.
- Slice the sandwich in half and serve while it’s hot and crispy.
