Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) if you're using cheese in your Strammer Max.
Toast your bread slices in the toaster or in the pan with a little bit of butter. Lay out the bread slices on a baking sheet or oven-safe plate. Place a slice of ham on each piece of bread.
4 slices Crusty Bread, 4 slices Ham
If using cheese, sprinkle a generous layer on top of the ham. Place the baking sheet or plate in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and set aside.
½ cup Grated Cheese
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Season with salt and pepper.
4 large Eggs, 2 tbsp. Butter, Salt & Pepper
Carefully place a fried egg on top of each prepared slice of bread. Garnish with fresh chives, if desired, and serve immediately.
