CEHT Sandwich

Updated: Oct 20


This sandwich is more than just a tasty meal—it’s a nostalgic nod to @miso.en.place's childhood. Inspired by her grandma, who made this for her when she was young, I’ve recreated this simple yet delicious combination of crisp cucumber, seared ham, and over-easy eggs, all layered between slices of toasted sourdough.


Bread, cucumber, egg, ham and tomato...


The balance of flavors is both comforting and satisfying, and I love how the thinly sliced cucumber adds a refreshing crunch to every bite. It’s a recipe with heart, and I think we should call it the CEHT sandwich after its key ingredients: Cucumber, Egg, Ham, and Tomato.



Making this sandwich is quick and easy, perfect for a light lunch or even a hearty breakfast. The toasted sourdough brings a delightful crunch, while the slightly salty, seasoned cucumber, juicy tomatoes, and runny yolk from the over-easy egg create layers of flavor that are hard to resist.


It’s the kind of sandwich that feels comforting but still has enough freshness and texture to keep things interesting.



You’ll definitely want to try this recipe because I’ll be incorporating it into my next one, so you can see how this humble yet delicious sandwich can be the foundation for something even more exciting.


Whip one up, and enjoy the simple goodness of this CEHT sandwich while staying tuned for the next twist!
