Time 9m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 Thick slices of rye bred
2 Eggs
Oil for frying
4 Slices of cured ham
Butter
Pepper
Onion (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut two slices of rye bread. We usually cut thick slices when making Strammer Max - as this is what Lisa's family used to do growing up. If you prefer, you can cut the slices thinner.
  • If you like, you can toast your bread in a toaster until slightly brown. We usually skip this step since fresh rye bread tastes delicious not toasted.
  • Carefully butter your bread and add two slices of cured ham on each slice. Optional: Add a few slices of raw onions on top of the ham.
  • Heat up your frying pan with a little bit of oil and crack the two eggs into it. Be careful to not break the yolk. Add pepper to taste. Fry your egg sunny-side up (yolk up) for approx. 6 minutes. The yolk should still be slightly runny.
  • Using a spatula/flipper, gently place the fried egg on top of your bread and ham. Serve, and enjoy hot!

STRAMMER MAX - GERMAN WARM SANDWICH



Strammer Max - German Warm Sandwich image

Strammer Max means stiff or tight Max which is Saxon slang and means exactly what you think it means. Traditionally it's a butter fried slice of bread with ham and a fried egg. My MIL uses to make this version every time she wants to make a quick dinner.

Time 15m

Yield 1 sandwich, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 slice bread
1 teaspoon butter
2 ounces bacon
1 egg
1 tomatoes
1 ounce swiss cheese, grated
pepper

Steps:

  • Toast and butter bread and spread with bacon and sliced tomato while heating a lightly oiled skillet.
  • Fry the egg to desired doneness, season with pepper and top with grated swiss cheese.
  • As soon as cheese has melted, transfer the fried egg on top of the sandwich, serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, ripe tomatoes, flavorful cheese, and thick-cut ham.
  • Toast the bread until it's golden brown and crispy. This will help it hold up to the toppings and prevent it from getting soggy.
  • Spread the mayonnaise evenly over the bread. This will help to bind the ingredients together and add a creamy flavor.
  • Layer the ham, cheese, and tomatoes on top of the mayonnaise. Be generous with the toppings, but don't overload the sandwich or it will be difficult to eat.
  • Fry the egg in a little bit of oil until it's cooked to your liking. Then, place it on top of the sandwich.
  • Season the sandwich with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately, while the egg is still hot and runny.

Conclusion:

The Strammer Max is a delicious and satisfying open-face sandwich that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give the Strammer Max a try!
