Ingredients
- 8 slices white bread
- Nice ham (the thinner the better)
- Cheddar (or whatever cheese you fancy)
- A few spoonfuls of cream cheese
- Dijon mustard
- Soft butter
- 4 eggs (at room temperature)
Directions
-
For the boiled eggs bring a pan to a rolling boil and simply submerge the eggs and boil for 5 and a half minutes. Remove and plunge into cold water. This will stop the cooking process but retain their soft centres.
-
Combine the cream cheese and mustard in a small bowl. This will be the glue for your sandwiches. Spread onto the insides of your bread.
-
Cut very thin slices of cheddar. Use a peeler or cheese slicer to get really thin slices.
-
Make the ham and cheese sandwiches and cut off the crusts, then cut into soldiers.
-
Butter the outsides of the sandwiches to prepare them for frying.
-
Fry in butter until toasted, making sure to turn them to toast each edge.
-
Serve your soldiers with the dippy eggs.
