Strammer Max Deluxe

Stammer Max in the deluxe version with Black Forest ham and a vinaigrette.

Preparation time 15-20 minutes

Preparation You need: A toaster A medium frying pan
Ingredients (for 4 Strammer Max), the vinaigrette 1 small red onion 4 Tbsp red wine vinegar 2-3 stalks of parsley Salt, pepper, 1 pinch of sugar
Ingredients (for 4 Strammer Max), the rest 4 not too large slices of good bread (approx. 20x10 cm) Some butter Sunflower oil 4 eggs 150 g thin slices of Black Forest Ham 3 gherkins
The vinaigrette The first step: Toast the slices of bread in the toaster until golden brown. Place on the dinner plates. Meanwhile... Finely chop the onion. Pluck the parsley leaves and chop coarsely. Mix the ingredients to make the vinaigrette, stir well and set aside.
The sandwiches I make the sandwiches in pairs in 2 steps here, so that one can have the second pair freshly made and warm as well. Crack 2 eggs into the pan and fry slowly over a good medium heat only. Season a little with pepper and fleur de sel. In the meantime... Butter the toasted breads and generously top with ham. Cut the gherkins into thin long slices. Preheat the oven to 90 degrees. Once the eggs are fried as desired (I like the yolk still runny) place on the breads, directly on top of the ham. Then put some more ham on top, 2 spoonfuls of the vinaigrette and some of the gherkins. Once both breads are done, put them in the oven for a short while (3 minutes, that's all).

The more traditional version would be with only slices of cooked ham, some cheese (Gruyere and Edamer for instance) and an egg.
