Uitsmijter, Fried Eggs on Toast

10 min Easy With meat or fish 704 kcal 43 g protein

An uitsmijter is a ten minute lunch and the only thing that counts is the yolk. Fry the eggs over low heat in butter, without a lid, until the white has just set. Wait until the white around the yolk has turned white too and the yolk is already hard. Salt only after frying.

Tips from RandomRecept
  • Lay the cheese on the warm bread and it melts by itself.
  • Fry the eggs over medium heat for set whites and running yolks.
  • A little curry powder or paprika over the top works wonders.

Variations and storing

Cheese melts better if you put it under the ham rather than on top. An uitsmijter with cheese alone goes by a different name in some parts of the country, but tastes the same. Chives, pepper or a dash of sambal finish it off. This is a dish you eat immediately, keeping it serves no purpose.
