1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp mizithra (or grated parmesan or grated Romano)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
Slather one side of each of the pieces of rye bread with mayonnaise. Divide the mizithra cheese in two and sprinkle each half on top of the mayonnaise. Use your hands to gently pat the mizithra into place (the mayonnaise will help it "stick").
2 slices rye bread, 1 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp mizithra (or grated parmesan or grated Romano)
Melt the butter in a small frying pan and once melted, place one slice of the bread into the pan, mayonnaise and mizithra cheese side down. Lay the ham onto the bread and then top with the grated kefalotiri. Place the second piece of bread over the kefalotiri, mayonnaise and mizithra side up.
4 slices smoked ham, or jambon, 1 tbsp butter, 1/4 cup grated kefalotyri cheese
Cook your sandwich while occasionally pressing down with the back of a spatula. Gently flip the sandwich over, and cook until both sides are a golden brown.
Transfer your sandwich to a baking tray and place in the middle rack of your oven to keep warm while you fry your egg.
Wipe your frying pan clean and then heat up your olive oil.
1/4 cup olive oil
When the oil is hot, crack the egg into a bowl and slip it into the hot oil. Fry your egg until it is crispy around the edges. While it is cooking, use a spoon to pour some of the hot olive oil over the yolk, to help it to cook on the outside.
