• On the first slice, top with the ham, then a bread slice, top with tomato, and a bread slice, top with the mashed egg, then a final bread slice.
• Season each layer with salt and pepper to taste.
• Repeat with the remaining 4 slices of bread and filling.

• *Theseare only suggested filling that are popular and cut easily.
