Misto Quente with Fried Egg
Brazil's everyday hot sandwich — ham and cheese pressed in a buttered pan until the bread crackles and the cheese runs out the sides — with a fried egg laid inside to make it breakfast.

Method
Butter the bread
ButterButter the bread on BOTH sides — the inside butter is what stops the sandwich going soggy under the cheese, and the outside is what fries it.

Press until golden
PressPress the sandwiches in the pan over medium-low heat for 3 minutes a side, weighted with a second pan, until deep golden and the cheese has completely melted. Low and slow — high heat browns the bread before the cheese has a chance to run.
Cook's noteCut it in half on the diagonal and eat it immediately, over a plate. In Brazil this is as much an afternoon snack as a breakfast.
