Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven on to 200 °C on broil or convection. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Slice the red onion

    Peel the small red onion and cut it into thin slices.

  3. Cook the onion

    Melt 5 g of butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add the onion with a pinch of salt and sauté it for 3 min until tender.

  4. Prep the avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and scoop out the flesh with the spoon. Mash it with a fork in the bowl with the crème fraîche, nutmeg, salt and pepper.

    Tip · Mash the avocado right before topping, otherwise it turns brown. If you have too much, keep the pit in the mix while it waits.

  5. Butter and toast the bread

    Butter one side of the 4 slices of sandwich bread with the remaining 10 g of butter. Bake them on the sheet for 5 to 6 min, until golden.

    Tip · Butter the bread all the way to the edges and start watching it at 5 min, because sandwich bread goes from golden to burnt fast.

  6. Top the toasts

    Spread the avocado over the toasted slices. Add the ham on top, then the cooked onion.

  7. Add the cheese

    Sprinkle the 50 g of shredded Swiss cheese over the 4 toasts, spreading it evenly.

  8. Melt the cheese

    Bake for 3 to 4 min, until the cheese is melted and lightly golden. Serve right away.
