Ingredients
-
1 cup thinly sliced green cabbage
-
⅓ cup julienned carrot
-
1 stalk green onion, thinly sliced
-
½ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 pinch cayenne pepper
-
2 large eggs
-
3 tablespoons salted butter, divided
-
2 thick slices white bread
-
½ teaspoon white sugar, or to taste
-
2 thin slices smoked ham
-
1 slice mild Cheddar cheese
-
1 tablespoon ketchup, or to taste
-
1 tablespoon mayonnaise, or to taste
Directions
-
Mix cabbage, carrot, green onion, salt, pepper, and cayenne with your hands in a bowl until soft, about 30 seconds. Mix in eggs with a fork until thoroughly combined.
-
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bread slices and flip a few times to make sure both sides are coated with butter. Grill bread until beautifully toasted, golden brown, and a little crispy on both sides. Transfer to a plate.
-
Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add cabbage mixture; cook and simultaneously mix by using the edge of a spatula to chop down on the surface while pushing the edges up and over the top. As the mixture starts to hold its shape, form it into a rectangle that's about twice as long as it is wide. Split the rectangle in half into two square patties; continue to cook until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side.
-
Stack patties on top of one another onto one slice of toast and sprinkle with sugar.
-
Place ham slices into the hot skillet; cook over medium heat until sizzling, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and top with Cheddar slice; cook until melted, about 1 minute.
-
Place ham and cheese on top of patties; top with ketchup, mayonnaise, and remaining slice of toast. Cut in half and serve.

Recipe Tips
You can use grated carrot instead of julienned, Korean chile flakes instead of cayenne, and American cheese instead of Cheddar.
To make a smaller sandwich, use fewer vegetables and one egg.
