Crispy, grilled, buttery bread joins a slightly sweet, super savory vegetable-egg patty, smoky ham and melty cheese, and a ridiculous amount of mayo and ketchup for one of the most memorable sandwich experiences of my life. Plus, you'll eat about a whole serving of vegetables and barely even notice.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Combine carrot, cabbage, green onion, black pepper, cayenne, and salt.

Mix with your hands for about 30 seconds until soft and seasoned.

Add eggs and mix thoroughly with a fork; set aside.

Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Add bread slices and toss to make sure both sides are well buttered.

Grill bread until both sides are beautifully toasted and golden brown and starting to get a little crispy.

Remove to a plate.

Heat remaining 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 into a rectangle that's about twice as long as it is wide.

Split the rectangle in half and continue to cook until golden brown; flip and continue on the opposite side, 3 to 4 minutes total.

Stack cabbage pieces on top of one another and transfer to toast.

Top with sugar.

Add ham to the same skillet over medium heat; cook until sizzling.

Flip and top ham with Cheddar cheese.

Cook until melted, about 1 minute.

Place ham on sandwich and squeeze over mayonnaise and ketchup.

Top with remaining slice of toast, slice in half, and serve.
