Strammer Max is a very popular sandwich in German cuisine. Such popularity is due to the fact that it is a large, satisfying and tasty sandwich, it is quick and easy to prepare and at the same time very affordable in terms of ingredients. Strong Max is very good as a hot breakfast or for a quality snack. It takes little time to prepare, and the result is beyond praise. Translated from German, Strammer Max is a strong (dense, well-fed) Max, although translating the established name of the dish is probably not entirely correct. There is no single and canonical recipe for Strammer Max. There is a mandatory set of ingredients, and various additions and slight changes in cooking technology, as well as serving, may appear depending on the region of Germany and even depending on each particular restaurant.

How to cook Strong Max (Strammer Max)

Step 1

Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat and put a slice of bread in it.

Step 2

Fry the bread on one side, turn it over and immediately put the sliced \u200b\u200bpieces of cheese on it. While the second side of the piece is fried, the cheese will have time to heat up and begin to melt.

Step 3

You can, before laying out the cheese, lightly rub the fried side with garlic and / or lightly grease with mustard. Mustard is better to take not very spicy - sweet or Bavarian. We take out the bread from the pan and, if desired, you can fry slices of ham in it. This is not absolutely necessary, but it is possible. But what is required is to quickly fry fried eggs in the same pan in the same pan. Everything must be done quickly so that the bread does not have time to cool. Break 1-2 eggs into hot butter, depending on the size of the sandwich. The yolk must remain intact. Sprinkle the eggs with salt to taste. The egg white should be completely cooked, and the yolk should remain liquid, although it will thicken.

Step 4

Then it remains only to collect Strammer Max together. Lay slices of ham or prosciutto on toasted bread with softened warm cheese. We spread the fried eggs on top, lightly sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and immediately, as hot as possible, serve on the table.
