🥄 Texture

The dish is rich and creamy with a glossy, slightly sticky glaze coating the ingredients. You get soft, runny egg yolks and melted cheese balanced by tender, slightly chewy ham and briefly-wilted but still slightly crisp lettuce.

👃 Aroma

Bright citrus top notes from fresh orange dominate initially, with caramelized cola sweetness underneath. Savory aromas of melted cheese, browned ham and buttered egg round out the profile.

🍷 Pairs Well With

A crisp, dry white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc) or a cold, light lager; alternatively sparkling water with a lemon or lime wedge to cut the richness.

🥗 Side Dishes

Light cucumber or daikon salad with a rice vinegar dressing; steamed edamame or a simple clear miso soup; pickled vegetables or a small green salad to add freshness and acidity.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pan over medium heat. Crack both eggs into the pan and fry until the whites are set but yolks are still slightly runny (about 3-4 minutes). Remove eggs to a plate and set aside.

  2. 2

    In the same pan, add the diced ham and cook for 2 minutes until lightly browned. Add the shredded cheese and stir until melted, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Pour the fresh orange juice and Coca-Cola into the pan, stirring gently. Let it simmer for 2 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly and becomes glossy.

  4. 4

    Add the chopped lettuce to the pan and toss gently for 1 minute until slightly wilted. Stir in the mayonnaise until everything is well coated.

  5. 5

    Slide the fried eggs back into the pan on top of the mixture, season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately while warm.
