This ultra-simple sandwich is our take on the signature served at Hong Kong’s Australia Dairy Company. Shaved leg ham would add another dimension, as would toasting one side of the bread slices, but we love the simplicity of this straight-up version. It’s definitely a case of a dish being greater than the sum of its parts.

Ingredients

8 eggs

300 ml pouring cream

2 tsp light soy sauce

8 thick slices soft white bread from a square loaf, crusts trimmed
