  2. 2Heat a large flat pan until hot, brush with butter and pour a ladle of batter, tilting to spread thin.
  3. 3Lower the heat. Scatter cheese in the centre, lay a slice of ham and crack an egg in the middle.
  4. 4Fold the four sides in to make a square, leaving the yolk visible. Cover for a minute until the white sets.
Serve it like this
