Prepare a plate with a slice of bread, a slice of ham or leberkäse, and an egg.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add clarified butter or ghee.

Lightly roast the ham or leberkäse in the pan until warm, about 1-2 minutes.

Add the slice of homemade bread to the pan and let it toast, checking until it is golden brown.

Add more clarified butter or ghee if needed to prevent sticking.

Crack the egg into the pan and season with smoked paprika and salt.

Cover the pan with a lid to help the egg cook faster, about 1 minute.

Once the egg is cooked to your liking, assemble the sandwich by spreading mustard on the toasted bread, adding the ham or leberkäse, and placing the fried egg on top.

Serve with a good portion of potato salad on the side.
