Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
Number of servings: 1

Ingredients:
- 2 slices of bread (choose a quality bread, such as ciabatta or whole grain for added nutrients)
- 2 slices of ham (preferably homemade ham or prosciutto for an intense flavor)
- 1 slice of telemea cheese (or feta, for a saltier option)
- 1 egg (for extra protein and consistency)
- 1/2 bunch of fresh parsley (for freshness and flavor)
- 1 teaspoon of cream cheese (choose a flavored cream cheese, such as garlic or herbs)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A pinch of turmeric (optional, but adds a touch of color and nutritional benefits)

Preparation instructions:

1. Prepare the ingredients: Start by finely chopping the fresh parsley. Make sure it is well washed and dried, as water can affect the sandwich's texture. You can use a sharp knife or a cutting board to make it easier.

2. Spread the bread: Take the two slices of bread and spread one side of each slice with cream cheese. Make sure to apply it evenly so that each bite is full of creaminess.

3. Add the ham and cheese: Place the slices of ham on one slice of bread. Then, add the slice of telemea cheese. If you prefer a stronger taste, you can opt for an aged telemea cheese. You can also add a few slices of tomatoes or cucumbers for extra freshness.

4. Sprinkle the greens: Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the cheese. This will not only add a splash of color but will also enrich the flavor of your sandwich.

5. Season: Add salt, pepper, and if desired, a pinch of turmeric for a unique taste and color. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, so this sandwich will be not only tasty but also healthy.

6. Prepare the egg: In a small pan, heat a little oil or butter over medium heat. Crack the egg into the pan and fry it until the white is well cooked, but the yolk remains slightly soft, if you prefer a poached egg. This will add a creamy texture to the sandwich.

7. Assemble the sandwich: Cover the ham, cheese, and greens with the other slice of bread, cream cheese inside. Press gently to secure them.

8. Cook the sandwich: You can choose to fry the sandwich in a pan to achieve a crispy crust. Cook it over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until it becomes golden and crispy.

Serving: Cut the sandwich in half for an appetizing appearance and serve it warm. You can accompany the sandwich with a fresh salad or vegetable chips for a balanced lunch.

Possible variations: You can experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar, and you can add ingredients like avocado, olives, or red peppers to customize the sandwich to your taste.
