Heat the oven to 425 F. Build 4 open-faced sandwiches with the bread, ham, and cheese.
Butter the bread lightly and bake until the edges brown and the cheese melts, about 6 minutes.
Spoon warm Mornay over the tops and return to the oven until bubbling and spotted brown.
Meanwhile fry the eggs in butter until the whites are set and the yolks stay runny.
Top each sandwich with an egg, black pepper, and parsley. Serve immediately.
Jason's Notes
This is not a grilled ham and cheese with an egg tossed on top. It is a knife-and-fork bistro sandwich with sauce, browned edges, and real structure.
