Roasting the Peppers:
Begin by preparing the red bell peppers. Wash them thoroughly and dry them. Arrange the peppers on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Roast the peppers in a preheated fan oven at 220°C (428°F) for approximately 50 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking process. Once roasted, allow them to cool slightly. The skin will peel off easily, and you can remove the seeds and inner filaments. Cut the peppers into strips, place them in a bowl, and season with garlic (minced or finely chopped), fresh mint, sea salt, black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir everything together and set the mixture aside.

Making the Sour Cream Sauce:
While the peppers are cooling, prepare the sour cream sauce. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream with finely chopped chives, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Mix well, and set this aside as well. -
Preparing the Sandwich Buns:
Place the bottom halves of the sandwich rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Add slices of Edam cheese on top and bake in the preheated oven for a few minutes, just enough to melt the cheese. If you like, you can also heat the top halves of the rolls at this stage. -
Cooking the Eggs:
While the rolls are in the oven, heat a pan over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Crack the eggs into the pan, either directly or using a small dish to ease them in. Season the eggs with salt and pepper, and cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, as preferred. This should take about 3-4 minutes. -
Assembling the Sandwich:
Once the cheese has melted on the bottom halves of the rolls, remove them from the oven. Start by layering the roasted red peppers on the cheese-covered buns. Then, gently place a fried egg on top of the peppers. Spread the sour cream sauce on the top halves of the rolls. Finally, close the sandwich, pressing it lightly to ensure everything stays together. -
