The origin for the name of the dish is unclear, but there are many theories.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The caf\u00e9 in Amsterdam<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One theory goes that there was a caf\u00e9 guest in Amsterdam that always had to be thrown out for some or the other reason.

I wonder then what it was called in those days\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The quick preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another theory says that, because the dish is made so quickly (as all you have to do is fry the egg and the bread), it is basically <em>thrown<\/em> out of the kitchen or the pan. It can be served quickly!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The last dish before closing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Connected to the quick preparation, this theory goes that an <em>uitsmijter <\/em>can be made five minutes before closing, so the last thing the guest can order before he is thrown out of the caf\u00e9!<\/p>\n<p>I have mentioned the caf\u00e9 above so much, because it is a typical dish to be served in caf\u00e9s. It was already mentioned at the beginning of the 20th century, as &#8220;<em>sneedje brood met plakje vleesch en een spiegelei er op<\/em>&#8221; (slice of bread with a slice of meat and fried egg on top).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to make it yourself!<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2984\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright post-item__attachment\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/dutch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2014\/09\/uitsmijter.jpg\" aria-label=\"Uitsmijter 300x224\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2984\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2984\"  alt=\"The result!\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/dutch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2014\/09\/uitsmijter-300x224.jpg\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2984\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The result!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Ingredients (for 1 person)<\/p>\n<p>1 slice of bread<\/p>\n<p>2 eggs<\/p>\n<p>1 slice of ham<\/p>\n<p>1 slice of cheese<\/p>\n<p>A little bit of butter<\/p>\n<p>salt and pepper<\/p>\n<p>(some parsley to decorate)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Directions<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Fry the bread in some butter &#8211; but do not soak it!<\/li>\n<li>Fry the eggs next to it &#8211; sunny side up.<\/li>\n<li>Take out the bread, put on cheese, ham, and the eggs (in that order).<\/li>\n<li>Decorate with parsley and spice it up with salt and pepper.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"350\" height=\"261\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/dutch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2014\/09\/uitsmijter-350x261.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image tmp-hide-img\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/dutch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2014\/09\/uitsmijter-350x261.jpg 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/dutch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2014\/09\/uitsmijter-768x574.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/dutch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2014\/09\/uitsmijter.jpg 877w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p>It is lunchtime!
