Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet or frying pan

Ingredients
  

Sandwich Foundations

  • 2 slices of bread sourdough, brioche, or whole grain
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 slices of ham
  • 1 slice of cheese cheddar or your favorite
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Flavor Boosters

  • Fresh herbs chives, parsley
  • Hot sauce
  • Dijon mustard
  • Sliced avocado
  • Cream cheese spread

Substitution Options

  • Gluten-free? Use gluten-free bread
  • Dairy-free? Skip cheese or use a dairy-free alternative
  • Low-carb? Use a lettuce wrap instead of bread
  • Vegetarian? Replace ham with plant-based protein

Quality Recommendations

  • Use farm-fresh eggs for better taste and texture
  • Choose high-quality nitrate-free ham
  • Select artisan bread when possible
  • Opt for organic ingredients

Instructions
 

1️⃣ Toast the Bread

  • Butter both slices of bread lightly and toast until golden brown.
  • For extra crispiness, toast on a cast-iron skillet over medium heat.

2️⃣ Cook the Eggs

  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Add butter or oil, then cook eggs to your preference (over-easy, scrambled, or fried).
  • Season with salt and pepper for extra flavor.

3️⃣ Assemble the Sandwich

  • Place ham and cheese on warm toast.
  • Top with freshly cooked eggs – the heat will slightly melt the cheese, creating a deliciously gooey layer.

4️⃣ Final Touches

  • Add flavor boosters like hot sauce, Dijon mustard, or avocado for an elevated taste.

5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy

  • Eat immediately or wrap it up for an on-the-go breakfast!

Notes

✔ Meal Prep: Make multiple sandwiches, wrap them tightly, and refrigerate. Reheat in a skillet for a crisp finish!
✔ Customizable: Switch up the ingredients based on your preference—more cheese, extra crispy toast, or a spicy kick!
✔ Perfect for On-The-Go: Wrap in parchment paper for a mess-free, handheld breakfast!
