A delicious and hearty Egg and Ham Breakfast Sandwich made with fluffy scrambled eggs, melted cheddar cheese, savory deli ham, and buttery toasted bread. Perfect for a satisfying morning meal.

Ingredients

Main Components

  • 2 slices of classic sandwich bread
  • 3 heaping tablespoons of unsalted butter, split up
  • 1 creamy slice of cheddar cheese
  • 2 hearty slices of ham from the deli
  • 3 large eggs, whisked
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon flaky kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the eggs: In a bowl, combine the whisked eggs, kosher salt, and white pepper. Whisk everything together until well mixed.
  2. Melt butter in skillet: Place a large skillet on medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow it to melt completely.
  3. Butter the bread: Use the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to spread on one side of each bread slice and set them aside, buttered side up.
  4. Cook eggs and arrange bread: Pour the egg mixture into the warm skillet and tilt the pan to spread the eggs evenly. Immediately place both bread slices, butter side up, with their unbuttered sides touching, directly onto the eggs.
  5. Set the eggs: Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 5 to 7 minutes until they are fully set and no longer liquidy.
  6. Flip the sandwich components: Carefully flip the bread and eggs so the bread is now down on the skillet and the eggs are on top. Flip only when the eggs are fully set to keep the sandwich intact.
  7. Add cheese and ham: Place the cheddar slice on one piece of bread, then stack the deli ham on top. Fold any extra cooked egg over the ham side.
  8. Assemble and finish cooking: Flip the other bread slice over the ham and cheese. Then, flip the entire sandwich over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese bubbles and the bread is golden and crispy on the outside.
  9. Serve warm: Remove from heat and enjoy the sandwich while warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use freshly cracked eggs for best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the seasoning to taste by adding more or less salt and pepper.
  • For a healthier option, substitute ham with turkey or skip the butter and use a non-stick spray.
  • This sandwich can be made ahead and warmed up, but is best enjoyed fresh.
  • Feel free to add fresh herbs like chives or parsley to the eggs for added flavor.
