Egg Ham Breakfast Sandwich (Printable Version)
A crispy sandwich featuring fluffy eggs, melted cheddar, and smoky ham on buttery toasted bread.
# Ingredients:
→ Protein
01 -
4 large eggs, whisked
02 -
100 grams deli ham, firm slices
→ Dairy
03 -
60 grams cheddar cheese, thick slices
04 -
30 grams unsalted butter
→ Bread
05 -
4 slices sourdough or hearty white bread
→ Seasoning
06 -
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
07 -
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
# Steps:
01 -
Heat two tablespoons of unsalted butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until fragrant and evenly coated.
02 -
In a bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly with kosher salt and white pepper until fluffy and slightly bubbly.
03 -
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, tilting it to spread evenly. Immediately place the bread slices buttered side up so they touch gently, pressing down slightly.
04 -
Cook over medium heat without disturbance for five to seven minutes until eggs are firm and no longer jiggly.
05 -
Using a large spatula, flip the bread and eggs together so the eggs rest atop the bread slices evenly.
06 -
Place cheddar cheese slices on one piece of bread, then layer the ham on top. Fold any stray egg edges over the ham to maintain a neat sandwich.
07 -
Press the untopped bread slice onto the cheese and ham layer, gently pressing to secure the sandwich structure.
08 -
Continue cooking the sandwich for an additional two to three minutes, flipping as needed until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese fully melts. Remove from heat, slice, and serve warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Use low heat throughout to prevent eggs from becoming rubbery.
02 -
Allow sandwich to rest one minute before slicing to retain melty cheese.
03 -
For extra crunch, gently press sandwich with a spatula during final browning.
