Ingredients

How to Make Cheesy Ham and Egg Breakfast Sandwich

1. Begin by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, coating the bottom of the pan.
2. Crack the eggs into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. If you prefer your yolks firmer, cook for an additional minute.
3. While the eggs are cooking, place the ham slices in the skillet next to the eggs. Heat for about 1-2 minutes until warmed through.
4. Once the ham is heated, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each slice of ham. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt, about 1 minute.
5. Meanwhile, toast the sesame seed buns in a separate toaster or on another skillet until golden brown.
6. Assemble the sandwich: on the bottom half of each bun, layer the ham with melted cheese, followed by the cooked egg.
7. Top with the other half of the bun, and add any optional condiments if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• For a creamier egg, consider scrambling them instead of frying.
• Use different types of cheese like pepper jack or gouda for a flavor twist.
• If you prefer a crunch, add some spinach or arugula to your sandwich.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the ham for turkey, bacon, or sausage for a different protein.
• Add sliced avocado or fresh tomatoes for extra freshness.
• Spice things up with jalapeños or a sprinkle of paprika.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• Crispy hash browns or home fries for that classic breakfast feel.
• A steaming cup of coffee or your favorite morning beverage.
