How to Make Cheesy Ham and Egg Breakfast Sandwiches
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt a small amount of butter or heat a drizzle of oil.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook to your desired doneness. For sunny-side up, cook for about 3-4 minutes; for over-easy, flip gently and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, cut the sesame seed buns in half and lightly toast them in another skillet or toaster until golden brown.
- Once the eggs are cooked, place two slices of ham on each bottom half of the toasted buns, followed by a slice of cheddar cheese.
- Carefully place a cooked egg on top of the cheese and ham, then spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on the top bun.
- Top each sandwich with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
