Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 4 slices Classic Sandwich Bread Consider using brioche for a richer flavor.
For the Filling
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Adds richness and creates a beautiful, golden toast.
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Creamy and melty; sharp cheddar or pepper jack for a twist.
  • 4 slices Deli Ham Savory protein source; can substitute with turkey or bacon.
  • 4 large Eggs Well-beaten for the fluffiest result.
  • 1 dash White Pepper Adds subtle spice; black pepper works as a substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Essential for seasoning the eggs.

Equipment

  • large skillet

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Egg and Ham Breakfast Sandwich
  1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter until light golden.
  2. Whisk together large eggs, kosher salt, and white pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook undisturbed until edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Butter one side of each slice of bread and place butter-side up onto the partially cooked eggs.
  5. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until eggs are set but still moist.
  6. Gently flip the sandwich so bread is on the bottom; layer cheese and ham on top to warm and melt.
  7. Flip the top slice of bread over the melted cheese and ham; cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve immediately for the best experience.
