Ingredients

How to Make Cheesy Ham and Egg Breakfast Sandwiches
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the pan.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. For a firmer yolk, flip the eggs and cook for an additional minute.
- While the eggs are cooking, slice the sesame seed buns in half and toast them lightly in another skillet or toaster until golden brown.
- Once the eggs are cooked, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each egg and cover the skillet briefly to melt the cheese, about 1 minute.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with lettuce, two slices of ham, a cheesy egg, and finish with the top half of the bun.
- Serve immediately, or wrap in foil for an easy breakfast on the go!
Tips for the Best Results
- For added flavor, consider using flavored mayonnaise or adding a dash of hot sauce to the egg.
- If you like your eggs scrambled, whisk them in a bowl before pouring them into the skillet.
- Make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the eggs to prevent sticking.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the ham for turkey, bacon, or sausage for a different flavor profile.
- Use different cheese varieties such as Swiss, pepper jack, or gouda for a twist.
- Add sliced tomatoes or avocado for extra freshness.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- A side of yogurt with granola for a balanced meal.
- Hot coffee or a smoothie for a complete breakfast experience.
Storage and Reheating
These breakfast sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, wrap in foil and warm in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or microwave for 30-60 seconds until heated through.
