How to Make Cheesy Ham Breakfast Sandwich

1. Start by preheating a skillet over medium heat.
2. While the skillet heats, spread mayonnaise on the inside of each sesame seed bun.
3. Add the butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
4. Place the bottom halves of the buns in the skillet, cut side down, and layer on the sliced ham evenly.
5. Top the ham with slices of cheddar cheese, then place the top halves of the buns on each sandwich.
6. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the buns are golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
7. Carefully flip the sandwiches, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown.
8. Remove from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use a non-stick skillet for easier flipping and cleaning.
• For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of black pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the mayonnaise.
• Make sure to keep an eye on the buns to prevent burning; adjust the heat if necessary.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the ham for turkey or bacon for a different taste.
• Experiment with different cheeses like Swiss or pepper jack for a kick.
• Add avocado slices or spinach for a fresh twist.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit like berries or sliced apples for a refreshing side.
• A hot cup of coffee or tea to complement your breakfast.
• A side of crispy hash browns for a heartier meal.
