Sandwich Ingredients
- 1 English muffin (cut in half)
- 2 eggs
- 2-4 slices of ham (black forest or any preferred type)
- 1/3 cup finely shredded Mexican cheese
- 1 tsp finely chopped chives
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp olive oil or butter (for sautéing)
Instructions
- Preheat the Pan: Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and drizzle it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter to prepare for cooking the sandwich components.
- Toast Muffin & Cook Eggs: Place the English muffin halves cut-side down on one half of the pan. On the other half, crack 2 eggs side by side and gently break the yolks with a spatula to cook evenly.
- Season & Add Cheese: When the eggs are mostly set, sprinkle salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of freshly chopped chives over the tops. Then add half of the shredded cheese over the eggs. Next, put the toasted English muffin halves, cut-side down, over the eggs and press lightly with the spatula to bind.
- Assemble & Finish: Flip the sandwich carefully so the egg side is up. Layer 2-4 slices of ham over half the sandwich, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, then fold the sandwich together. Remove from heat and serve immediately for a warm, melty breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can customize the ham type to your preference; smoked, black forest, or even turkey slices work well.
- Use butter for a richer flavor or olive oil for a lighter option when sautéing.
- Fresh chives add a mild onion flavor, but you can substitute with green onions or omit entirely.
- Be careful when flipping the sandwich to avoid spilling the eggs.
- Serving suggestion: Serve with fresh fruit or a side of hash browns for a complete breakfast.
