Egg and Ham Breakfast Sandwich

Introduction

A classic Egg and Ham Breakfast Sandwich is breakfast perfection: hearty, satisfying, and packed with protein to get your day started right. The beauty of this sandwich lies in its crisp edges, melty cheese, and savory ham—all encased between a pillowy, toasted bun or English muffin. Quick to make and endlessly customizable, it’s a foolproof favorite for busy mornings or leisurely weekend brunches.

Why This Egg and Ham Breakfast Sandwich Stands Out

This breakfast staple stands out for its unbeatable combination of flavors. The rich yolk of a freshly cooked egg pairs perfectly with the smoky saltiness of ham, all elevated by your choice of melty cheese. With endless topping variations (think: tomato, spinach, or avocado), you can cater each sandwich to satisfying any craving, making it a sure-fire crowd pleaser.

Making the Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich

The secret to a stellar Egg and Ham Breakfast Sandwich is in the details: properly toasted bread, a perfectly cooked egg (runny or firm, your choice), and fresh, high-quality ham. A drizzle of olive oil and just the right pan heat gives you golden, crisp edges without overcooking the egg.

Elevate your sandwich by prepping toppings with the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper—chop tomatoes, onions, or peppers in seconds for added crunch and flavor.

Easy Steps for Toasted Perfection

Start by lightly buttering your bread or English muffin and toasting it in the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch for an evenly golden surface. While your bread is toasting, fry the ham just until it’s heated through and lightly browned, infusing it with extra savoriness.

To get the ideal crispiness on your bread without burning, use a quick spray from the YARRAMATE 16oz/470ml Oil Sprayer for Cooking for even oil distribution.

Creamy Eggs, Savory Ham, and Cheese

Crack your egg right onto the hot pan and let it sizzle. If you prefer an over-easy egg, flip gently with a spatula, keeping the yolk as runny or firm as you like. Layer the ham and cheese on top just before the egg finishes cooking, allowing the cheese to get a little melty for that perfect breakfast bite.

Consider using the KitchenAid All Purpose Kitchen Shears with Protective Sheath to trim your ham or easily cut herbs for garnish.

Serving and Customization Ideas

Slide your egg, ham, and cheese stack onto your toasted bread. Add leafy greens, a slice of tomato, or a smear of mustard or mayo for extra flavor. Pair your sandwich with a fruit salad, keep it simple with a hot coffee, or stash it in a Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl for on-the-go breakfasts.
