Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 3 large eggs
• ¼ tsp kosher salt
• ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for the eggs)
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for the bread)
• 4 slices thick-cut sandwich bread or brioche
• 4 slices smoked ham (deli-style or leftover baked ham)
• 4 slices cheddar cheese (or use a blend for extra melt)
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional but adds great flavor)

Instructions – Step-by-Step

1. Scramble the Eggs

Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add salt and pepper. Beat well until fully combined and slightly frothy.
In a nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Pour in the eggs. Let them sit undisturbed for 30 seconds, then gently stir. Cook slowly until just set but still soft and moist. Turn off the heat.

2. Toast the Ham

In the same skillet, add your ham slices and cook for 30–60 seconds per side until heated through and slightly crispy on the edges.

3. Assemble the Sandwiches

Butter one side of each slice of bread. On the unbuttered side, add a slice of cheddar, some fluffy scrambled eggs, two slices of ham, and another slice of cheddar. Optionally, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard inside. Top with another slice of bread, buttered side out.

4. Grill to Golden Perfection

Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place your sandwiches in the skillet and press them down slightly with a spatula or a heavy pan. Grill each side for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Pro Tips

• Want extra creaminess? Add a spoon of cream cheese to your eggs.
• Love spice? Add hot honey or sliced jalapeños inside.
• For extra crunch, toast the bread lightly before assembling.
• Make it deluxe: Add sautéed onions, spinach, or a fried egg on top!
