Description
A delicious Egg and Ham Breakfast Sandwich featuring crispy sourdough bread, sharp cheddar cheese, and a perfectly cooked egg.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon salted butter, softened
- 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 slices deli ham
- 1 large egg
- 1 pinch salt and black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
- Butter one side of each bread slice evenly to create a crisp, golden exterior when toasted.
- Place the bread butter-side down in a skillet over medium heat and top with cheese so it begins to soften immediately.
- Fry the egg in a separate part of the pan until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny.
- Warm the ham slices briefly in the skillet to release their savory aroma before stacking them on the cheese.
- Assemble the sandwich by placing the egg and ham between the bread slices and grilling until deep brown.
- Slice the sandwich in half and garnish with fresh thyme leaves for a pop of color and fragrance.
Notes
- For a spicier sandwich, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
- Feel free to substitute the cheese with your favorite variety.
- Serve with your choice of hot sauce or ketchup for extra flavor.
