You can easily scale this recipe up or down depending on how many mouths you’re feeding. Watch this video tutorial to see just how quick and easy it is…
This recipe has completely won us over. The inspiration came when My husband’s cousin Vicky shared a video on Facebook for a breakfast sandwich. After making our version 4 days in a row, we knew it needed to be shared with you.
This is also a kid-friendly breakfast. Our son requests this sandwich all the time.
Ingredients for 1 Breakfast Sandwich:
1 english muffin, cut in half
2 eggs
2-4 slices of ham (we ❤️ black forest but any kind will do)
1/3 cup finely shredded cheese (we used Mexican cheese)
1 tsp chives, finely chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Tbsp olive oil or butter to saute
Tip: to make 2 sandwiches at a time, toast the English muffin in the toaster and sauté two sets of eggs in the pan.

What is your go-to quick breakfast?
Just made this for my son and I this morning. I only had 2 eggs left, so had to make with 1 egg apiece (which ended up being perfect!). These were so good – Egg McMuffin……what? Won’t be getting those anymore, there’s no comparison. I might try with bacon or sausage in the future. I had diced ham today, which didn’t want to be contained and popped like popcorn when it sat in the frying pan…lol. After I go grocery shopping and buy more eggs, we’ll be having these again. Maybe with a side of hash browns on the weekend.
Thank you for sharing, Cheryl! I’m glad to hear that.
Just made this breakfast sandwich today and it was delicious. I love how grilling the muffins soften them up. Will be making these again, soon. Thanks!

I love all your recipes. This one looks delicious as always.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Ann Marie! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I was excited to see this recipe. When we camp, I cook everything in a skillet over a propane burner. This is perfect! My sandwich was pretty messy to eat. My husband suggested that I try using only one egg. I’ll try that next.
Hi Kat! I’m glad you enjoy this recipe. Thank you for sharing with us. 🙂
This is the best egg sandwich I’ve ever had! I used a large croissant, a little plain jack cheese, and only 2 pieces of nitrate free ham. I was so surprised at how perfectly delicious it was and fun to make! I can always turn to your website for the best recipes. THANK YOU!
You’re so welcome! I’m so happy to know that you love this recipe, thanks for sharing.

Natasha. This was our first go at the breakfast sandwich. It was easy to make and produced an excellent breakfast. Thank you for so many wonderful recipes.
That’s wonderful, Mike! So glad you enjoyed this recipe.
Hi Natasha. We make this once or twice a week. We live full time in our 25 ft camper van and once when an visitor arrived at lunch time I served them for lunch and they are now on her boating menu.
Sounds great! So happy to hear that you always have this on your menu. Thanks for the review, Robyn.

This recipe is the absolute easiest! It’s hands down my favorite breakfast adventure next to Nadiya Hussain’s egg roll ups. The video Natasha posted for this makes it a one-time doable recipe without needing to review it over & over to understand. Thank you so much Natasha! 🥳💜
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Rebecca!
Do this a lot. Jelly is really good with it….
A bread French toast version by coating both sides of bread(bottoms touching) in the 2 eggs with milk added and cook until you can flip the eggs and bread over then fold extra egg onto bread and add cheese and meat…flip together into your sandwich. Edge cook if needed until browned. Best sandwich ever.
Thanks for your great feedback and suggestion, Brent!
I love your recipes. It is really helpful when nutrition information is provided. I understand you cannot guarantee accuracy, but a ballpark of calories, proteins, fat and carbs is really helpful. I definitely use this information when deciding on a new recipe. Thanks!
I’m so glad you’re enjoying our recipes! Thank you for that great feedback!
Made it for the first time today. I won’t say it came out as good as yours but I was proud of my first attempt. Very good and super easy. Appreciate the recipe.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
The sandwich was delicious! However, I did throw the ham in the skillet to warm it up a bit. This is a winner!
Thanks for sharing that with us and for your great review!
