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.

Hi Natasha
I’ve been making this sandwich for years. Its our family’s” GoTo” Airport sandwich for taking on a plane. Sometimes I make it with croissants. When we pull the sandwiches out, everyone around just drools. Airlines don’t feed us anymore, so we bring our own. So economical too! I also heat the ham up in the microwave while the eggs are cooking and add it at the end. It helps to melt the cheese too. So yummy!
Hi Mary! What a great idea. I’m glad your family enjoys this recipe. Thank you for sharing with us.
Far better than the fast-food version!
With today’s recipe prep, I subbed the ham with 4 slices of fully-cooked Canadian Bacon for each sandwich, and used recipe amounts of fine shredded Monterey Jack cheese – instead of Mexican. I used onion greens to replace the chives, and made no changes to the original recipe instructions. Cooking times were the same and ingredient changes resulted in another awesome grilled sandwich, with different great flavors.
Thank you for sharing, Robert! I’m so glad you loved them.
